I Watch Films: No Time To Die


No Time To Die

James Bond tries to make peace with the previous love of his life, so he can stay with his current love of his life; gets caught up in a revenge plot. Five years later he’s brought out of retirement (again) in Jamaica to discover a new twist on that revenge plot, which is hijacked by another villain’s revenge plot, also M has accidentally made a genocidal super-weapon which has been double reverse hijacked by the two revenge plots.

The film tries very hard to pick up both classic Bond ideas and themes from the Craig Bond films. And then it puts them down again, after turning them over in its hands. And other than that…

Well, a slightly incoherent thriller, with excellent visuals, some good jokes, great stunts and weird, facially deformed villains. A Bond film in other words.

Watch This: Thrills, spills and some actual acting as Daniel Craig brings a sense of finality to his last Bond film
Don’t Watch This: You were hoping it would tell us something, perhaps about the thriller in the 21st century, or at least about Bond
