Without giving too many details away to potentially ruin the first-time viewer experience, I’ll review the movie as great as I can in a nutshell.
As a die-hard James Bond fan, I couldn’t wait to watch the movie as the latest installment in the iconic franchise.
From the breathtaking action sequences to the heart-wrenching emotional moments, this movie has it all in a package.
Firstly, the story line is a masterpiece. Daniel Craig’s Bond is finally ready to retire from his life of espionage, but his peaceful existence is shattered when an old friend turns rogue and threatens to unleash a deadly biological weapon. As a result, Mr Bond has to team up with his old CIA buddy Felix Leiter and a new ally, Paloma to stop the villainous Safin before it’s too late. In my opinion, what sets this story apart is the way it explores Bond’s personal demons and relationships. We see a vulnerable side to Bond that we’ve never seen before, as he grapples with guilt over the death of Vesper Lynd and tries to reconcile with his former lover Madeleine Swann. The chemistry between Craig and Seydoux is electric, and their scenes together are some of the most emotional and memorable in the movie.
One crazy standout moment for me was a car chase through the streets of Matera, Italy. The stunt team used 8,400 gallons of fizzy drink on the streets to make them more slippery for the cars and bikes! It was an absolutely ingenious idea that added an extra layer of danger and excitement to an already thrilling scene. My rating for No Time To Die is a solid 9 out of 10.
IN SUMMARY – If you’re a fan of James Bond or just love a good action movie, I highly recommend giving this one a watch. It’s sure to leave you satisfied and eagerly anticipating what’s next for 007!
