[QUOTE="Professor Irony, post: 619881, member: 159"] [B]No Time to Die[/B] Shockingly, I’ve pretty much wound up agreeing with what everyone else is saying; this is a very solid final outing for Daniel Craig as Bond that doesn’t feel its hefty running time, although I don’t think it quite measures up to the oddly perfect Skyfall. The film is at its best in the first half, with excellent action set pieces, particularly those in Italy and Cuba, but I think it loses its way a little into the last act. Despite the grand scale of the villain’s plan, it feels a bit nebulous and lacking an immediate sense of threat, while the final assault on the lair lacks the visual interest of what came before. Interestingly, I think it’s often at its most charming when it’s being flippant, with some genuinely amusing exchanges between the characters, so perhaps this might point the way forward for the series in future.
