Review of No Time to Die (2021) by Emilytropic — 12 Apr 2022
Not the worst Bond movie, but definitely at the bottom. The story was needlessly convoluted and disjointed. Craig's heart doesn't seem in this movie at all. There are way too many characters and plot points that could easily have been cut out.
You barely care about half the cast. Action scenes were good but nothing noteworthy. Plot scenes came fast and furious with lots of jumping around and volume/tone/color changes that made them hard to see and hear - or care about.
Sadly you can already see them prepping the woke reboots using the all-new cast because they very clearly killed and/or replaced every single possible villain and classic character role with the diversity checklist.
Hollywood, if we wanted to get preached at, we'd go to a church. We don't need you ham-fistedly hacking up plot points and characters to cover your checklist of woke-isms. The Bond franchise is dead and it ended with a sad whimper, not a bang.
