It should, but EON has no generosity. I'm glad it doesn't because the film is unworthy of them.

@@richardweddle3408 really it wasn’t and I hated it and I’ve been introduced to James Bond by my mom and by my grandmother through Sean Connery think Sean Connery would be pissed off beyond belief and so would more because you don’t kill off the golden goose you just don’t and for Daniel Craig to actually be able to have a say on how Bon dies or goes out what the fuck was he thinking sorry my cursing, but that’s what I think because there’s again you don’t kill off the golden goose

Licence to Kill, a film that I don't think works anywhere as well as this one, is a fascinating point of comparison. In its day it was also hugely controversial, provoking similar questions like, "Can you do that?", "Do I wanna see that here?", "Do I like feeling this way?", "Is this even a Bond film?" and so on.

@K F It's no surprise that NTTD and TWINE are among my favourite Bond films. That love/betrayal dynamic is something I'm enthralled by not just in this series but across all romantic thrillers - Thomas Crown, Entrapment, Inception, it's even a huge part of The Favourite with Mrs. Daniel Craig herself.

@@gandalainsley6467 go watch some soap operas.

@@comeonman1100 That was my problem. Goldeneye's problems were on the same level as soap operas problems . Ex friend betrays you and then he dies .

@@gandalainsley6467 Goldeneye and most other Bonds don't go nearly as deep into the melodrama that Craig movies do.

Everybody dies.

​@@rolandmiller5456 and that's why the movie's ending sucked. It's meant to be escapism not reality. Of course a real life 00 would die within the first 10 years of service it's an incredibly dangerous job.

Sitting through it three times is amazing - once is the most I can manage so far. I love the scenes with Paloma and Primo, but everything else is a slog.

I love JB but still haven't made it once through this one. I just got bored. Such a shame.

No idea how you were able to sit through it more than once, let alone 3 times.

Even without the ending, the Bond movies are hard to get through because they are getting close to three hours long. That plus the downer, broodiness of the Craig movies doesn't help either.

I gave up 2nd time. It's insanely contrived, overwrought and boring.

Amazon prime has the Sean Connery Bond movies available. Those movies make SPECRE look like a legit bad guy organization. That version of Ernest Von Blofeld played by Donald Pleasence, was more entertaining than the one played by Christopher Waltz (who is a good actor though).

Bond movies are best when they’re cheesy comedies like Moonraker, etc…

@@ramencurry6672 That's really subjective, for me it's the exact opposite :)

@@ramencurry6672 yep because they are lighthearted fun that is enjoyable to watch again.

Not a fun film to watch at all, the first and only time for me was cringeworthy, depressing, annoying and baffling all at the same time. How do you forget how to make James Bond movies? Barbara and MGW have been working on them since the 80s and suddenly they can't even animate a gunbarrel properly, are putting weird and pointless and even downright pretentious quotes before the movie starts, systematically killing off every character including James Bond himself, making Blofeld his brother, making him fall in love and quit over nothing, some totally unlikeable, dull and annoying Bond girl he's literally just met, making Bond forget how contraception works just before the massively contrived death, ruining every beloved trope from just wringing each one through the mangle over and over (DB5, martinis etc etc)... M will be his dad next, Q his gay cousin, Moneypenny he's already now slept with even though one of the whole points of her character was that she never actually got with him... They're also 100% now contriving and forcing a black casting since NTTD only makes any sense whatsoever if it was a statement of killing off white Bond, basically. It'll be black Bond, gay Q, lesbian Moneypenny, Indian M, asian Bill Tanner, trans Felix Leiter, gender fluid Bond girls or Bond boys...what am I missing from the new contrived Hollywood checklist for billionaire white producers to desperately try and show off how enlightened and down with the kids they are?

@@AD-kv9kj touch some grass 🤡

i watched it once in the theater. hated the ending. i bought the blueray and its now on prime. i havent watched it again yet.

Yes, I think Craig wanted his Bond to "die", but that has tarnished the whole concept I'm afraid.

Well, I hope you're getting ready for black gender fluid gay trans James Bond who insists on they/them pronouns, because that's obviously what they're now contriving away at. M: Where's Jay Bond at, man? Moneypenny: They're in their office. M: Call them in now, bruv!! Moneypenny: Why are you sounding so angry and unprofessional...and like a teenager...? M: Becuz am down wiv da kids innit! Gotta make every scene a big angry broodin' drama fest. Also, I is Jay Bond's dad by the way!

@@phila3884 I agree but my love for Bond died with Brosnan so I'll be interested in the reboot

Yep. They're Bond movies. Any "continuity " is tenuous at best.

Yup daniel Craig is dead and now bond is coming back

Movie was 🗑️

I definitely felt the same way about the use of the Armstrong song in this film. In this universe Bond never met Tracy so why do they keep with the call backs? Is this supposed to be this timeline's version of Tracy? This clearly isn't the same Bond from the original timeline.

right!

Really in the author, Ian Fleming would be rolling in his grave right now. If he knew about what they did is disrespectful and in my opinion, it’s cultural genocide. You don’t do that it’s kind of like what happened in Star Wars.

Because they used Fleabag Waller and SJW crap in NTTD

Who the heck is Kathy? And why should we care what she thinks.

@@RighteousBrother Someone with the same right to an opinion as you.

I left the cinema celebrating the death of the franchises worst villain - Craig's Bond.

But they didn't kill James Bond. They killed off some short, fugly Russian-looking henchman guy with no charm or charisma whatsoever who was desperately trying to act like James Bond... Seriously, Daniel Craig isn't even a particularly good actor. Never understood why so many thought he was some amazing actor. Martin Campbell squeezed some drops out of him with his hardcore directing style and professionalism, but Craig is incredibly dull, 2-dimensional and wooden. Stiff, awkward and perpetually miserable to boot. He looks like some chav's dad desperately pretending to be James Bond. Even his swaggering walk is phoned in, how do you phone in just walking??

I don't feel good about the future of Bond either. That's why I'm leaving the franchise for good.

Craig just wasn't a good James Bond.

@@STONESGAM I've known older - much older - women who were really attracted to Sean Connery. Those females didn't seem to mind what "Bond" did for a living.

I concur, Producers should just leave it at that. Messed up the Series enough already. Thank God for Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible.

Interesting point about Maverick as a comparison.

" I cannot think of a Bond I’d want to rewatch less than NTTD" Well, Spectre is just as bad for me, but yeah. I never in my life thought I'd ever be able to say with total conviction that I would honestly rather be forced to watch A View to a Kill, Diamonds Are Forever and Die Another Day back to back than be made to rewatch Spectre and/or NTTD! And that isn't even a "woke" complaint or something, Spectre wasn't "woke" at all (like Craigbond just forcing himself on the wife of a guy he just shot and who seconds before slapped him - I even find that worse than the notorious Goldfinger hay barn or Thunderball steam room scenes) just bad and pretentious and dull.

"The beauty of Bond movies is their re-watchability". it does not get better the third - fourth time.

Wow, that's sad - your last James Bond conversation with your Dad. I was so surprised at myself, crying at the end of this film - because James Bond died. I hadn't quite realized just how pervasive this person had been a part of my entire life. I can understand how your Dad may have been a bit sad, learning that toward the end of his life, a film & book character that had probably given him a lot of joy and fun throughout his life was now 'dead' (and didn't really need to be).

@@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM yeah my Dad was a life long Bond fan, he saw Dr. No in theaters when he was 11. To be honest I'm just glad he did get to see NTTD before he passed because with all the delays the film had I was worried that he wasn't going to last long enough to even see the film. My dad was actually ok with the ending when it pertained to Daniel Craig's run but he also was anxious to see who would be cast as Bond next. This series is something near and dear because it's what we bonded (no pun intended) over. Thanks for your comment!

Same we need the Scott input!

The Bond films died the moment Craig was hired. His tenure was nothing short of loathsome embarrassment. Worst possible hiring and his open hatred of the character led to the ego-driven decision to kill the character.

This film made Batman feel like a light comedy.

The movie was fun, just a sad ending. The cuba scene for example is great fun.

@@emptyblank099aI wouldn't use the word fun for ANY of Craig's Bond's. As a film it was OK as a Bond film, it just wasn't. But hey, glad you enjoyed it.

I agree 007 deserved a good ending! But I think people will look back at this film years later and see it’s beauty.

Quantum of Solace is an excellent Bond film. For one thing I could follow the plot. I dare anyone to explain the plot of NTTD after one viewing.

@@phillipleconte3715 Agreed! I remember watching QoS when it first came out and being confused by the plot; over the years I’ve grown to love it and it’s actually surprisingly straightforward- it moves quickly, doesn’t waste time, and doesn’t lag at all. And it’s filled with subtle, quiet character moments. There are actually scenes in the film where I’m thinking to myself “Damn, why couldn’t they expand on that thread?” But now? Bond films have to be nearly 3 hours, with overstuffed plot points. poorly developed characters.. It’s nonsense

@@VandalSauvage Quantum of Solace is my fave Craig Bond film too. I know the criticisms of it being similar to Jason Bourne, but I like those films too, so to me that's a feature, not a bug. "...it moves quickly, doesn’t waste time, and doesn’t lag at all." Now imagine if Quantum had a runtime of 163 minutes - even I would be bashing it. No Time To Die is so bloated that it was always going to throw people off.

@@redlightmax There definitely are some parallels between QoS and the Bourne series, especially as far as its action; Bond is deadly in this particular film, cold-blooded, and it doesn’t get anymore gritty than this. Now it is a flawed film, especially with its villain and his scheme which admittedly could’ve been fleshed out more, but the moments that I genuinely love (the Palio footchase, Bond and Mathis on the plane, Bond and Camile’s conversation in the sinkhole…) which I can go back and rewatch. If the rest of Craig’s tenure was more in this vein, instead of these bloated tributes to the past, I’d enjoy it more. After Skyfall I was pretty much done.

Did you ever watch Casino Royale, immediately followed by Quantum of Solace? If not, and you love QoS, you owe it to yourself to have a 4 hour Bond movie night. Honestly, they should have just ended it there, and rebooted with a recast. We would've all been better off.

Casino Royale is 3rd? Something’s wrong with you.

@@nebulous6660 I'll do you better - Quantum of Solace is a good movie.

We buy into Bond falling in love (OHMSS) because we never feel that Tracy will try and domesticate him...where as Madeleine & kid...

@@rossmccay Bond is meant to be a nicer anti Hero. He is meant to be someone who uses women to gain his milestones in a mission. He is someone who needs to kill people cold heartedly without even flinching. Humanising himself a little is good but making him soft is not

I don't mind the idea of Bond dying. It makes sense for them to do such a thing with this Bond but it could have been done way better. I just can't personally buy the contrived events and situations that lead him into a place of hopelessness.

You rock!

If by "artistic" you mean just pretentious hack-art. The whole Craig tenure supposedly as "James Bond" has been plagued with convoluted, cobbled together hack pretentious writing and production, yet when you actually give it an ounce of proper thought you realise none of it makes sense, it's completely hollow and just baffling and riddled with many of the absolute cheapest writing tricks in the industry - for example revealing major characters as being related somehow in an attempt to force cheap drama or perpetually forcing a dreary and miserable tone which somehow passes for being all clever and realistic these days. Not one day in my entire real life has everything looked drenched in a drab cold blue filter and everyone been constantly brooding and wise-cracking etc. Royale was good and had a lot of promise and potential that was just wasted frankly. The Craig Bond movies are a boring and miserable conundrum for me.

totally agree

. @phillipleconte3715 Quantum of Suck, indeed.

No time to die is probably in my top 30-40 movies of all time great movie

I feel your pain, shared sentiments.

Man, I was exactly the same. But I also walked out of Die Another Day (around the time it got to Iceland). I gave NTTD, as you did, another chance when it came on tv. Even worse, because the cinema can often give a new movie the illusion of grandeur that the novelty, cinema experience, big screen and surround sound systems give. When I watched it on tv it was even more glaringly obvious what a complete hack-written, bizarrely convoluted and misguided story it was. Not even sure there is a story tbh, it's just a bunch of stuff happening, all trying to set up Bond's death. And when Bond's death comes it's not even remotely respectfully done. Bond has escaped countless far worse situations, and he's met and slept with countless far more interesting and beautiful women than that unlikeable block of pointless wood he just met and is suddenly quitting the service for and getting pregnant etc. How many women has he slept with without getting accidentally pregnant, yet suddenly just when those dumb hacks Purvis and Wadehead are forcing the demise of our hero, suddenly he has got someone pregnant by accident. I didn't buy that, I didn't buy their supposed relationship in the first place, I didn't buy Blofeld as being his brother, I didn't buy Bond not killing Blofeld at the end of Spectre, I didn't buy that Blofeld has orchestrated all the other movies (he didn't, because if you actually go and watch back through them that makes zero sense, it's been tacked on to force drama like some cheap Netflix series), I didn't buy Bond quitting, I didn't buy that Bond couldn't escape that situation or that he'd even let himself get infected like that, I didn't buy the villain's motivations (I have honestly forgotten his name right now, some Purvis and Wade character name that's utterly bland and probably lifted from a John Gardener pos novel)...man, I just did not buy a single thing about Spectre or NTTD, none of it, not even by Bond movie standards. They also killed James Bond in such a random, convoluted, hackneyed way and then just put "James Bond will return" at the end too?? Why? Why kill him then? It seems to me like a symbolic ritual killing of white Bond. They are likely scavenging around for some black actor now to try and follow the latest Hollywood trend of every white character being blackwashed. Not that I'm against a black Bond, but doing it for the sake of trends and not because you've just happened to find a brilliant actor for the role is going to be lame. It will also not just simply be done and done well, like Goldeneye simply did the female M and sexism stuff well and moved on, they are going to make a big circus of it for yet more mega rich white Hollywood producers to try and show off how enlightened they are.

​@@AD-kv9kj "not that l'm against a black Bond" tells me you are a coward. Bond is a white British male, just as Shaft or Mr. Tibbs should never be white. Would it not be nice if Bond was to be played by a Chinese or something? Take a cold shower, man.

While I really like the execution of Bond's demise and have on all ten of my viewings, I can also appreciate this: I had a feeling Bond would die in NTTD, and I was expecting more of a Killing of a Chinese Bookie or Children of Men type of death.

it as staged in such a way as to keep it secret...the crew probably had no idea. that's part of the probably....Bond was killed impersonally ...in post.

I’ll retract this comment. It ended up being a far more level headed appraisal of the film’s successes and faults than the first 15 mins suggested.

Didn’t like the ending, now I hate the entire second half of the film 😂

🤨

Not yet, but I'm working on him! :)

Looking forward to hear what this guy have to say about this film!! Hope he liked too🤞🏻

Mickey Mouse?

I feel for you. The image of Star Wars has effectively been used with young kids fighting cancer, as they've been asked to imagine their white blood cells being Star Fighters shooting and destroying Darth Vadar's ships - the cancer cells. They've studied that this mental process actually helps. We do need our "heroes". The people in film and books and on TV who inspire us and give us hope. Don't let Daniel Craig determine your fate. Have faith, drink organic carrot juices, put a small oxygen machine in your bedroom, and don't give up.

@@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM thank you.

It’s such a great film isn’t it!? And the fact that it’s about the love of cinema makes it even more special for us cine-philes!

@@Beingjamesbond I'm actually frustrated with myself for letting it slip by for this long. I THOUGHT I was a cine-phile :) As a hardened Bond fan (and with film in general,) I'm a sucker for sentimentality.

They let Craig determine the franchise. They let Craig kill off EVERYBODY. They let Craig kill off the spirit of Bond. I'm glad Craig is gone. So glad I don't know him in person, he's probably a very depressing guy.

Couldn't have said it better myself. And then I watched The world is not enough a few days ago, left the movie feeling cool with that theme playing add the classic James Bond will return at the end, was perfect. What happened to THAT Bond? I understand the need to do something a little different every time, but....Craig and his movies dropped the ball.

@@petersmithyy4556 and for the love of God stop using the DB five and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage I’m so sick and tired of that if your script is tight and good and it respects the lore of what James Bond supposed to be then you don’t need to have those, but if you did bring those two cars in to make us feel something in the movies, dog shit believe me, I ain’t gonna be impressed

@@user-lm6kf9co7w those cars Rock

@@petersmithyy4556 yes they are, and put a smile to my face when I saw the Aston Martin, V8 Vantage, because at the end of the day I am in Timothy Dalton fan

All the actors are just killing it, every one of them. For that reason alone it is fun to rewatch.

The villain doesn’t need to be older just good
