No Time To Die

 

                       Well after a year of delay during the year that should not be named. I finally got around to watching Daniel Craig's final appearance as the iconic British Spy James Bond. Now I myself have No Time to Die, but I must say that this was a real tearjerker the fact that this film alone played with my emotions makes it clear that Daniel Craig is the greatest James Bond of all time. Returning are his fellow allies like Jeffery Wright, Ralph Fiennes, and Naomie Harris as well as Lea Seydoux as Bonds love interest. So, let’s go ahead and dive deep into Daniel Craig's final curtain call.

                        James Bond (Daniel Craig) is enjoying life in Jamaica after leaving acting service. However, his peace is short lived as his old friend Felix Leiter (Jeffery Wright), shows up and asks for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond on the trail of a mysterious villain who's armed with a dangerous technology.

                       Now, say all you want, but to me Daniel Craig is hands down the greatest 007 of all time, the close second would of course be Sean Connery moreover a tie between Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, and well let’s face it Roger More is the worst of them all. What I loved most about Daniel Craig's Bond is that he's a spy that's suffering through childhood trauma, along with having PTSD furthermore through the course of his journey you get to understand the character more and really, Craig's Bond has more character development then any of this predecessors, though I can say sure that George Lazenbys Bond gives a little more of character development with his version of Bond despite the fact that his was short lived and we never get to see more of that because through the course of each film era the main actor always regenerate into a new different Bond. So, again you can say all you want on Craig's performance of Bond, but I truly look at him as one of the best Bonds ever, moreover, confirming I'm probably never going to watch anymore 007 films because there's no one in the whole world that can do a better job than Craig did when portraying the greatest spy in British cinema. For a first big budget movie, director Cary Joji Fukunaga does an exceptional job with this movie, defiantly from working with the actors of course but also when it came to the action sequences, and they were so exciting to watch that I felt I was on the edge of my seat throughout the two hours and forty-six minutes of the film. Rami Malek does an okay job as the antagonist in the film although there really isn't a whole competition when it comes to Bond villain's, mainly because all of the villains through the years were deep down predictable although I do like Christoph Waltz's version of Blofeld for many reasons he's the only one that can psychological break Bonds will, also it's Christoph Waltz he does a great job playing a bad guy, I mean if you don't believe me watch the very movie that made him big, Inglorious Bastards. A side from the predictability of this being Craig's last ride as 007, there were a lot of elements that I didn't expect would happen in this film and really Casino Royale was my first Bond film I watched in the theaters and I always like Craig's performance for being a mean and gritty Bond as what Ian Fleming created in the books, and this was one of those films I felt that I was going to cry. So, as of now I can't watch anymore Bond films other than Craig's films because in all honesty no one even the successors can ever top Daniel Craig's version of 007. And closing if you’re not a traditional Bond fan I would highly recommend all of Daniel Craig's 007 films and especially No Time to Die.
