Movie #2200 "No Time To Die" (movie theatre) There's lots of violence and shooting and by the end, I honestly didn't care (Disclaimer: I oftentimes feel that way with action movies, but no so much with James Bond --- there's usually some woman having an important part (esp. lately with Judi Dench in charge) and lots of humor --- but Dench is gone and there's a lack of humor in this one.) This movie should have been special since it is Craig's last, but he's always been a cold James Bond to me. - way too serious. I would think with the little girl and the love interest, I would've been pulled into this one emotionally, but I wasn't, and I think it was a combination of things. Many questions that I and the people in my group had weren't ever answered, the bad guy wasn't clearly delineated and he wasn't in the film all that much to understand him, And his lines weren't clear all of the time, either (that could be an age thing, but I somewhat blame him and the accent he used) . In addition, the movie is too long and the story too convoluted --- still, there was beautiful photography, a true sense of an ending, a love story with an adorable little girl, unbelievable stunts and special effects ---- and for my money, the love interest was great in it. With her big doe eyes and honesty in her acting, she came across so different from the army of Bond girls who came before. I'd give this a 3.8 out of 5.
