Dr Review: No Time To Die

The Dr has loved the Daniel Craig Bond movies more than previous Bond movies. Pierce's Bond was corny, Sean's Bond is the classic, Roger Moore's Bond had some great lines, Dalton's Bond could kick some ass, but Craig's Bond embodied them all. The only sad thing was the years between some of the movies cost the story some substance.

No Time to Die brings to end the Craig Bond series that at least tied together in one long story. You have typical great Bond sequences. The side characters you care more about than in previous Bond movies. Moneypenny was around for meerly eye candy in previous Bonds and M was only there long enough to send Bond on his way. Q, Moneypenny, M, and Felix are all all Bond characters that contribute to the story and support Bond along the way.

There are a few Plot holes to No Time to Die. The use of an EMP pulse knocks out a massive electric panel but has no effect on an ear piece or robotic nanobytes. As with most movies it is only as good as its villain and Ramy Maleks villain is not fully developed. His motives are unclear and there is something not scary enough about him. The best villains are the ones who believe what they are doing is for the best and has you wondering if you wouldn't be the same way as the villain had you'd walked their shoes. The reasoning behind the villain is there but not fully explained and I guarantee most of the viewing audience had no idea why he was bad, just that he was bad.

Still, it is Bond and I will miss the Daniel Craig Bond. There will be a reboot coming as well as spin offs. It is the longest Bond movie but well worth watching.
