20:50 Madeleine actually mentions that she shot a man who entered her home as child in 'Spectre (2015)'. It's when they are on the train in the desert. Also in 'Spectre' Madeleine says she took the gun from under the sink, and in 'No Time to Die (2021)' that is what they show in the first sequence. The gun is shown when young Madeliene grabs something else from the cabinet, and after Safin proceeds to pursue young Madeliene, it pans to show the gun has been removed from its holder within the cabinet. I loved that we had all this detail previously told to us but it literally plays out the exact same. Cool stuff.
Indeed, the whole initial sequence is a playback on one of the traumas we are told Madeleine suffered as a child in "Spectre". In Spectre, we are shown that Madeleine is a closed individual, distrustful of everyone, launched into a world of despair by her upbringing, and in that sense she mirrors Bond . It's quite sad that "Spectre" is the weakest one of the Craig saga, if it had been much stronger it would have been a perfect background for "No Time To Die" and the whole 5-movie experience would have been truly masterful.
I didn't expect to agree with James on his rating, but Yes, this movie was so good. I loved it! A great emotional ending for my favorite Bond. This feels much closer to today, to normal, than the old "no stakes are real" version of the character. This is not just a movie, this is a 5 movie saga (Not perfect) where we see a character all the way from beginning to end. These movies are clearly meant to be binged together, with its lows and downs. And I want Ana de Armas back. Like damn, I'm pretty sure the real CIA doesn't have an asset that gooooood on their payroll.
Thank you, David, for mentioning "Her Majesty's Secret Service". My heart was already pounding when James Bond told Madeleine, "We have all the time in the world." On one hand, it made me feel secure that the filmmakers knew what they were doing and from then on, basically they could blaspheme as much as they wanted, I was on their side. On the other hand, that was a foreboding sentence in the Bond-verse. Of course, one of the lovebirds was going to die, like Tracy did. And then came the Louis Armstrong song, I was giddily jumping up and down in my seat. Another thing, guys, after Bond saw Mathilde, what Madeleine said was, "She's not yours." Not in the sense of, she was not his biological child, but more like, the daughter was HERS. She was her Mother and James Bond was the sperm donor at that point. From then on, he had to prove that he was good enough to be a real Father to be welcomed into the family. It was facetious writing, but I thought (most of?) the women (and surely some of the men) in the audience got it. I also thought that that was the Phoebe Waller-Bridge influence. That particular sentence had a Fleabag-y flair.
I saw this at the TCL Chinese Theater last night and Daniel Craig was there right behind me! He also got his Hollywood star planted on the boulevard. What an experience! Great movie.
How I understood it - the villain wanted everyone infected, so everyone would be like sheep and follow his orders, or die when they resist. That's what he tried explaining, people need oblivion from choices, basically need to be told what to do. Also he was selling this tech to others, so they would control their own "herds".
Think I’m the minority in saying that I didn’t feel the 2hr 43min runtime at all. Could’ve been longer and wouldn’t have minded. Sounds like that’s not a popular take lol also Safin had the plan to use Madeline to kill Blofeld which is why his DNA wasn’t in the initial code
@@apaxtoa I can see that. The whole movie is pretty divisive so I guess the viewpoints are all over the place. Some people felt it was long as hell lol I get it
I don't necessarily think Blofeld's gene sequence wasn't in the spray that hit Bond in Cuba, I think it's just that they had to show Bond touch Madeleine's wrist for the sake of the slightly slow/inattentive audience members.
"We Have All The Time In The World". The line and also the title of the song from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Sung by Louis Armstrong, written by veteran Bond composer John Barry, as was the main theme from OHMSS (also the only instrumental Bond theme).
I totally didn't just watch the whole thing at an impossible speed. Just want to say I love you guys, you're great to listen to. Just watched the original Dune trailer and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the new one. It's a lot to live up to.
Nitpick I had was the EMP was strong enough to make the bionic eye literally explode... and about five seconds later in the same shot we see Bond still using his wireless digital earpiece to talk to Q. And like, a wireless radio would be much, MUCH more susceptible to EMP because it has antenna that inherently are exposed to the electromagnetic spectrum.
The James Bond barrel situation is definitely the barrel of the enemy that’s about to shoot bond and James gets the shot off first and kills them which is why the blood falls on the screen side, or at least in the newer DC movies. Haven’t watched the older ones to verify this theory.
In the laboratory in the beginning they did that smallpox prank. So they handle viruses and develop robots in the same lab? I think it's plausible that Herakles was a virus orignally.
yea I agree about the ice scene. It bothered me too. when I saw it I was like if she weighs less than him how come she fell in, and how could be standing almost where she was, AND pick her up from the ice water?? (maybe his mask was magical? :-) I seen every Bond move and love them all, and seem them (most of) all them at the theater starting with "A View To A kill" Goldfinger is still my favorite.
watch the Corridor short with all the Bonds dying and the new actor replacing them. I think it makes more sense to do a codename inheritance cycle than have it be literally the same guy.
Ana de Armas as the BEST part of No Time To Die. I could watch a whole film of her kicking butt! So, Elton John said that the Die Another Day song was the worst James Bond song... Nope... This was SOOOO much worse...
I actually found the reveal with Bonds child quite unsurprising as bond says that she has his blue eyes and she tells him that she's not his daughter, but for me it seemed like he wasn't going to buy that he isn't the father and when I remember correctly in the end he even said that he never doubted that she is his daughter.
i Couldnt care about most of the craig bond films (to much bourne identity for me), but i loved this one it felt more bondian. It felt The nanobot thing annoyed me to, everything screamed organinc virus. and i agree i still dont understand why they needed to capture mareili. I dont care about a new bond with Nomi as bond, but would love to see a spinn of movie about paloma. That whole Cuba Scene was so awesome !
I will say I enjoyed the movie but it's like a 6 for me. There are so many scenes where someone stands out in the open and none of the 500 shots fired hit them, then a few seconds later cover is suddenly important again, annoyed the hell out of me. Bond can headshot 4 goons instantly but mosses the main villain with his first shot.....somehow I was also missing some big in-movement action scene. The closest we got was on the motorbike there but I would have loved more. Then there is the villain problem: Complete contradictions and suddenly at the end he infects Bond with the Nanobots for actually no reason other than "Fuck you, Bond" even though the only reason they were enemies to begin with was that the villain decided he wanted to be. Apparently this was more important than killing James Bond and doing whatever the hell his goal actually was. He could have just killed Bond with the Nanobots, but no. The customers also don't make sense. What do they think they are buying? If they understand that a weapon of this scale is in the hands of a third party, why aren't they nuking that third party? Why do they even appear at all? They just disappear into irrelevancy 5 minutes after being mentioned, I don't think we even saw the boats. Also the "No cure" thing was bullshit. Bond gets told there is no cure and just says "Ok, I guess I will doe now"? Not even an attempt? Dude ain't 80, he'll live to see technology develop further
@@Mystikus2 It's a good scene, it just feels like it belongs in a different franchise. Tbh I think that's true of a lot of the stuff they did in this film (and the whole run), like feeling like they need to serialise it all... For long term Bond fans, that's just jarring. And for all they were saying about how there's been a million episodic films, basically everything now is part of a narrative series of some sort. Like the episodic Bond formula was part of its identity.
Surprised by the ratings… I felt they couldn’t decide on the tone of the film: Spectre being destroyed was almost a joke. Add in the villain and Nomi one handing an automatic rifle and you’ve started going down Cheeseville again.
I think Bond subconsciously knew Mathilde is his daughter, he just couldn't acknowledge because he had to do his job. I mean, it doesnt take much for Bond to connect the dots based on the eyes, the approx age, and no sign of another man who could be the father.
To be fair with the staff member with the psych visit, that was rather polite. When you have to deal with psych patients all the time, you have to be able to vent privately with other staff otherwise you will have a nervous breakdown eventually.
I really like the new set but in this episode there's red digital noise that keeps shifting every second or so in the background and it's quite distracting
Safin is Dr No, although it’s specifically called out there is a scene where Safin is exiting the base with Matild and she bites him, the soldiers call Safin “Doctor” so I’m guessing it’s like a Easter egg rather than obviously stated.
When it occurs to you finally they decided to kill off bond last minute because nanobots "can't be removed," when they can simply develop more nanobots to disable the bad ones.
I'm surprised you guys didn't bring up the similarities between this movie and the Metal Gear Solid franchise where the nanobots injected/transferred to you allow you to specifically target and kill another human you come into contact with. Assuming you guys are fans of video games.
Some spoilers of the movie: Some things that I thought about it while listening to this episode... Do you guys think that maybe Daniel Craig's movies are actually their first try at a full arc James Bond? Even with Casino Royale bringing Judi Dench as M, there are a lot of new versions like Felix, Moneypenny, Q and Blofeld, I don't remember much reference about other movies, other than nods, like the DB5 car, but even that is not aknowledge as something already seen, so it's just to the viewer... Also, I took Madeline's line of "she's not your daughter", as a "you can't come here after 5 years and want to be a family...", and at the end she's not finally admitting she was his daughter, but that he could be her father after that
Mad Russian scientist guy: Tries to kill basically everyone in the world. Screenwriters: Meh, just take him in. Mad Russian scientist guy: Randomly says something racially offensive for no apparent reason. Screenwriters: That's it! Now that guy's gotta die! Also, how they try to subvert the 'norms' like killing off Bond & Blofeld... While having the most cliché looking villains EVER!
Middle of the movie definitely was dragging a bit buti didn't expect that ending. Damn. I kind of hate it. But after how they traded out M I guess it isn't too far fetched.
@@DizzyBusy I think it is more with in the past they just traded it off to a new character between movies and they didn't actually have anyone die on screen. But they did M that way in Skyfall and now they have kill James Bond this way. I was more of a fan of the idea that Bond can never die and he is always able to get out of the situation and that is the way it would always be. Also they gave this Bond way more emotion than any of the previous Bonds which really created some different aspects to the movie.
@@ludacrisginger I get your point, but I disagree with you, since I don't see it as a deterrent moving forward. The next James Bond might well go back to the episodic structure. Btw, when did you last rewatch Licence To Kill? In my mind, it used to be corny, and more focused on the villain than on James Bond. On a recent rewatch, I realised how dark Bond was in that film, and how emotional to the point of behaving irrationally at times. Yes, Craig's Bond was emotional, but Dalton's was no less so.
I was fully at about 5.5 / 10. Felt like the ending was there to distract from how meh the rest of the movie was. The lack of any motivation for the villain beyond killing off Spectre was really disappointing.
the kid twist is revealed before the credits, when the train doors are closing Madeline puts her hands on her stomach showing she knows she is pregnant. the annoying thing for me is that the name Hercules doesn't have anything to do with a virus, they just wanted a cool Greek name.
They may not have had Blofeld's DNA at that point. Remember he was under lock and key at that moment at MI6 and only a few people had access. He also was not as public as the rest of SPECTRE so his DNA would be more difficult to find.
I said "gross" out loud in the theater when they showed Vesper's grave stating 1983-2006 and I realized she was 23 years old. Maybe Bond's supposed to be way younger than Craig actually is but, I mean, come on.
I saw it last weekend (with a Bond-keen buddy of mine). I enjoyed the ride - and all the "old man" jokes (I'm 63) - and would give it a 7/10 if pressed but can't imagine watching it again: I'm not into fluffy 3-hour glorifications of consequence-free violence and got nothing out of the film that made me thing about it for 5 minutes after the credits rolled. I'll take any Nolan or Villeneuve film over a Bond flick anyday: I go to the theatre to have something intellectual and/or emotional reverberate in my head for days or weeks afterwards. The franchise could disappear and I'd be totally indifferent.
I haven't seen the movie so I will not watch/listen this podcast yet but please stop making video titles like this. I don't want to know that I'm supposed to be wowed by the ending. I watched the whole Free Guy thinking that "this is going to be 'saved by the ending'" and waiting when this saviour ending part will start. Now it's going to be the same with this movie. :(
Even I, who doesn't follow James Bond movies, knew it was the end of the Daniel Craig arc. And the title could have been about the ending of the movie.
@@basvanderwerff2725 Ok, but i think the viewcount reinforces my point. LTT has milliosn of viewers but this iss one of their lowerst perfroming channels. 1hr20min reviews/discussions is too long, 5- 20mins would be more popular
The end sucked lol I was rolling my eyes the entire sappy ending. And Rami Malek's villain was a big nothing burger, such an anticlimactic ending to his villain.

Yeah that was a great circle back to Spectre where and just shows how the Craig movies are all intertwined.
I love how the three of them are all technically using "notebooks"
Nice!

I think alot of people want higher pacing for a first or only viewing. For returning viewers i think your perspective will prevail.
@@apaxtoa I can see that. The whole movie is pretty divisive so I guess the viewpoints are all over the place. Some people felt it was long as hell lol I get it
I'm in the same camp as well. This did not feel like a three hour movie and was very well paced.
Yup, I thought the same. It was well paced imo.

You guys should absolutely do a podcast on the Oates studio short films directed by Neil Blomkamp or Love, Death, & Robots!
44:30 But I think Safin didnt plan that Bond will kill Chris Waltz, he didnt know that Bond would even be there.
In the laboratory in the beginning they did that smallpox prank. So they handle viruses and develop robots in the same lab? I think it's plausible that Herakles was a virus orignally.
1:04:00 he was a teenager in the intro scene, we see a picture of his family from that time later in the movie.
Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan was the same continuity. Daniel Craig's films are a rebooted timeline.

I'm really excited to see the squid game review. I really want to see it just totally torn apart for all it's plot holes and shitty writing choices.
Finally managed to get tickets last night which means i now get to watch the pod cast TODAY!
Safin's mask is drawn from traditional Japanese Noh masks, used in classical Japanese dance drama since the 15th century.
No one cares

First Bond movie that made me cry.

I noticed, they are several many small details just like that across the film. Might take a while to catch them all.
The most shocking thing I realized about this movie was the similarities between "No time to die" and "Metal gear solid 1" .
I watched the movie so I could listen/watch to this podcast.
L4yer cake is the one true bond origin story
Can't wait for the squid cast now, I didn't like the ending but others seemed to like it so I'm interested where they will fall
When it occurs to you finally they decided to kill off bond last minute because nanobots "can't be removed," when they can simply develop more nanobots to disable the bad ones.
this isnt a bond movie..... its a Nicholas Sparks movie where the main character is named bond and has spy elements

They should make the female characte the new 009 or something and make an spin off with ana de armas
Why did safin let the child go?🤔
I didn't understand why he wanted to keep the child in the first place
He's dressed the same, he has the same fit, they both have a really similar drip, they're basically the same.
Nice intro, but I'll come back after I watch it. ;O)-
One of the best Bond's imo.
the audio is kinda high pitched/harsh. or maybe its just me...
It wasn’t James Bond. More like a Jack Bauer good action movie but a sad/not Bond movie.

So are the nanobots.
you have to do a mission impossible movie after the bond movies.

Wait, what happened to carpool critics?
007 or James Bond can never be played by a female. Just don't pass it around. Just make another, stronger character for an actress to play.

The Russian Scientist damn near ruined the whole movie. Canadian humor must be… different.

They may not have had Blofeld's DNA at that point. Remember he was under lock and key at that moment at MI6 and only a few people had access. He also was not as public as the rest of SPECTRE so his DNA would be more difficult to find.
I said "gross" out loud in the theater when they showed Vesper's grave stating 1983-2006 and I realized she was 23 years old. Maybe Bond's supposed to be way younger than Craig actually is but, I mean, come on.
Me who hasn't watched it like
Casino Royale was their first reboot already. Now we have to reboot again!? No Time To Die will be remembered for the wrong reason.
I saw it last weekend (with a Bond-keen buddy of mine). I enjoyed the ride - and all the "old man" jokes (I'm 63) - and would give it a 7/10 if pressed but can't imagine watching it again: I'm not into fluffy 3-hour glorifications of consequence-free violence and got nothing out of the film that made me thing about it for 5 minutes after the credits rolled.
I'll take any Nolan or Villeneuve film over a Bond flick anyday: I go to the theatre to have something intellectual and/or emotional reverberate in my head for days or weeks afterwards. The franchise could disappear and I'd be totally indifferent.

@Joe HOLY SHIT
A very obvious example of trailer backlash causing re-writes . GOOD.
If you tell them you won't tolerate wokery, they'll take it out... nice to know.
I haven't seen the movie so I will not watch/listen this podcast yet but please stop making video titles like this. I don't want to know that I'm supposed to be wowed by the ending. I watched the whole Free Guy thinking that "this is going to be 'saved by the ending'" and waiting when this saviour ending part will start. Now it's going to be the same with this movie. :(
I feel ya
How did you guys managed to find the worst name possible to the podcast ?
Even I, who doesn't follow James Bond movies, knew it was the end of the Daniel Craig arc. And the title could have been about the ending of the movie.
Do you mean the name of this video or "They're Just Movies"? Because if the latter, well, I agree, I liked Carpool Critics much better.
I like the LMG team , but i think this channel should reduce the length of the video reviews, to like 15mins.
Maybe 20mins max if you wanna go deep.
then watch a channel that does shorter ones? they want to make deeper dives
@@basvanderwerff2725 Ok, but i think the viewcount reinforces my point. LTT has milliosn of viewers but this iss one of their lowerst perfroming channels. 1hr20min reviews/discussions is too long, 5- 20mins would be more popular
The end sucked lol I was rolling my eyes the entire sappy ending. And Rami Malek's villain was a big nothing burger, such an anticlimactic ending to his villain.
Pushing back Dune review to a week after ?

Totally pozzed film. Maybe the worst Bond movie ever. Kill the franchise now.
