I love the scene when Daniel finally does the classic Bond quick draw to the left. He one ups it, He drops the rifle and draws the pistol for the move. So smooth…
@@neptunusrex5195 Fiennes has at least five film performances better than his role as Voldemort. At least five: Schindler's List, The English Patient, A Bigger Splash, In Bruges, Grand Budapest Hotel, all better performances. Red Dragon, The End of the Affair, The Reader, Oscar and Lucinda, The Constant Gardner, Shine, might also be better than his Voldemort, which is really good. It's just generations of Potter fan's know him as Voldy. Of course Fiennes is legendary on stage.
The end killed me emotionally just bcuz of ending song, which i used to listen with my late father. He took me in the world of James Bond and spy world. Love you dad.
I totally understand what you mean. My late father introduced me to bond, he was a huge fan, and also my late step father shared the love for him. Watching the movies always felt like a hug from both. When they killed him off it was now everyone is truly gone.
That line "We have all the time in the world" at the end hit hard. It was the title of the theme to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," which they played at the end. That was the movie that broke a lot of viewers. You also hear the instrumental version in a few key places. The redo in your head is that he used his EMP watch to short out all the nano-bots in his blood. Just don't go back and listen to all the words in the explanation of how it worked.

The thing I loved about the Craig era was that you really had a sense that this version of Bond was ex special forces. A commander in the navy and a member of the special boat service. There was a biography on the casino Royale website that painted his whole background in this timeline leading up to his first two kills in Prague and Pakistan. He was an amazing bond for the post 9/11 era.
I'm 66 yrs old and I was 5 when the first James Bond movie came out. Of course guys my age think Sean Connery, the original, was the best 007 but Daniel Craig is a really close second. Love his acting and he was now the first 007 to Die. Pretty tragic event but a fitting way to go out.
I put Connery and Craig as my 1A and 1B and it maybe a bit unfair, but I give the tie to Connery simply bc he did it first. Which isn’t Craig’s fault, he didn’t have a say in when he was born. That said, this isn’t an either or case. If I feel like watching From Russia with Love one day and Casino Royale, the next I can. Don’t begrudge others if they like the other actors more, but Connery and Craig spoke to me the most.
@Vulcanerd to each their own . . I think grandpa Connery is highly overrated and his most movies are too silly to be taken seriously. At least moores films were self aware. The best bond for me is Brosnan who encapsulated the best of all bonds. But, objectively speaking Tim Dalton is the one true Ian flemings James bond
I'm 34 have been watching bond since I was 6,7 years old love Connery and Moore Dalton and Bronson were my Era bond especially when goldeneye came out on N64 played that game for hours. But the Craig bond movies added real life realism to the franchise and yes I cried at the end of this movie and I'm not ashamed of it so emotional to have a 60 year old character die off in such a meaningful way. So now I'm very curious of whats gonna come next.
@@THEFORT89. What do you think they’ll do? And what would you want to see? On one hand, it would maybe feel like a step back, to me, to go entirely back to a one off format. But, how do you top Craig’s arc with that ending? Maybe they could pull it off somehow? Maybe it’s less pain to go back to one offs where if one is poorly reduced, the next can simply launch into a different story since they won’t be connected?
Louis Armstrong sang All The Time In The World in On Her Majesty's Secret Service back in 1969 and we just heard him singing it again at the end of this film. Long before No Time To Die I, always found that song so heartbreaking and now even more so. Good bye, Mr. Bond.
As a hard-core bond fan... I love the Craig movies. If you binge them it works as a large story. It's not perfect, but nothing is. Whoever takes over as the new Bond has a problem.
Especially if they self identify as a gay transgender woman of color, lol. Could happen the way Hollywood has been going. They want to deconstruct and wreck everything that's heterosexual normative.
This film is so emotional. No other Bond film has this much drama. OHMSS had a sad ending with Tracy getting killed by Blofeld at the end, but the love story of NTTD crossed over two films, with the relationship between James and Madeleine lasting through Spectre and NTTD, and was well developed. But this last Bond film also has some of the best action scenes as well. Daniel Craig really sold it. It was an emotional experience watching you guys break down in tears. ❤
I went to the first showing at 11:15 am the day it was released because I didn't want any spoilers. My son and I sat there stunned in silence through the entire end credits.
I don’t know if you noticed this ladies but the last words “You have all the time in the world” was a call back/homage to the old Bond who said those same words to his wife after she was killed. The song is also there at the bitter end
I personally believed this film was a very good capstone to Daniel Craig's era of James Bond. There were so many homages to other past Bond films: The dots in the opening credits straight from Dr. No, the use of clocks and the trident like in the opening credits of On Her Majesty's Secret Service and whole bunch of other moments. The underwater shot in the opening credits similar to the likes of Skyfall and Thunderball. The use of poker like in Casino Royale and of course the use of the Aston Martin used in The Living Daylights.
I saw OHMSS way late bc I wasn’t ever interested in a one off Bond film (or at least just one performance by the actor) and bc, while it’s received some love recently, for the longest time, I recall it being pretty unpopular. I wound up watching it after QoS and, to my surprise, there’s a scene that’s completely lifted from OHMSS (though not the only one, but it was so obvious) that i didn’t recognize on my original viewings bc my watch order was out of whack. Caught me by surprise bc I’d been used to recognizing other homages
The end music from OHMSS (Louis Armstrong) was truly something else, mirroring Bond being truly crushed at the end when he lost Tracy. One of the saddest moments of all Bond films, crushing his every hope of a normal life. When that song came in No Time To Die, it was a clear signal that the movie would not end well..
I've laughed, I've cheered, I've ranted, but never during a Bond film have I cried like I did at the end of No Time To Die. Craig's Bond began as a stoic, emotionless bruiser, but he developed over the course of the next five movies as a nuanced character with a soul. Daniel Craig's final scene as Bond showed he was at peace, knowing his sacrifice was protecting the family he never envisioned he would have.
“The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time”. The quote is from a larger passage by American novelist Jack London, who is known for The Call of the Wild and The Sea Wolf. London said the words to a group of friends two months before his death, and the passage was published in the San Francisco Bulletin in 1916.
I recall you both watched 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' where George Lazenby as Bond got married. His last words as he holds his dead wife were "We have all the time in the world." The Louis Armstrong song used in that film was also the song heard at the close of this movie as Madeleine drives into the tunnel and the scene fades to black
@@kaijohnson5033 it fits the modern era in that WOKE Hollywood is determined to destroy or kill off every legacy character they can that most of us grew up with such as Disney killing off Han Solo and Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia before the actresses untimely death they’ve also destroyed the image of Indiana Jones and one of the biggest things was that James Bond never dies. 7 movies each for Sean Connery & Roger Moore, 1 for Lazenby, 2 for Timothy Dalton & 4 for Pierce Brosnan & James Bond never died once but they wanted to kill him off so that they can do a (🤢🤮gender or race swap🤢🤮) with the character going forward.
Now that you've seen No Time To Die, you may have seen that they built in (deliberately) many parallels to On Her Majesty's Secret Service - there's some parallel dialogue, the road Bond and Madeleine traveled on being very similar to the one from the end of OHMSS (though they deliberately flipped the frame so they are going right to left instead of left to right), and musically Hans Zimmer (who composed the Score the same year he won an Oscar for Dune's music) integrated "We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong from OHMSS into the score and it was even played during the closing credits (and was Craig's last line of dialogue as Bond). The release of this Bond was also unique - it was the very first 'major' film to officially be delayed by the COVID pandemic - Daniel Craig even hosted the last SNL before shutdown as part of promoting the film in March 2020 only for it to be delayed and not released until September 2021. (It took so long that Billie Eilish had released the theme song and won a Grammy for it almost a year before the film itself was released.) (Also, since Carly didn't recognize Ana de Armas, it may be worth pointing out that she came onto this Bond after she and Craig Co-Led the cast of the first Knives Out. She subsequently got a Best Actress nod for playing Marilyn Monroe in Netflix's Blonde.)
I was exactly like Cassie after watching this film. I remember being the last person in the cinema sat in utter disbelief, just hoping those immortal 4 words would still appear at the end of the credits. This movie broke me, I’m a massive James Bond fan having grown up with Roger Moore, revisiting Sean Connery and then growing older with Dalton and Brosnan, then to finally come to the end of the (fabulous) Daniel Craig era. I’ve got all the VHS tapes, dvd’s and blue rays as they came available including this disc but this is the one that’s still in its wrapper. After watching this I spent the next week moping around the house still in shock, despair and denial and then it hit me, I was in grief and no other film has given me that emotion - well maybe many years ago when I was a nipper and watched Bambi, but I digress…. Anyway, thank you both (and others) for the reaction videos, it makes me watch this movie again through others and start to be more critical about the movie. I can appreciate and accept how the writers wanted the trajectory of the story arc to go, and on the whole I think they did a really good job of bring bond into the present day but still be original and ground breaking. However, I don’t really like this Met-averse thing that studios bring into movies nowadays. It may not the best film - my favourite is On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, ( George Lazenby is a bit average), but Craig’s bond is one of the best. I will unwrap the disc and watch it again with a bottle of Martini! So thank you Bond, Daniel and Ladies, And to leave you with those 4 words - “ James Bond will return” X
@@boogycat20 You might say she broke through the glass window for young international actresses. 😂 Me saying young but she’s almost 40 which is still young but is older than most international stars. Shocking then to see her play a young adult in Blue Is The Warmest Color at 28 years of age.
For me, this is the definitive end of James Bond, as in even from Connery to Craig, they were all the same Bond. I would love to imagine, the story of James Bond is imagined through the eyes of his daughter after her mother tells her the story about her father who she never knew, and all his stories and different appearances exist cause she has no definitive image of him. What would have cemented it for me during the end credits with 'We Have All The Time In The World' playing in the background to have clips of EVERY Bond playing as a montage. Seeing Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Doltan and Brosnan with scenes from their films capturing the idea this series is all based on the minds eye of a daughter writing about her father and his life as 007.
@@peterwilkins7013 I know that. But it is still plausible that outside of different actors, even Craig's Bond could be interwoven with the other Bond's. As in between the Bond movies we got with Craig, especially after Skyfall, all those other missions could have taken place. However, with my idea, I would make THIS be the real life James Bond, and every other Bond (with the events and missions having taken place) is how his daughter imagined it when thinking about a man she never really knew and the things he could have done as a British secret service agent who had the code 007. Example, Vespa is Tracy, but her story is not told or remembered not according to how it actually happened, where Bond loved and lost someone who he grieved for, if you know where I am trying to come from. All the stories are about the same man, but they are told through second hand or exaggerated events. As in imagine his daughter decided to write a story about her father the secret service agent years later in her life based on the man she was told about but never knew.
@@gutz1981 Agreed, it almost feels like the older Bond are romanticized, action-pulp retellings of James Bond's adventures, while Craig's tenure at 007 is the grittier, more humanized tale of his life. They captured how dark and miserable the life of a "secret agent" (which really is an assassin for a country) really is, and in our day and age the audience is all in for more brutal and somber action movies, yet they still managed to weave a good story around it. Bravo to them.
You need to watch "Layer Cake" with Daniel Craig and Ben Whishaw (who plays Q) amongst other well known actors (Tom Hardy, Sienna Miller...). That film got Craig the Bond role.
When i saw the clip from the movie where he says "We Have All the Time in the World" and i heard the Louis Armstrong song was in the soundtrack before the film came out, i started having flashbacks to when i was a kid and my memories of Tracy bond and then as an adult with Vesper Lind, plus all the other unlucky girls in his life, and all i could say was "oh no not Madeline now". But i did not see the twist ending coming.
Daniel Craig will always be the Bond I grew up with. As a Londoner, Daniel Craig Bond films we’re always something everyone - from friends my age, colleagues at work, our parents / grandparents - would go and see in the movie theatre. Truly a four quadrant movie in the UK!
Seeing you guys react to "she has your eyes" is the exact reaction i had when i watched that scene. Being a Dad and my little girl being born at the kick off of the pandemic, really hits home
That conversation between Bond and Madelleine at the end is my favorite moment of the entire Bond series. After all the years of Bond being this man who was doing everything and anything he could for his country, in the Craig era he allowed himself to also be a caring, broken, vulnerable man. IMO it's the culmination of years of cold, and calous moves to keep the world safe, and this final moment exists solely for him. It's a beautiful, yet tremendously sad moment, and it makes me cry every time I see it. I'm sure some may disagree that that isn't "James Bond", but I'd argue it's the REAL James Bond, and we were only allowed a few small glimpses of it through the entire arc of his films. To James. 🍸
@@ebbhead20 Um did you recently suffer some sort of head trauma. You're typing seems to be filled with nonsensical gibberish. Always proof read anything before hitting reply.
I'm not sure if you got the connection but the song (and the line) "We Have All The Time in The World" is from the 1969 Bond movie "On her Majesty's Secret Service". Which, if you remember, starred Diana Rigg who married Bond.There are also a number of imagery from the 1969 movie in the opening sequence.
That was a great ending to the film with the callback to “we have all the time in the world” and closing with the Louis Armstrong version of the song. Outstanding.
@@batmandestroys1978 The much earlier film “0n her majesty’s secret service” ends with a married Bond now cradling his dying/dead bride (just killed by Blofeld). Bond says something like it’s okay “we have all the time in the world”. The Louis Armstrong version of the song plays out to and over the closing credits…same song version played at the end of this Bond movie.
This is the one Bond movie that had me on the edge of my seat and hit me emotionally when I first watched it. I've been asking for a movie that finally kills James Bond for years because seeing him survive so many impossible stuff so many times made me roll my eyes but when they finally did it it's in a movie where I don't want him to die.
I thought this was such a fitting ending for Craig‘s version of bond. A lot of people had a problem with him dying at the end but I loved it. It was gutsy and I thought it was a beautifully directed film. Personally I put it up there with skyfall and Casino Royale. But even if you don’t, I firmly believe it’s a really solid bond film just with a more tragic ending not unlike on her Majesty’s Secret Service.
He didn’t die, no proof, we all thought he died at the start of Skyfall, they even put his name on the memorial, he got off the island somehow and will save the UK again
Daniel Craig wanted this. Poor Cassie and Carlie. This was the reaction I was dreading for them. Lmao. The ending really divided people. There was clues the way they kept playing music from On Her Majestie's Secret Service which also has a sad ending.
You two are amazing. Thanks for all these wonderful reviews. It is so cool to see a beloved movie in the eyes of someone who see it for the first time. Love you Girls. All the best wishes for the future
I just love the 5 Craig-Bonds as a whole with their story, their cinematography, the character of Bond. The finale is outstanding, Hans Zimmer was the perfect choice for the soundtrack. A week ago I was in a concert "The Sound of James Bond", where they also ended with the emotional instrumental finale of No Time To Die, followed bei We have all the time. Having seen the movie, the music of the finale alone is enough for some tears.
The heart of the franchise will always be Jorge Lazerbazer. Lol. But Craig was pretty damn fantastic. Definitely checked all the boxes. RIP. What a great run.
Great reaction as always ladies! Please dont cry that much again over a movie,you actually brought a 51 year man to tears. (i know wtf) Much love from the UK!
50:06 At the very end of the credits, it does say “James Bond Will Return,” so despite the ending we so clearly saw, this isn’t the last James Bond film, not by far. It won’t be Daniel Craig, of course, but James Bond will definitely be back. So we can rejoice in that.
This was the first film I saw in 18 months at the cinema. First showing opening day, was definitely worth the wait. Seeing it with my partner the second time was worse, he audibly rolled his eyes at the magnets bit (he’s got a degree in the area) and I started crying so early on, I thought I might have spoiled the ending for the other patrons. Also the scientist who gets shot after taking Heracles out of the cold storage did make me do a double take, as he’s much more well known for being a comedian. As if someone from SNL or a late night host suddenly turned up in a Mission Impossible film 😂.
Hi there guys! I don't think you'll even read this but I loved this journey and reactions I went with you guys though the franchise. I couldn't wait for this episode. My step dad got me into this franchise. Told me I had all the time in the world. He also song me the same song when I was a kid. I passed that song to my daughter. Sadly he passed away a few days before I went to see this movie. So the ending of this movie and his death was really hard. I lost to amazing heros. Lucky like Bond I had a daughter with blue eyes. Taking this journey with you guys made me heal and smile at the franchise again. I absolutely love watching you guys react to all these movies. I love you guys keep making great content! Remember.. You have all the time in the world. Now I have to go sing that song to my daughter! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I actually think that was the entire point. The thing that made her character great was that she was unlike every stereotype of a Bond movie. She was in it briefly and gorgeous, but also didn’t have a fling with Bond or die. She was just awesome, succeeded and moved on. When Bond tells her, “you were fantastic,” there’s a genuine surprise there because she’s a character he doesn’t usually encounter.
First time I saw this movie I didn't know what was going to happen at the end, but the moment I heard We Have All The Time In The World when they're blissfully happy together at the start, my heart dropped and the rest of the film I was just waiting for tragedy. One of the most visceral responses I've had to a seemingly innocuous piece of background music. I still don't feel great about the ending, although if you acknowledge this as a 'last' movie, instead of insisting that every film needs to just be another middle chapter in a never-ending Bond serial, I think they did it about as well as could be hoped. (And I don't know why I was THAT surprised, considering Casino Royale showed him only just getting his 00-status, so was clearly not a continuation from the previous canon...) I'll be interested to see what comes next, and whether I feel connected to the next Bond in the same way.
Each Bond had their own slant to it. Sean Connery was the bachelor / playboy. Roger Moore was the classic English Gentleman. Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan played him as cocky, sly. Daniel Craig’s is the most believable and realistic portrayal of intelligence agents.
As someone who's relative was an intelligence agent for MI5 that is funny. They mostly collect information and there is a lot of paperwork (or computer work). It is really quite boring with only a few exciting "in the field" assignments.
@kernowarty I met a guy at a friends wedding who was military intelligence. He was what they call “agent team activities”. Majority of assignments they were embedded with frontline units and would gather intel as they advanced. Sorta like recon team but focused more on intel gathering than scouting enemy. He also did a lot of solo assignments as well, meeting contacts, playing different factions, etc. Daniel Craig’s portrayal of Bond is very similar to the retired military intelligence agent I met at my friends wedding. He was active from 1984-2004. Been everywhere, most especially in Somalia in 93 when black hawk down happened, then in Kosovo, then Afghanistan, then some analyst work stateside, then discharged. He works for some treehugger green energy thinktank now…Go figure 🤷🏻♂️😂
Just finished watching your guys reactions to all the Craig movies. It's so fun to watch others go through that journey, and how the ending is so impactful. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
This is my third favorite Daniel Craig Bond film behind Casino Royale and Skyfalll. It's very middle of the road, but has some very good action scenes and an incredible ending.
Once again, in for the jump scare! 😂 you never disappoint! My wife always jumps and then scolds me for not warning her. That’s especially funny when I’ve never seen the movie we’re watching… You can totally go back and fill in the blanks, there are loads of Bond movies left!
So glad to finally see the final reaction, I'm so happy to have watched this bond series with yall. It is one of my favorite film franchises for sure. Like Carly said, it truly was the end of an era. Heartbreaking movie at the end, but overall, a fantastic film
I love when they are playing "WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD" at the end as a direct nod to "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE" - the Bond-movie where his wife Tracy Bond was killed by Bloefeld.
I haven't been here live before I think!! I came in at the end and was glad to be able to see your reaction to the really emotional end. That's nice. Thanks Popcorn Girls! You've entertained me a lot in the past.
I think that Daniel Craig was one of the best Bonds ever. But the films are supposed to be about the adventures of a super spy, not a tragic family romance. However, I give props to how much Craig made you want Bond to have a happy life, and how well he gave Bond a more human dimension.
*That subplot is the equivalent to "In Her Majesty's Secret Service" where Bond got married then lost her to his enemies.* This is a fitting end to the story of James Bond.
@@hulkhatepunybanner This is your second reply arrogantly dismissive of the Bond franchise. I honestly don't know who hurt you all those years ago but it wasn't James Bond. There are "professional" people who may help with any unresolved issues that someone might be holding onto.

It took me a minute to appreciate Craig as Bond because of his performance 4 years earlier in "The Road to Perdition". It also stars Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law and Stanley Tucci and is ripe for a reaction. I think you'll enjoy it.
I did cry at the end, ladies. It may not be a great film, but after spending so much time with Craig's Bond, and becoming intimately familiar with his character, I did get attached to him. Unrelated: Ana de Armas was fantastic! So far, she has rocked every role I've seen her in!
I was initially a bit angry that Bond didn't get a happy ending, but after a while, it makes sense. Bond isn't Captain America. He doesn't get the happy ending.
Same with me, brother. I was in sixth grade when his first bond film came out. Keeping up with Bond's journey as I was on my own journey in life created an unexpectedly strong attachment. So, watching him die as soon he's finally obtained what he had been really looking for and needing for so long, a family, was truly heart-wrenching. I couldn't hold back the tears during that scene as the explosions take him away. Thankfully my girlfriend was supportive, so it felt good to have that level of emotional closure at the end of Daniel Craig's adventures as James Bond.
I don't know if you guys generally stick around for the credits for these movies, but at the end of the credits of every bond movie the line "James Bond will return" is written. This movie was no exception. Despite the fact that he died in the movie, the credits confirmed that there will be more Bond moving forward.
Bond changes with the times that has always been evident from Connery to Lazenby to Moore to Dalton to Pierce and now Daniel. I never cared for continuity in these films so another new Bond being it's own thing is exciting.
A couple of cute Easter egg things I learned about the movie: The giant ramp chase with the motorbike in Italy, the production crew soaked the ground in literal thousands of liters of Coke to get the bike to stick to the surface and avoid the ancient cobblestones from breaking, which worked like a charm. In the movie several times and two times at the end they say ‘we have all the time in the world’ which was the biggest song from ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ and they play it in the end credits (a cool nod I think to that movie). It’s also kinda odd and weird that they wanted to release the film initially (started to market it in like 2018/2019) in late 2020, but you know a thing happened in the world that has some comparisons to the film’s ‘weapon’.
@@JDoe-gf5oz *He didn't believe her. Blofeld was got into his mind.* Telling him that she was pregnant would've made him believe she was using it as a means to lower his guard.
@@hulkhatepunybanner Why do it care? This is your third reply condescendingly disparaging the Bond franchise. What's your biggest accomplishment? Besides the day when the kindergarten teacher gave everyone who showed up a participation ribbon.
Seen this the day it came out. Super nostalgic and emotional also yet the villains bio nano tech is super scary. Like it could be happing right now and not ever even know it till it’s too late. I'm 34 have been watching bond since I was 6,7 years old love Connery and Moore Dalton and Bronson were my Era bond especially when goldeneye came out on N64 played that game for hours.

Was so emotional to have a 60 year old character die off in such a meaningful way. So now I'm very curious of whats gonna come next.
I remember sat in the cinema and there was utter silence at the ending. No one got up straight away to leave, never seen that before. That was the power of this film and killing off an icon.
Can’t for the rest of the reactions!!! I listen to the score from this movie all the time, best score of all time!!!! Saw the 3rd one in theaters 3 times when I was 5 years old in 2003, hooked ever since!
This was an extremely beautiful and fitting send off for Craig's Bond. Gave everything always, even to the very end. Craig managed to really humanize Bond in a way no one else did. They all brought something unique to the character, but Craig brought simple humanity. The theater was extremely quiet as Bond said goodbye to Madeline and looked up at the missiles. Extremely big shoes to fill, but they haven't gone wrong yet.
I don't think it was a fitting send off at all. Bond doesn't die. Actors change, and the character continues, so it makes no sense at all, given the precedent set over 60 years, for this film to end in the way that it did. The last three films have commercially been the most successful of the entire franchise. I have to say it feels to me like the Bond version of Bud Light's recent marketing choices.
They absolutely have gone wrong, constantly. This was a fake travesty, not a Bond-film. Bond-films were written by Ian Fleming, this was written and perverted by a group of money-grubbing, political extremist, culturally appropriating evil people.
I remember going to see this film in the theatres. It was beautiful. Everyone laughed, everyone cried. Connery will always be first, but Craig is second. And this era, was nothing short of excellence. Goodbye old friend. You'll be missed.
When James had nothing to live for, he couldn't seem to die. But he found something to live for, and he died to protect it. It's a beautiful arc, from the cynical coldness of Bond in Casino Royale through to his end. Daniel Craig defined the character for a generation. And his version of Bond will certainly be missed
I loved your journey through the Daniel Craig Bond films. It was already sad seeing Felix die, but when Bond dies was truly heartbreaking. As sad as this was, one thing I loved about No Time To Die were the references to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Some of the music, most especially the Louis Armstrong song We Have All The Time In The World, and Bond at the end telling Madeleine that she and Mathilde have all the time in the world. I actually have a book that was published after No Time To Die came out; it is called Being Bond and is a retrospective look at Daniel Craig's time as Bond. It is an amazing book. Fifteen years and five films. Thank you, Daniel Craig.
It is the first Bond-run with a definitive beginning and ending. It is bold, but you gotta give people something they haven't seen before, and not just hash the same old stuff over, and over.
Thanks for this 007 watchalong journey with you two! To finish off the spy flicks, I hope you try Henry Cavill's recent in Man from UNCLE and/or Val Kilmer's fun cheesy 1997's The Saint. Bit of a missed opportunity at the end there... when they kept 'repeating' "to James", I thought, ah that's nice, one for every James there was, but alas, nah :(
Such a great film. Bond couldn't save Vesper, M or Felix but he saved his family, he finally was able to save someone he love, and that scene with that score is my far one of my favorite moments in the franchise. I also noticed how the chemistry between Daniel and Léa improved compared to the previous film, mostly in their more intimate moments. What I had mixed feelings are for example the way they treated the 007 code. No, 007 isn't just a number, 00 means that the agent has license to kill and 7 is the number of the agent James Bond, it's not a number that you give to anyone like they suggested here. What lead us to Bond himself. This film made him very...human ? Bond feels very vulnerable, he has his weaknesses, he feels even a little soft at times. And yeah, it's cohesive with the arc he had in the previous films and make him reliable, but not so much like the character we know. Not that this is a bad thing, but I miss the Casino Royale's Bond you know ? But in the end, Daniel had a noble and worthy ending for the character and I think for this sequence of films is what really matters. PS: Not enough Ana De Armas
True Bond fans pretend that the Craig era ended with the horrible "Spectre." This movie was such a woke abomination and a slap in the face to Bond fans, especially those who were there from the beginning in 1961. Bond NEVER dies and they were trigger happy with offing other characters. Bond doesn't have kids or family-friendly. He isn't soft. Movie didn't make sense at all. Hell, "Quantum of Solace" was better than this and we had to wait 6 years for this abomination.
@@kelseyk530 I couldn't have said it better myself. As a Bond fan who grew up with the franchise, this film was a disgrace. I can only imagine that Danny Boyle left because he didn't want to be part of this woke direction they decided on. Craig, Broccoli, and Wilson should be ashamed of themselves!
@@kelseyk530 I would agree an argue even TRUER Bond fans would say Craig's run ended and the end of Quantum of Solace, when M (Judy Dench) says, "Bond, we need you back." and Bond replies, "I never left." -..boom! roll end credits. Instead they made him an old-looking, washed up, self-loathing, uninspiring (let me repeat that.. UNinspiring) drunk in the HIGHLY overrated Skyfall -a movie that had a very weak plot and horrible character development and writing, but nobody notices that because of all the shiny things they threw in to distract the masses. It was definitely a move to dismantle a single-man leading protagonist of good vs. evil.. and just dilute it all before our eyes. The producers behind that movement ARE the greatest real-life Bond villain. I know it.
The movie is so slow and tried so hard to be dramatic it just doesn't work and the ending is dumb. Is fine to kill Bond but give him something less pathetic ffs this movie completely emasculated the character.
I unabashedly love this film. There are other go-for-broke Bond films that come off more as failed experiments to me - OHMSS and Licence to Kill, for instance - but this one really worked for me. And Craig and Seydoux play it with such conviction too. Just beautiful.
It's especially impressive that it salvages so many elements that didn't work in Spectre, notably Seydoux's character (I was more invested in their relationship in the opening minutes of this than I was all through Spectre). I also felt it made the best of a bad situation in how it used Blofeld. I think some credit is probably due to Phoebe Waller Bridge, a very good screenwriter whose voice I can hear in a lot of the dialogue (notably the scene with Bond and M in his office) and the generally stronger female characters and emotional scenes.
In reference to your claim that Rami Malek is too young to be the masked man from the beginning: Safin would have been about 18ish when he killed Madeleine's mother, while Madeleine is like 13 or 14 at the time. So there's only about four or five years difference in their age.
I actually don't mind this film, enjoyed it for the most part but it did feel much more like a Metal Gear Solid film, a very beloved video game franchise. The whole nanobots biological weapon idea seems heavily inspired by the plot of 1998's Metal Gear Solid featuring FOXDIE a virus that causes enemies to go into cardiac arrest when they touch it but only select individuals. FOXDIE is basically the same as Heracles with both virus being revealed to be created by the "good guys" in both Metal Gear and No Time to Die and the fact both main characters unknowingly been carrying the virus leading to the deaths of people they come into contact with. So on that I do think it's a much better Metal Gear Solid film than a James Bond film. So that's really why I didn't mind this film as to me its the closet we've ever came to a MGS movie. Edit: Also these things aren't unique to Metal Gear Solid but the overall plot of this film just reminded me heavily of Metal Gear Solid.
Oh dear, Cassie was already so wrecked nerve-wise after the pre-credits...from then on I knew this was gonna be a hard one...! It's probably the Bond movie with the most jump scares ever...and so many subtle and not-so subtle callbacks to previous movies...the way he kills Ash by kicking the Land Rover over on top of him is a variation of Moore's Bond revenge killing Locque in " For Your Eyes Only (which you skipped) by kicking his dangling car over a cliff...probably the most cold blooded kill in the Moore era. Some scenes in here are truly reminiscent of a horror movie, it's just full of stuff you've never seen in a Bond movie before...and the end still gets me, I've watched the movie 3 times and maybe 5-6 reaction vids on YT and I still shed tears at the end...The theatre went totally quiet except for quiet sobbing in every row of seats! Ana de Armas was phenomenal in this one, she deserved much, much more screen time! What do you guys think, would you want to react to the "leftover" Bond movies? There are still 11 classic ones plus one unofficial one for you to enjoy...som great ones and some...well...not so...but still! 😆
James Bond will return. The Bond producers said the next film will be a "reinvention" of the Bond series. There's a lot of talk about Christopher Nolan directing the next one. He's a huge Bond fan and references Bond films in so many of his own films. He also said in an interview in 2017 that he will direct the next one if it's a "reinvention". So both the producers and Nolan seem to be on the same page.
Craig was a reinvention of the series. There's literally nothing they can do to reinvent it again unless they completely subvert the character as even the awful final movie didn't.
Omg, that would be something.. I think Craigs movies have been a great take on the series, even though I didn't like that he had to die in the end. Just need to find the right cast. I hope they stay true to the original books and don't become too political
@@JDoe-gf5oz Just reporting what they said. I'd say there is a lot more that can be done with the character than currently is. And without destroying the integrity of Bond.
@@LG-bi1sr Yep I'm with ya. What I appreciate about the Craig films is the producers didn't follow the formula as tightly as the older films. And I think this is the only way forward for Bond. Most people are aware of the murky world of espionage now, so going back to drawing clear lines between good and bad isn't going to work anymore.
I'd just as soon enjoy a return to brosnan era vibes. Crazy action with some lightness and humor. Not campy, mind you, but seeing bond smile and quip and enjoy himself a bit more
@@JDoe-gf5oz What you're acting like you that is canon for every Bond? lol Every Bond has their own canon, they sometimes borrow each others history for narrative porposes but that is very rare.
@@hoya1178Where are you getting that? The previous Bonds didn't have their own personal canon; they were the same character just played by different actors.
A way Bond to lived here, is in ''You Only Live Twice'' novel. Bond doesn't know that has a child from Kissy, and is considered dead by MI6. They do his obituary here too, but he is not dead, he has amnesia.
I remember the hype I felt waiting for this movie as it was continually delayed. Then it finally came out. I’ve watched this movie once. That was in the theatre while I ugly cried at the end. Really traumatized me because Bond and especially Craig’s Bond has a special place in my heart since I’ve grown up with him in the role. I remember liking this first part of the film a lot but the second half didn’t work for me unfortunately.
3:48 That’s a Noh mask used in Japanese Noh theatre. The name sounding similar to Dr. No actually made some fans speculating that Safin would turn out to be Dr. No, just like Oberhauser turned out to be Blofeld. That ended up not being the case, however.
this film was a mini homage to on her majesty's secret service. the music in the end all the time in the world and a whole host of other things. this was a good movie except for the villain safin which I think could have been a bit better. but other than all the nods and goodbye to daniel craig was top tier. and even though I was not a daniel craig fan at the beginning but I still teared up at the ending
the villian is definitely the weak link, and not because of Rami Malek either, he's definitely a good actor, its simply that his story feels kind of tacked on at the end with no build up when they should have just kept it between bond and spectre for a full circle
I like the little call back in the final fight in the Bunker where Bond appears at the end of a tunnel, spins, crouches and fires- referring back to t he opening sequence of every film where you see Bond down the rifled barrel of a gun before he spins and shoots and blood drips down the screen..
I love the scene when Daniel finally does the classic Bond quick draw to the left. He one ups it, He drops the rifle and draws the pistol for the move. So smooth…
I love also how M's character is developing. Ralph Fiennes has proved himself a very worthy successor to Judi Dench.
It’s funny that Voldemort took over as M 😅
Yes. I imagine they will go with a completely different cast for the next film though
@@neptunusrex5195 Fiennes has at least five film performances better than his role as Voldemort. At least five: Schindler's List, The English Patient, A Bigger Splash, In Bruges, Grand Budapest Hotel, all better performances. Red Dragon, The End of the Affair, The Reader, Oscar and Lucinda, The Constant Gardner, Shine, might also be better than his Voldemort, which is really good. It's just generations of Potter fan's know him as Voldy. Of course Fiennes is legendary on stage.

The end killed me emotionally just bcuz of ending song, which i used to listen with my late father. He took me in the world of James Bond and spy world. Love you dad.
Cheers to you, rest in peace to your father.
The end song is fantastic because an Iconic Bond song even though it was never a title song
I totally understand what you mean. My late father introduced me to bond, he was a huge fan, and also my late step father shared the love for him. Watching the movies always felt like a hug from both. When they killed him off it was now everyone is truly gone.
That line "We have all the time in the world" at the end hit hard. It was the title of the theme to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," which they played at the end. That was the movie that broke a lot of viewers. You also hear the instrumental version in a few key places.
The redo in your head is that he used his EMP watch to short out all the nano-bots in his blood. Just don't go back and listen to all the words in the explanation of how it worked.
"We have all the time in the world" is also what Bond told the policeman who came after Tracy was shot.
Which is done precisely because this film and Spectre are basically a retelling of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
"You have all the time in the world" What's wrong with people these days 🙄
Despite the difficult ending, you two were funnier than ever. Carly: "I don't love the choking" Cassie: "Love it".

The thing I loved about the Craig era was that you really had a sense that this version of Bond was ex special forces. A commander in the navy and a member of the special boat service. There was a biography on the casino Royale website that painted his whole background in this timeline leading up to his first two kills in Prague and Pakistan. He was an amazing bond for the post 9/11 era.
True... Very True
The other Felix didn't die. His wife was killed. Felix just disagreed with something that ate him 😮

In the novel, "Live and Let Die" Mr. Big/Kananga fed Felix to his pet sharks. After that Felix had artificial limbs.
The Craig movies are not linked to any of the other actors Bond movies, Craig's Bond is a five part contained seperate story.
At least they gave her a nice honeymoooooooon
I'm 66 yrs old and I was 5 when the first James Bond movie came out. Of course guys my age think Sean Connery, the original, was the best 007 but Daniel Craig is a really close second. Love his acting and he was now the first 007 to Die. Pretty tragic event but a fitting way to go out.
I put Connery and Craig as my 1A and 1B and it maybe a bit unfair, but I give the tie to Connery simply bc he did it first. Which isn’t Craig’s fault, he didn’t have a say in when he was born. That said, this isn’t an either or case. If I feel like watching From Russia with Love one day and Casino Royale, the next I can.
Don’t begrudge others if they like the other actors more, but Connery and Craig spoke to me the most.
@Vulcanerd to each their own . . I think grandpa Connery is highly overrated and his most movies are too silly to be taken seriously.
At least moores films were self aware.
The best bond for me is Brosnan who encapsulated the best of all bonds.
But, objectively speaking Tim Dalton is the one true Ian flemings James bond
I'm 34 have been watching bond since I was 6,7 years old love Connery and Moore Dalton and Bronson were my Era bond especially when goldeneye came out on N64 played that game for hours. But the Craig bond movies added real life realism to the franchise and yes I cried at the end of this movie and I'm not ashamed of it so emotional to have a 60 year old character die off in such a meaningful way. So now I'm very curious of whats gonna come next.
@@THEFORT89. What do you think they’ll do? And what would you want to see? On one hand, it would maybe feel like a step back, to me, to go entirely back to a one off format. But, how do you top Craig’s arc with that ending?
Maybe they could pull it off somehow? Maybe it’s less pain to go back to one offs where if one is poorly reduced, the next can simply launch into a different story since they won’t be connected?
Well, technically, Bond was first portrayed on screen by American actor Barry Nelson, in a 1954 "Climax!" (TV show) adaptation of "Casino Royale".
Louis Armstrong sang All The Time In The World in On Her Majesty's Secret Service back in 1969 and we just heard him singing it again at the end of this film. Long before No Time To Die I, always found that song so heartbreaking and now even more so. Good bye, Mr. Bond.
As a hard-core bond fan... I love the Craig movies. If you binge them it works as a large story. It's not perfect, but nothing is. Whoever takes over as the new Bond has a problem.
Especially if they self identify as a gay transgender woman of color, lol. Could happen the way Hollywood has been going. They want to deconstruct and wreck everything that's heterosexual normative.
I don’t think so. Bond was always successful as episodic so they’ll have no issue going back to that.
Whatever takes over as Bond, I have a feeling it probably won't reflect the past 50 years
That is true
More of big shoes to fill vs a problem
This film is so emotional. No other Bond film has this much drama. OHMSS had a sad ending with Tracy getting killed by Blofeld at the end, but the love story of NTTD crossed over two films, with the relationship between James and Madeleine lasting through Spectre and NTTD, and was well developed. But this last Bond film also has some of the best action scenes as well. Daniel Craig really sold it. It was an emotional experience watching you guys break down in tears. ❤
Maybe they haven't seen that one? It's the bookend to this film.
@@jamesnorman4035they have seen it, and I think they mention it in this reaction. They hated that ending in OHMSS. Still one of my favorites.
"they killed James Bond...are they even allowed?" - Best line ever! Great film.
I went to the first showing at 11:15 am the day it was released because I didn't want any spoilers. My son and I sat there stunned in silence through the entire end credits.
I don’t know if you noticed this ladies but the last words “You have all the time in the world” was a call back/homage to the old Bond who said those same words to his wife after she was killed. The song is also there at the bitter end
James also said ("We") to her at the beginning of this movie.
I personally believed this film was a very good capstone to Daniel Craig's era of James Bond. There were so many homages to other past Bond films: The dots in the opening credits straight from Dr. No, the use of clocks and the trident like in the opening credits of On Her Majesty's Secret Service and whole bunch of other moments. The underwater shot in the opening credits similar to the likes of Skyfall and Thunderball. The use of poker like in Casino Royale and of course the use of the Aston Martin used in The Living Daylights.
I saw OHMSS way late bc I wasn’t ever interested in a one off Bond film (or at least just one performance by the actor) and bc, while it’s received some love recently, for the longest time, I recall it being pretty unpopular.
I wound up watching it after QoS and, to my surprise, there’s a scene that’s completely lifted from OHMSS (though not the only one, but it was so obvious) that i didn’t recognize on my original viewings bc my watch order was out of whack. Caught me by surprise bc I’d been used to recognizing other homages
The end music from OHMSS (Louis Armstrong) was truly something else, mirroring Bond being truly crushed at the end when he lost Tracy. One of the saddest moments of all Bond films, crushing his every hope of a normal life. When that song came in No Time To Die, it was a clear signal that the movie would not end well..
I’m so happy that Cassie sees the merit in the different Bonds
On the other hand, Sean Connery could have easily done all of them.
This was the first movie I saw in the theater post-covid craziness… Absolutely wrecked me emotionally. I loved the Daniel Craig 007 era. What a ride.
I've laughed, I've cheered, I've ranted, but never during a Bond film have I cried like I did at the end of No Time To Die. Craig's Bond began as a stoic, emotionless bruiser, but he developed over the course of the next five movies as a nuanced character with a soul. Daniel Craig's final scene as Bond showed he was at peace, knowing his sacrifice was protecting the family he never envisioned he would have.
Daniel Craig was outstanding. I loved these films.
daniel was good sean and timothy were better- even roger moore had his moments
“The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time”.
The quote is from a larger passage by American novelist Jack London, who is known for The Call of the Wild and The Sea Wolf. London said the words to a group of friends two months before his death, and the passage was published in the San Francisco Bulletin in 1916.
I recall you both watched 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' where George Lazenby as Bond got married. His last words as he holds his dead wife were "We have all the time in the world." The Louis Armstrong song used in that film was also the song heard at the close of this movie as Madeleine drives into the tunnel and the scene fades to black
The Daniel Craig era 2006-2021. He is the only actor who’s rendition of Bond was killed off.
He's also the bond that got a true final film. Everyone before him, the adventures were episodic so they never really got a true send-off.
Fits our modern era. Bond was too good for it.
Today's inflation would have killed him.
@@kaijohnson5033 it fits the modern era in that WOKE Hollywood is determined to destroy or kill off every legacy character they can that most of us grew up with such as Disney killing off Han Solo and Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia before the actresses untimely death they’ve also destroyed the image of Indiana Jones and one of the biggest things was that James Bond never dies. 7 movies each for Sean Connery & Roger Moore, 1 for Lazenby, 2 for Timothy Dalton & 4 for Pierce Brosnan & James Bond never died once but they wanted to kill him off so that they can do a (🤢🤮gender or race swap🤢🤮) with the character going forward.
@@jamesrippy1161calm down.
Now that you've seen No Time To Die, you may have seen that they built in (deliberately) many parallels to On Her Majesty's Secret Service - there's some parallel dialogue, the road Bond and Madeleine traveled on being very similar to the one from the end of OHMSS (though they deliberately flipped the frame so they are going right to left instead of left to right), and musically Hans Zimmer (who composed the Score the same year he won an Oscar for Dune's music) integrated "We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong from OHMSS into the score and it was even played during the closing credits (and was Craig's last line of dialogue as Bond).
The release of this Bond was also unique - it was the very first 'major' film to officially be delayed by the COVID pandemic - Daniel Craig even hosted the last SNL before shutdown as part of promoting the film in March 2020 only for it to be delayed and not released until September 2021. (It took so long that Billie Eilish had released the theme song and won a Grammy for it almost a year before the film itself was released.)
(Also, since Carly didn't recognize Ana de Armas, it may be worth pointing out that she came onto this Bond after she and Craig Co-Led the cast of the first Knives Out. She subsequently got a Best Actress nod for playing Marilyn Monroe in Netflix's Blonde.)
I was exactly like Cassie after watching this film. I remember being the last person in the cinema sat in utter disbelief, just hoping those immortal 4 words would still appear at the end of the credits.
This movie broke me, I’m a massive James Bond fan having grown up with Roger Moore, revisiting Sean Connery and then growing older with Dalton and Brosnan, then to finally come to the end of the (fabulous) Daniel Craig era. I’ve got all the VHS tapes, dvd’s and blue rays as they came available including this disc but this is the one that’s still in its wrapper. After watching this I spent the next week moping around the house still in shock, despair and denial and then it hit me, I was in grief and no other film has given me that emotion - well maybe many years ago when I was a nipper and watched Bambi, but I digress….
Anyway, thank you both (and others) for the reaction videos, it makes me watch this movie again through others and start to be more critical about the movie. I can appreciate and accept how the writers wanted the trajectory of the story arc to go, and on the whole I think they did a really good job of bring bond into the present day but still be original and ground breaking. However, I don’t really like this Met-averse thing that studios bring into movies nowadays. It may not the best film - my favourite is On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, ( George Lazenby is a bit average), but Craig’s bond is one of the best. I will unwrap the disc and watch it again with a bottle of Martini!
So thank you Bond, Daniel and Ladies,
And to leave you with those 4 words - “ James Bond will return”

@aTofuJunkie 🤣 Yeah. 28, wow! Time flies. I haven't watched Blue is the Warmest Colour but have always heard it's good. Gonna add it to my list.
For me, this is the definitive end of James Bond, as in even from Connery to Craig, they were all the same Bond. I would love to imagine, the story of James Bond is imagined through the eyes of his daughter after her mother tells her the story about her father who she never knew, and all his stories and different appearances exist cause she has no definitive image of him. What would have cemented it for me during the end credits with 'We Have All The Time In The World' playing in the background to have clips of EVERY Bond playing as a montage. Seeing Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Doltan and Brosnan with scenes from their films capturing the idea this series is all based on the minds eye of a daughter writing about her father and his life as 007.
Craig wasn't a continuation of the other Bonds. It's a self contained set of films.
@@peterwilkins7013 I know that. But it is still plausible that outside of different actors, even Craig's Bond could be interwoven with the other Bond's. As in between the Bond movies we got with Craig, especially after Skyfall, all those other missions could have taken place. However, with my idea, I would make THIS be the real life James Bond, and every other Bond (with the events and missions having taken place) is how his daughter imagined it when thinking about a man she never really knew and the things he could have done as a British secret service agent who had the code 007. Example, Vespa is Tracy, but her story is not told or remembered not according to how it actually happened, where Bond loved and lost someone who he grieved for, if you know where I am trying to come from. All the stories are about the same man, but they are told through second hand or exaggerated events. As in imagine his daughter decided to write a story about her father the secret service agent years later in her life based on the man she was told about but never knew.
@@gutz1981 Agreed, it almost feels like the older Bond are romanticized, action-pulp retellings of James Bond's adventures, while Craig's tenure at 007 is the grittier, more humanized tale of his life. They captured how dark and miserable the life of a "secret agent" (which really is an assassin for a country) really is, and in our day and age the audience is all in for more brutal and somber action movies, yet they still managed to weave a good story around it. Bravo to them.
@@gutz1981 interesting concept definitely
@@gutz1981no bro they'll just reboot the franchise again. It's pretty simple.
You need to watch "Layer Cake" with Daniel Craig and Ben Whishaw (who plays Q) amongst other well known actors (Tom Hardy, Sienna Miller...). That film got Craig the Bond role.
Layer Cake is so good!
Yeah, it's really good. Haven't watched it in years and might catch up on it one day soon.
When i saw the clip from the movie where he says "We Have All the Time in the World" and i heard the Louis Armstrong song was in the soundtrack before the film came out, i started having flashbacks to when i was a kid and my memories of Tracy bond and then as an adult with Vesper Lind, plus all the other unlucky girls in his life, and all i could say was "oh no not Madeline now". But i did not see the twist ending coming.
Daniel Craig will always be the Bond I grew up with. As a Londoner, Daniel Craig Bond films we’re always something everyone - from friends my age, colleagues at work, our parents / grandparents - would go and see in the movie theatre. Truly a four quadrant movie in the UK!
I listen to the Ricky Gervaise XFM shows with Steve and Karl every night to go to bed. I wish I was where you are. ❤
Seeing you guys react to "she has your eyes" is the exact reaction i had when i watched that scene. Being a Dad and my little girl being born at the kick off of the pandemic, really hits home
That conversation between Bond and Madelleine at the end is my favorite moment of the entire Bond series. After all the years of Bond being this man who was doing everything and anything he could for his country, in the Craig era he allowed himself to also be a caring, broken, vulnerable man. IMO it's the culmination of years of cold, and calous moves to keep the world safe, and this final moment exists solely for him. It's a beautiful, yet tremendously sad moment, and it makes me cry every time I see it. I'm sure some may disagree that that isn't "James Bond", but I'd argue it's the REAL James Bond, and we were only allowed a few small glimpses of it through the entire arc of his films.
To James. 🍸
@@ebbhead20 Um did you recently suffer some sort of head trauma. You're typing seems to be filled with nonsensical gibberish. Always proof read anything before hitting reply.
I agree
I'm not sure if you got the connection but the song (and the line) "We Have All The Time in The World" is from the 1969 Bond movie "On her Majesty's Secret Service". Which, if you remember, starred Diana Rigg who married Bond.There are also a number of imagery from the 1969 movie in the opening sequence.
That was a great ending to the film with the callback to “we have all the time in the world” and closing with the Louis Armstrong version of the song. Outstanding.
What?😧
@@batmandestroys1978 The much earlier film “0n her majesty’s secret service” ends with a married Bond now cradling his dying/dead bride (just killed by Blofeld). Bond says something like it’s okay “we have all the time in the world”. The Louis Armstrong version of the song plays out to and over the closing credits…same song version played at the end of this Bond movie.
This is the one Bond movie that had me on the edge of my seat and hit me emotionally when I first watched it. I've been asking for a movie that finally kills James Bond for years because seeing him survive so many impossible stuff so many times made me roll my eyes but when they finally did it it's in a movie where I don't want him to die.
I thought this was such a fitting ending for Craig‘s version of bond. A lot of people had a problem with him dying at the end but I loved it. It was gutsy and I thought it was a beautifully directed film. Personally I put it up there with skyfall and Casino Royale. But even if you don’t, I firmly believe it’s a really solid bond film just with a more tragic ending not unlike on her Majesty’s Secret Service.
He didn’t die, no proof, we all thought he died at the start of Skyfall, they even put his name on the memorial, he got off the island somehow and will save the UK again
The ladies reactions to this film show just how amazing and kind and genuine they are and are the reason I keep coming back for more ❤
Daniel Craig wanted this. Poor Cassie and Carlie. This was the reaction I was dreading for them. Lmao. The ending really divided people. There was clues the way they kept playing music from On Her Majestie's Secret Service which also has a sad ending.
You two are amazing. Thanks for all these wonderful reviews. It is so cool to see a beloved movie in the eyes of someone who see it for the first time. Love you Girls. All the best wishes for the future
“I’m going to tell you a story about a man. His name was Bond, James Bond” Best use of the famous line, ever.
That final scene where he’s making his way up to the Command Centre, felt like a first person shooter video game, in the best way.
I just love the 5 Craig-Bonds as a whole with their story, their cinematography, the character of Bond. The finale is outstanding, Hans Zimmer was the perfect choice for the soundtrack. A week ago I was in a concert "The Sound of James Bond", where they also ended with the emotional instrumental finale of No Time To Die, followed bei We have all the time. Having seen the movie, the music of the finale alone is enough for some tears.
The heart of the franchise will always be Jorge Lazerbazer. Lol. But Craig was pretty damn fantastic. Definitely checked all the boxes. RIP. What a great run.
Great reaction as always ladies! Please dont cry that much again over a movie,you actually brought a 51 year man to tears. (i know wtf) Much love from the UK!
50:06 At the very end of the credits, it does say “James Bond Will Return,” so despite the ending we so clearly saw, this isn’t the last James Bond film, not by far. It won’t be Daniel Craig, of course, but James Bond will definitely be back. So we can rejoice in that.
Wouldn't surprise me if it was Daniel Craig. His Bond survived the beginning of Skyfall... evidently, he is immortal!
Yep, I expect them to bring one out around 2026-27 time
This was the first film I saw in 18 months at the cinema. First showing opening day, was definitely worth the wait. Seeing it with my partner the second time was worse, he audibly rolled his eyes at the magnets bit (he’s got a degree in the area) and I started crying so early on, I thought I might have spoiled the ending for the other patrons. Also the scientist who gets shot after taking Heracles out of the cold storage did make me do a double take, as he’s much more well known for being a comedian. As if someone from SNL or a late night host suddenly turned up in a Mission Impossible film 😂.
Did you forget about Simon Pegg?
Hi there guys! I don't think you'll even read this but I loved this journey and reactions I went with you guys though the franchise. I couldn't wait for this episode. My step dad got me into this franchise. Told me I had all the time in the world. He also song me the same song when I was a kid. I passed that song to my daughter. Sadly he passed away a few days before I went to see this movie. So the ending of this movie and his death was really hard. I lost to amazing heros. Lucky like Bond I had a daughter with blue eyes. Taking this journey with you guys made me heal and smile at the franchise again. I absolutely love watching you guys react to all these movies. I love you guys keep making great content! Remember.. You have all the time in the world. Now I have to go sing that song to my daughter! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ana de Armas didn’t get nearly enough screen time. She was the best part about the film.
Should have been the main bond girl, she kicked butt, on high heels!
Yeah I feel like her John Wick spinoff is probably gonna be OK based on this
Easily.
Yeah it was terrible, I wish she had been in a good one
I actually think that was the entire point. The thing that made her character great was that she was unlike every stereotype of a Bond movie. She was in it briefly and gorgeous, but also didn’t have a fling with Bond or die. She was just awesome, succeeded and moved on. When Bond tells her, “you were fantastic,” there’s a genuine surprise there because she’s a character he doesn’t usually encounter.
First time I saw this movie I didn't know what was going to happen at the end, but the moment I heard We Have All The Time In The World when they're blissfully happy together at the start, my heart dropped and the rest of the film I was just waiting for tragedy. One of the most visceral responses I've had to a seemingly innocuous piece of background music. I still don't feel great about the ending, although if you acknowledge this as a 'last' movie, instead of insisting that every film needs to just be another middle chapter in a never-ending Bond serial, I think they did it about as well as could be hoped. (And I don't know why I was THAT surprised, considering Casino Royale showed him only just getting his 00-status, so was clearly not a continuation from the previous canon...) I'll be interested to see what comes next, and whether I feel connected to the next Bond in the same way.
Each Bond had their own slant to it.
Sean Connery was the bachelor / playboy.
Roger Moore was the classic English Gentleman.
Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan played him as cocky, sly.
Daniel Craig’s is the most believable and realistic portrayal of intelligence agents.
As someone who's relative was an intelligence agent for MI5 that is funny. They mostly collect information and there is a lot of paperwork (or computer work). It is really quite boring with only a few exciting "in the field" assignments.
@@kernowarty Bond served in MI _6_ ~
@kernowarty
I met a guy at a friends wedding who was military intelligence. He was what they call “agent team activities”. Majority of assignments they were embedded with frontline units and would gather intel as they advanced. Sorta like recon team but focused more on intel gathering than scouting enemy. He also did a lot of solo assignments as well, meeting contacts, playing different factions, etc. Daniel Craig’s portrayal of Bond is very similar to the retired military intelligence agent I met at my friends wedding. He was active from 1984-2004. Been everywhere, most especially in Somalia in 93 when black hawk down happened, then in Kosovo, then Afghanistan, then some analyst work stateside, then discharged. He works for some treehugger green energy thinktank now…Go figure 🤷🏻♂️😂
Yes I know, the only difference being that MI6 deals with international incidents.@@bonghunezhou5051
Total crap!
Just finished watching your guys reactions to all the Craig movies. It's so fun to watch others go through that journey, and how the ending is so impactful. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Great job ladies! Always enjoy your reviews!
Here I am having seen this film already, a 40 year old man. Crying right there with you both at the end. Still gets me. Craig was MY BOND too! 😭
I’m right there with you brother. The first time I saw this movie it broke me. There is just something about James Bond and Daniel Craig.
Yeah I feel you he played it very good!
@@joerhea9340 💯 %!
I was the same and teared up at end and I am 36 years old and been a Bond fan since I was 8-9 years old.
@48:24 realization that bond is poisoned & has been weaponized = priceless........
This is my third favorite Daniel Craig Bond film behind Casino Royale and Skyfalll. It's very middle of the road, but has some very good action scenes and an incredible ending.
Once again, in for the jump scare! 😂 you never disappoint! My wife always jumps and then scolds me for not warning her. That’s especially funny when I’ve never seen the movie we’re watching…
You can totally go back and fill in the blanks, there are loads of Bond movies left!
So glad to finally see the final reaction, I'm so happy to have watched this bond series with yall. It is one of my favorite film franchises for sure. Like Carly said, it truly was the end of an era. Heartbreaking movie at the end, but overall, a fantastic film
I love when they are playing "WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD" at the end as a direct nod to "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE" - the Bond-movie where his wife Tracy Bond was killed by Bloefeld.
Him dying the way he did was so epic and beautiful. What a powerful ending. I love they had the balls to end it that way.
They turned him into a Marvel character. I won't be surprise if they announce Madeline will become the new James Bond in the next one.
@@JDoe-gf5oz Absolutely not the new Bond will self identify as a gay transgender woman of color, lol.
As long as the next Bond still kills people while dressing fly and guzzling Vodka martinis in-between dry quips, I have no problem with it
@@carolusmartellus2520 None of which Craig ever did.
I haven't been here live before I think!! I came in at the end and was glad to be able to see your reaction to the really emotional end. That's nice. Thanks Popcorn Girls! You've entertained me a lot in the past.
I think that Daniel Craig was one of the best Bonds ever. But the films are supposed to be about the adventures of a super spy, not a tragic family romance. However, I give props to how much Craig made you want Bond to have a happy life, and how well he gave Bond a more human dimension.
*That subplot is the equivalent to "In Her Majesty's Secret Service" where Bond got married then lost her to his enemies.* This is a fitting end to the story of James Bond.
@@hulkhatepunybanner This is your second reply arrogantly dismissive of the Bond franchise. I honestly don't know who hurt you all those years ago but it wasn't James Bond. There are "professional" people who may help with any unresolved issues that someone might be holding onto.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241 *I love the James Bond movie SERIES. Including "Never Say Never Again."* As they say all good things must come to an end. New stories, new characters, new storytellers is what I crave. BUT all's not lost for YOU, as you can watch this entire SERIES on an endless loop sitting between your mom and dad in the basement rec-room just like you did 20 years ago... when they were still alive.
there were 20+ films about Bond just doing spy stuff, I never really saw the problem with them doing something different for a few movies
@@hulkhatepunybanner How dare you. I'll have you know that as a straight white guy who now self identifies as a gay transgender woman of color I support and stand in solidarity with those who acknowledge my recent improvement on the dance floor. Although on the weekends I identify as an ambulance my personal pronouns are wee/woo. Everyone who voted for Biden owes me gas money. Don't worry I'm not expecting any recompense. I'm sure you *feel that the American working middle class should pay off your student debts.*
It took me a minute to appreciate Craig as Bond because of his performance 4 years earlier in "The Road to Perdition". It also stars Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law and Stanley Tucci and is ripe for a reaction. I think you'll enjoy it.
Have you seen L4yer Cake?
I did cry at the end, ladies.
It may not be a great film, but after spending so much time with Craig's Bond, and becoming intimately familiar with his character, I did get attached to him.
Unrelated: Ana de Armas was fantastic!
So far, she has rocked every role I've seen her in!
I was initially a bit angry that Bond didn't get a happy ending, but after a while, it makes sense. Bond isn't Captain America. He doesn't get the happy ending.
Same with me, brother. I was in sixth grade when his first bond film came out. Keeping up with Bond's journey as I was on my own journey in life created an unexpectedly strong attachment. So, watching him die as soon he's finally obtained what he had been really looking for and needing for so long, a family, was truly heart-wrenching. I couldn't hold back the tears during that scene as the explosions take him away. Thankfully my girlfriend was supportive, so it felt good to have that level of emotional closure at the end of Daniel Craig's adventures as James Bond.
I love the attention to detail, like the hall of Ms, you can see paintings of the previous actors who played M, including the M from Dr No, I think.
I don't know if you guys generally stick around for the credits for these movies, but at the end of the credits of every bond movie the line "James Bond will return" is written. This movie was no exception. Despite the fact that he died in the movie, the credits confirmed that there will be more Bond moving forward.
Bond is eternal
Bond changes with the times that has always been evident from Connery to Lazenby to Moore to Dalton to Pierce and now Daniel. I never cared for continuity in these films so another new Bond being it's own thing is exciting.
3:23 You girls should've felt that in a theatre! Nearly jumped straight through the roof of my screening. 🤣👌
True James Bond fans know he's already died once because you only live twice.
A couple of cute Easter egg things I learned about the movie: The giant ramp chase with the motorbike in Italy, the production crew soaked the ground in literal thousands of liters of Coke to get the bike to stick to the surface and avoid the ancient cobblestones from breaking, which worked like a charm. In the movie several times and two times at the end they say ‘we have all the time in the world’ which was the biggest song from ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ and they play it in the end credits (a cool nod I think to that movie).
It’s also kinda odd and weird that they wanted to release the film initially (started to market it in like 2018/2019) in late 2020, but you know a thing happened in the world that has some comparisons to the film’s ‘weapon’.
The shot of Madeline very subtly holding her early pregnancy belly when the train leaves is heartbreaking. :(
Why? She could have told him at any point during their trip but shook her head like an idiot and let him think she betrayed him.
@@JDoe-gf5oz *He didn't believe her. Blofeld was got into his mind.* Telling him that she was pregnant would've made him believe she was using it as a means to lower his guard.
@@hulkhatepunybanner Why do it care? This is your third reply condescendingly disparaging the Bond franchise. What's your biggest accomplishment? Besides the day when the kindergarten teacher gave everyone who showed up a participation ribbon.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241 *Da.* A little bit of nothing. Just giving my two cents.
I think it is fitting that they brought back "All The Time In The World" in this one. The same song as in the one where his wife was killed.
Seen this the day it came out. Super nostalgic and emotional also yet the villains bio nano tech is super scary. Like it could be happing right now and not ever even know it till it’s too late. I'm 34 have been watching bond since I was 6,7 years old love Connery and Moore Dalton and Bronson were my Era bond especially when goldeneye came out on N64 played that game for hours. But the Craig bond movies added real life realism to the franchise and yes I cried at the end of this movie and I'm not ashamed of it. Was so emotional to have a 60 year old character die off in such a meaningful way. So now I'm very curious of whats gonna come next.
I remember sat in the cinema and there was utter silence at the ending. No one got up straight away to leave, never seen that before. That was the power of this film and killing off an icon.
Excellent reaction. I have cried with you girls! 😭
Can’t for the rest of the reactions!!! I listen to the score from this movie all the time, best score of all time!!!! Saw the 3rd one in theaters 3 times when I was 5 years old in 2003, hooked ever since!
This was an extremely beautiful and fitting send off for Craig's Bond. Gave everything always, even to the very end. Craig managed to really humanize Bond in a way no one else did. They all brought something unique to the character, but Craig brought simple humanity. The theater was extremely quiet as Bond said goodbye to Madeline and looked up at the missiles.
Extremely big shoes to fill, but they haven't gone wrong yet.
The least deserving bond got the biggest send off, terrible
Nobody beats Connery. Absolute icon.
I don't think it was a fitting send off at all. Bond doesn't die. Actors change, and the character continues, so it makes no sense at all, given the precedent set over 60 years, for this film to end in the way that it did.
The last three films have commercially been the most successful of the entire franchise. I have to say it feels to me like the Bond version of Bud Light's recent marketing choices.
@@andrewwebster2598 Eh... he's alright. 😉
They absolutely have gone wrong, constantly. This was a fake travesty, not a Bond-film. Bond-films were written by Ian Fleming, this was written and perverted by a group of money-grubbing, political extremist, culturally appropriating evil people.
There was a clue at the very beginning of the movie: no blood in the gun barrel sequence, because it's Bond who is shot, not the assassin.
Please watch the "Austin Powers" trilogy.
Upvote this!
NOT Star Trek? 😮
Yussss!!
Austin Powers: There you are!
Person: Do I know you?
Austin Powers: No, but that's where you are... your there.
😂🤣😭
They should watch You Only Live Twice first.
29:11 how did he break her heart? James had every right to be suspicious. Remember the last time that"stripped his armour from him"? Yeah.
I remember going to see this film in the theatres. It was beautiful. Everyone laughed, everyone cried. Connery will always be first, but Craig is second. And this era, was nothing short of excellence. Goodbye old friend. You'll be missed.
I also work at a theater, and everyone was walking out numb and upset. Terrible ending. It ruined their experience.
Totally nonsence! Timothy Dalton was the only tough Bond!
When James had nothing to live for, he couldn't seem to die. But he found something to live for, and he died to protect it. It's a beautiful arc, from the cynical coldness of Bond in Casino Royale through to his end.
Daniel Craig defined the character for a generation. And his version of Bond will certainly be missed
You both summed up my feelings on the movie, stayed in my chair throughout the end credits dumbfounded
as a Bond fan from 1972... i loved your genuine reaction to him dying. It was the first time i had a logjam in my throat watching a film...
I loved your journey through the Daniel Craig Bond films. It was already sad seeing Felix die, but when Bond dies was truly heartbreaking. As sad as this was, one thing I loved about No Time To Die were the references to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Some of the music, most especially the Louis Armstrong song We Have All The Time In The World, and Bond at the end telling Madeleine that she and Mathilde have all the time in the world. I actually have a book that was published after No Time To Die came out; it is called Being Bond and is a retrospective look at Daniel Craig's time as Bond. It is an amazing book. Fifteen years and five films. Thank you, Daniel Craig.
Felix did not die in “license to kill’ he was eaten by the shark and had legs mauled but survived. They had scene with him in the hospital.
It is the first Bond-run with a definitive beginning and ending. It is bold, but you gotta give people something they haven't seen before, and not just hash the same old stuff over, and over.
Thanks for this 007 watchalong journey with you two! To finish off the spy flicks, I hope you try Henry Cavill's recent in Man from UNCLE and/or Val Kilmer's fun cheesy 1997's The Saint.
Bit of a missed opportunity at the end there... when they kept 'repeating' "to James", I thought, ah that's nice, one for every James there was, but alas, nah :(
“ Are they allowed to do that? “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such a great film. Bond couldn't save Vesper, M or Felix but he saved his family, he finally was able to save someone he love, and that scene with that score is my far one of my favorite moments in the franchise.
I also noticed how the chemistry between Daniel and Léa improved compared to the previous film, mostly in their more intimate moments.
What I had mixed feelings are for example the way they treated the 007 code. No, 007 isn't just a number, 00 means that the agent has license to kill and 7 is the number of the agent James Bond, it's not a number that you give to anyone like they suggested here.
What lead us to Bond himself. This film made him very...human ? Bond feels very vulnerable, he has his weaknesses, he feels even a little soft at times. And yeah, it's cohesive with the arc he had in the previous films and make him reliable, but not so much like the character we know. Not that this is a bad thing, but I miss the Casino Royale's Bond you know ? But in the end, Daniel had a noble and worthy ending for the character and I think for this sequence of films is what really matters.
PS: Not enough Ana De Armas
True Bond fans pretend that the Craig era ended with the horrible "Spectre."
This movie was such a woke abomination and a slap in the face to Bond fans, especially those who were there from the beginning in 1961.
Bond NEVER dies and they were trigger happy with offing other characters. Bond doesn't have kids or family-friendly. He isn't soft. Movie didn't make sense at all.
Hell, "Quantum of Solace" was better than this and we had to wait 6 years for this abomination.
@@kelseyk530 this was woke? wow. apparently everything is woke now. way to dilute the meaning of that word.
@@kelseyk530 I couldn't have said it better myself. As a Bond fan who grew up with the franchise, this film was a disgrace. I can only imagine that Danny Boyle left because he didn't want to be part of this woke direction they decided on. Craig, Broccoli, and Wilson should be ashamed of themselves!
@@kelseyk530 I would agree an argue even TRUER Bond fans would say Craig's run ended and the end of Quantum of Solace, when M (Judy Dench) says, "Bond, we need you back." and Bond replies, "I never left." -..boom! roll end credits. Instead they made him an old-looking, washed up, self-loathing, uninspiring (let me repeat that.. UNinspiring) drunk in the HIGHLY overrated Skyfall -a movie that had a very weak plot and horrible character development and writing, but nobody notices that because of all the shiny things they threw in to distract the masses. It was definitely a move to dismantle a single-man leading protagonist of good vs. evil.. and just dilute it all before our eyes. The producers behind that movement ARE the greatest real-life Bond villain. I know it.
The movie is so slow and tried so hard to be dramatic it just doesn't work and the ending is dumb. Is fine to kill Bond but give him something less pathetic ffs this movie completely emasculated the character.
That motor cycle stunt is actually real. No CGI
I unabashedly love this film. There are other go-for-broke Bond films that come off more as failed experiments to me - OHMSS and Licence to Kill, for instance - but this one really worked for me. And Craig and Seydoux play it with such conviction too. Just beautiful.
It's especially impressive that it salvages so many elements that didn't work in Spectre, notably Seydoux's character (I was more invested in their relationship in the opening minutes of this than I was all through Spectre). I also felt it made the best of a bad situation in how it used Blofeld.
I think some credit is probably due to Phoebe Waller Bridge, a very good screenwriter whose voice I can hear in a lot of the dialogue (notably the scene with Bond and M in his office) and the generally stronger female characters and emotional scenes.
@@sterow 100%. "Mad as a bag of bees" definitely sounds like her!
@@PurushaDesa Yes. Another line I can almost hear her saying is Bond’s “my, you are thirsty today!” (And most of that exchange.)
In reference to your claim that Rami Malek is too young to be the masked man from the beginning: Safin would have been about 18ish when he killed Madeleine's mother, while Madeleine is like 13 or 14 at the time. So there's only about four or five years difference in their age.
Still don't understand why they couldn't have just hired a younger dude to play the character.....
@@osmanyousif7849 Likely because he's wearing a mask. You can't see his full face.
The movie is a parallel to on her majesty's secret service with the same songs, the one had me cry as a kid when he lost his wife.
I actually don't mind this film, enjoyed it for the most part but it did feel much more like a Metal Gear Solid film, a very beloved video game franchise. The whole nanobots biological weapon idea seems heavily inspired by the plot of 1998's Metal Gear Solid featuring FOXDIE a virus that causes enemies to go into cardiac arrest when they touch it but only select individuals. FOXDIE is basically the same as Heracles with both virus being revealed to be created by the "good guys" in both Metal Gear and No Time to Die and the fact both main characters unknowingly been carrying the virus leading to the deaths of people they come into contact with. So on that I do think it's a much better Metal Gear Solid film than a James Bond film. So that's really why I didn't mind this film as to me its the closet we've ever came to a MGS movie.
Edit: Also these things aren't unique to Metal Gear Solid but the overall plot of this film just reminded me heavily of Metal Gear Solid.
Yep when I got to the end of the movie I was thinking of Metal Gear Solid.
Lol, you need to watch more movies if you think MGS was the first to do plot like that
@@hoya1178 No one said it was the first but it is what comes to mind.
Oh dear, Cassie was already so wrecked nerve-wise after the pre-credits...from then on I knew this was gonna be a hard one...! It's probably the Bond movie with the most jump scares ever...and so many subtle and not-so subtle callbacks to previous movies...the way he kills Ash by kicking the Land Rover over on top of him is a variation of Moore's Bond revenge killing Locque in " For Your Eyes Only (which you skipped) by kicking his dangling car over a cliff...probably the most cold blooded kill in the Moore era. Some scenes in here are truly reminiscent of a horror movie, it's just full of stuff you've never seen in a Bond movie before...and the end still gets me, I've watched the movie 3 times and maybe 5-6 reaction vids on YT and I still shed tears at the end...The theatre went totally quiet except for quiet sobbing in every row of seats! Ana de Armas was phenomenal in this one, she deserved much, much more screen time!
What do you guys think, would you want to react to the "leftover" Bond movies? There are still 11 classic ones plus one unofficial one for you to enjoy...som great ones and some...well...not so...but still! 😆
James Bond will return. The Bond producers said the next film will be a "reinvention" of the Bond series. There's a lot of talk about Christopher Nolan directing the next one. He's a huge Bond fan and references Bond films in so many of his own films. He also said in an interview in 2017 that he will direct the next one if it's a "reinvention". So both the producers and Nolan seem to be on the same page.
Craig was a reinvention of the series. There's literally nothing they can do to reinvent it again unless they completely subvert the character as even the awful final movie didn't.
Omg, that would be something.. I think Craigs movies have been a great take on the series, even though I didn't like that he had to die in the end. Just need to find the right cast. I hope they stay true to the original books and don't become too political
@@JDoe-gf5oz Just reporting what they said. I'd say there is a lot more that can be done with the character than currently is. And without destroying the integrity of Bond.
@@LG-bi1sr Yep I'm with ya. What I appreciate about the Craig films is the producers didn't follow the formula as tightly as the older films. And I think this is the only way forward for Bond. Most people are aware of the murky world of espionage now, so going back to drawing clear lines between good and bad isn't going to work anymore.
I'd just as soon enjoy a return to brosnan era vibes. Crazy action with some lightness and humor. Not campy, mind you, but seeing bond smile and quip and enjoy himself a bit more
I never expected to be sobbing at the end of a Bond movie!
Just a reminder that Daniel Craig's era isn't cannon to the rest of the series (Sir Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan).
No Craig's era is canon wheter you like it or not, don't be silly
@@hoya1178Did you just upvote your own comment? Dude didn't marry Tracy and the other Bonds didn't know Vesper.
@@JDoe-gf5oz What you're acting like you that is canon for every Bond? lol
Every Bond has their own canon, they sometimes borrow each others history for narrative porposes but that is very rare.
@@hoya1178Where are you getting that? The previous Bonds didn't have their own personal canon; they were the same character just played by different actors.
A way Bond to lived here, is in ''You Only Live Twice'' novel. Bond doesn't know that has a child from Kissy, and is considered dead by MI6. They do his obituary here too, but he is not dead, he has amnesia.
I remember the hype I felt waiting for this movie as it was continually delayed. Then it finally came out. I’ve watched this movie once. That was in the theatre while I ugly cried at the end. Really traumatized me because Bond and especially Craig’s Bond has a special place in my heart since I’ve grown up with him in the role. I remember liking this first part of the film a lot but the second half didn’t work for me unfortunately.
3:48 That’s a Noh mask used in Japanese Noh theatre. The name sounding similar to Dr. No actually made some fans speculating that Safin would turn out to be Dr. No, just like Oberhauser turned out to be Blofeld. That ended up not being the case, however.
Oh
this film was a mini homage to on her majesty's secret service. the music in the end all the time in the world and a whole host of other things. this was a good movie except for the villain safin which I think could have been a bit better. but other than all the nods and goodbye to daniel craig was top tier. and even though I was not a daniel craig fan at the beginning but I still teared up at the ending
the villian is definitely the weak link, and not because of Rami Malek either, he's definitely a good actor, its simply that his story feels kind of tacked on at the end with no build up when they should have just kept it between bond and spectre for a full circle
I like the little call back in the final fight in the Bunker where Bond appears at the end of a tunnel, spins, crouches and fires- referring back to t he opening sequence of every film where you see Bond down the rifled barrel of a gun before he spins and shoots and blood drips down the screen..
