After all the hype surrounding Daniel Craig's final performance as the oversexed alcoholic secret agent, James Bond I finally got round to seeing NO TIME TO DIE.

He takes a long time to die. A very long time. Sheesh.
 
Generally ok but a bit overrated. Most unassured lacking in confidence looking Bond out of all 25. And give it up! Another movie bashing Orange and Teal/Green. I thought we were over this look? Along with these other films and shows using O&T/G to varying degrees. Benedetta, Invasion, Star Trek Discovery season 4, The Wheel of Time, Red Election. A new look, please!

It took me two sittings at home to watch the whole movie. i.e. I got half way the first evening; sucked it up the second evening and watched the rest. Any of the Bond films released in the last few decades have me longing for the period of You Only Live Twice - because to this day I can imagine that theme song wafting through my head and recall the feeling I had walking out of the theatre, when the franchise was the epitome of action films with class.
 
For me it felt like they were trying to put in EVERY possible Bond trope and fan service into the thing, along with easily two movies worth of story. They easily could have limited it to the first half of the story -- SPECTRE hires biological weapons assassin to kill Bond and exact world domination but in a twist they are doublecrossed and the weapon wipes out SPECTRE in front of Bond's eyes. That was actually rather clever in a Goldfinger sort of way but then there was still another hour of movie left and t just got weaker & weaker.
