It isn’t the sleekest or most daring 007 adventure, but No Time to Die concludes Daniel Craig’s franchise tenure in satisfying style.
No Time To Die is the perfect movie for anyone who loves action, adventure, and a good spy story. Daniel Craig’s performance as Bond is top-notch, and Lashana Lynch is a standout as the fierce MI6 agent Nomi. The film has everything you could want from a Bond movie, including thrilling car chases, witty dialogue, and a villain with a diabolical plan. While it may not be a perfect send-off for Craig’s Bond, it’s still a fun and exciting ride that will leave you satisfied in the end. Plus, who doesn’t love a good explosion or two?

With his long upper lip and reluctance to crack a smile, [Daniel Craig] could have made his mark as the only grumpy Bond, but the pulsing intelligence behind the gloom has transformed it into gravitas without slowing down his performance.

No Time To Die is, on balance, a kinetic, expansive and stirring capstone to Craig’s adventures in those perfectly tailored Tom Ford suits.

Lashana Lynch is a total blast as the MI6 agent Nomi, both a worthy rival for Bond as well as a potential replacement.

Daniel Craig’s Bonds are not a bad place to start with [the character]. His Bond feels real, relevant to this time and immediate.

The last with Daniel Craig in the lead, the film brings together the various aspects of his nonconformist interpretation of James Bond in a most satisfying way.

TOP CRITIC
The film’s sole distinction is the fact that it’s the James Bond epic that finally manages to make 007 a crashing bore.

Sometimes overexplains, and at times the script is condescending… though it leaves you satisfied in the end. Good fan service. [Full review in Spanish]

Not the perfect send-off, but enough brilliant set-pieces.

Fukunaga nurtures Bond’s emotional journey — such as it is; he’s not a master of brutality like John Wick, but neither is he Anne of Green Gables — down the home stretch.

The film leaves one with a bittersweet farewell to the legacy that Craig has cemented while also maintaining a sense of optimism for what the future may hold.

All in all, No Time To Die is as Bond as you can get with action and car chases aplenty, witty dialogue and jokes to be had, but most of all, it is a befitting send-off to Craig’s iconic rendition of the much loved MI6 agent.

As Bond villains go, Safin checks off a lot of boxes: a scheme with globally catastrophic implications? An island hideout? A weird name (“Lyutsifer”)? It’s just too bad Malek manages to be even less menacing than Dominic Greene.

Plot
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
