![]() ![]() ![]() In No Time to Die, Bond has left active service with MI6 and is recruited by the CIA to find a kidnapped scientist, which leads to a showdown with a powerful and vengeful adversary armed with a technology capable of killing millions.ĭevelopment on the film began in 2016. Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Rory Kinnear and Ralph Fiennes reprise their roles from previous films, with Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah also starring. It was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga from a screenplay by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. It's no "Skyfall", but "Spectre" still delivers the amazing thrills, action and story we've become addicted to following one of cinema's most iconic spy of all-time.No Time to Die is a 2021 spy film and the twenty-fifth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Daniel Craig in his fifth and final portrayal of fictional British MI6 agent James Bond. We hoped to see smart and strong female characters as seen through Rebecca Ferguson's character in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation", but what we got was a stubborn damsel in distress played by Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci the latter who might've given more weight to the Bond girl aspect this time around if only she was given more screen time for her role to actually carry some significant weight. Christoph Waltz as the head villain seems to be channeling a more demure version of his Nazi Colonel from "Inglourious Basterds" and Dave Bautista ("The Guardians of the Galaxy") has been reduced to nothing more than a hulking goon that wants to fight Craig's Bond. The baddies in "Spectre" are disappointingly lacking in the evil department and they can hardly outshine the cyanide cynicism of Javier Bardem from "Skyfall" which he so cunningly yet cleverly delivered. Like all Bond movies, "Spectre" is no short of a high speed car chase, and the highlight of the chase this time around is the Aston-Martin DB10 and a Jaguar C-X75, which are so sleek and expensive-looking like the filmed chase scene that was so meticulously planned and choreographed to perfection. Daniel Craig is seen running from rooftops and snaking past the sugar skull painted crowds of Mexico City to stalk a deadly assassin during the colourful Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead festival). There are many of them fitted in between the intense dialogue driven scenes that are so beautifully shot, including the one at the very start of the film. That being said, the action sequences of "Spectre" are expectedly exhilarating. ![]() However, the latest Bond instalment doesn't disappoint (much) and offers another great story latching onto the most serious Bond to date.ĭaniel Craig returns for his fourth outing as 007, James Bond, but this time shots of him to wow in his tailored suits can't hide all of the belligerence he has faced through his past missions, as this time Bond appears hardened and troubled by all that's haunting him, finally ready to give it his all to end things once and for all. The Good, the Bad, and the Writing's on the Wall:įrom the theme song itself, "Spectre" feels a few notches below reaching the great heights that was "Skyfall" in terms of its story, villains and Bond girls.
