Review of No Time to Die

6/10
4th consecutive 6/10 rating for craigs last four bond films!
4 October 2021
Casino royale (2006) 8/10 craigs best outing as bond and in my opinion one of the best films in the franchise.

Quantam of solace (2008) 6/10 A lot of promise but a poor villian and badly filmed action sequences, not nearly as entertaining as casino royale.

Skyfall (2012) 6/10 The most entertaining and comes 2nd in my opinion behind casino in craigs franchise but let down by shoddy script and ott villian and unbelievable storyline , many love this film, it made a lot of money but there are clearly plot holes a plenty.

Spectre (2015) 6/10 Apart from the opening sequence in mexico city the movie falls flat with a surly uninteresting bond girl and a weird modern day blofeld , some good bond themes but the movie is ultimately boring.

No time to die (2021) I was mis informed, this movie was breaking away from the universe of the last 4 craig outings and was going to stand alone with a new story but the story continues after spectre , the same dull bond girl from spectre and a cameo from blofeld who was defeated by bond in spectre, there is a new female 007 and not enough of the new bond girl played by ana de armas shes beautiful, felix leiter Returns as bonds comrade from casino royale and quantam of solace but only briefly, and the villain played by the usually excellent rami malek but his performance is just void in this, just a weird and badly developed character with an agenda i still havnt got my head around.overall the film starts well and has some nice touches just like the three prior bond films, but again the film wollows with inconsistencies just like the others, a good effort by craig as bond he was refreshing and brought something new to the franchise but the last four movies since casino royale have in my opinion been mediocre and choppy, maybe too many chefs ave spoiled the broth (directors, writers) roll on mr bond number 7 6/10.
