- The ending to No Time to Die is insane...
James Bond is one of the most recognisable characters in movie history. Did he deserve that type of ending?

James Bombed? No thanks. Anna De Armas is always fantastic.
Not a huge Ana fan...BUT this is her best performance!
@@MarcusFlemmingsHaven't heard of her before this film, but she did well, I liked it.
Killing its hero would have been more effective if it didn’t have the “James Bond Will Return” card 5 minutes later.
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Forgot about that!
I saw Skyfall in the theatre and was amazed. Tight, great villain, Dame Judy given an earned sendoff. I was even OK with Spectre. Not great, but a terrific opening scene and a good ending.
But then comes No Time To Die. From Bond surviving a full frontal bomb blast to a wasted Ana De Almas to horribly miscast Rami Makek to the bad romance to the what-the-hell-is-this ending, I was confused. Where was the fun? Where was the consequence? Where is the sense of risk that was all over Casino Royals and Skyfall?
Bond movies are mixed bags, sure. But they are best when they combine joy and thrill. Think Skyfall. The villain is a thing of nightmares. Yet Q provides low key laughs and the obligatory sex scene is given its literal fireworks to punch the point home.
Nolan directs Bond? Sure. If he doesn’t drown all the dialogue with music, doesn’t repeat said dialogue three times, and stays on task , I’m in. But if he gets pseudo-intellectual, bye bye Mr. Bond.
In regards to Ana (because the rest your points are awesome, as always) - I'm not her hugest fan but she's brilliant in this film. And probably the kind of thing she should stick to from now on - she's not good enough to be too range-y with her choices. As for Thr full frontal bomb - pahahahaaa! I forgot about that! How ridic!
I know you did not ask for people to put down their favourite Bond. Sean Connery. He is the definition of manliness, and Stoicism. I don't know how to describe Sir Connery in words. Out of old time movies, I will watch over again. Sir Connery is the few, I do watch. I like the others 007's. It's like eating a hamburger versus sirloin steak. Thank you for the review of the film.
Big love for the comment! Connery is the best. Undeniable. He's not my fave...I think Moore might be. But Connery is the best!
I gotta go with Brosnan as the GOAT
I totally agree. I didn't dislike the movie, but it didn't feel like James Bond at all. Like the new Star Wars movies, I just imagine them being a alternate timeline and not canon, so they don't have the same impact.
LOVE THIS! Yes, me too! For me, they're not canon! Do stick around!
best comment of the year, "I would rather have James Bond spend 3 hours trying to boink every woman he meets in every country than sit through this boring love story" hahaha #ManTalk
HAHAHHAAHA! I actually would. Cos this film was a dragggggggggggggg!
@@MarcusFlemmings that & Spectre both. I'll watch Quantum of Solace over both of those with joy & enthusiasm any day of the week.
Because he dies turns out he did have time
He thought he had....more time...?!
@@MarcusFlemmings he had a moment to die
My favorite James Bond film is Skyfall. What amazing scenes with great fight scenes like the shanghai fight scene and great cinematography with a compelling villain.
Skyfall is brilliant! I didn't like it initially...but a 2nd watch proved me HUGELY wrong!
@@MarcusFlemmings It really is a good film. It's nice to know I wasn't the only one that considered Spectre a step down from Skyfall.
Complaining that a Bond film is melodramatic is like complaining that water is wet.
Otherwise, you nailed it. With Skyfall's critical acclaim, everyone realized they were Respected, and they needed to make things Meaningful. Who wants James Bond-Family Man?
Hhahahaa! Your first line nearly had me in a tailspin - and then your "James Bond-Family Man" line won me over! Fab comment!
turns out he had plenty of time to die. Though if I had to kill Bond off in a film I would let the gunbarrel guy finally get his man after 26 films.
Hahahhaa! That ending would be incredible!
Glad to finally see some who also thinks the ending was rubbish, in fact the whole film was pretty meh. Said so at the time yet everyone, including the critics were going over the top about how good it was.
Yeah, I've always not liked the film. It's pretty average and boring!
Ah man just when I was starting to forget this disaster... Literally left the theatre pissed off after watching this and watched Skyfall to forget. Also Dalton was pretty good dude! He was quick on the trigger like Craig
Big love for the comment! I've never seen a Dalton Bond film :) I probably should at some point...he just doesn't 'feel' like a Bond to me!
@@MarcusFlemmings Both of Dalton’s films are brilliant. The Living Daylights is classic, Cold War Bond through and through.
@@astrosquirrel5038 I need to check them out!
Even tho I shed a tear at cinema theatre when i saw this moment, but i agree with you that bond is sexist but its his main thing and changing him is kinda destroying the whole essence of character. And the whole kid arc, like i think Bond in every country might have at least 2 kids, but i thought it was kinda a foreshadowing for female Bond movie, which i agree with Craig shouldn't be existing. There should be seperate franchise like Atomic Blonde without Bond brand name.
And it might be controversial but phoebe waller bridge shouldn't have been in writting chair for this movie (she was i think who pushed love arc, i could be wrong).
Also the title is very ironic for this part, but yeah it was pretty boring one alongside with Spectre.
For me the best Craig Bond movies are still Casino Royale and Skyfall and i think one of thing why those stories stood out are villains and female characters (Vesper and M) and how mean much to Bond but they also independent. I think that Lea Sedoux is amazing actress, but that role wasn't for her.
ps : my mom watched ALL bond movies, Craig is her favourite because of piercing blue eyes.
I do love Craig, I can't deny! I was just underwhelmed by Spectre and especially No Time to Die. As for a female James Bond, I'm down for that as a new character - but I would prefer they just made a new series of films away from the James Bond world with a female character. Much like the Bourne films and Mission Impossible have done. As for Phoebe, I don't dislike her like some of the other TH-cam channels do - but she deffo had an influence on this storyline - the love arc absolutely was part of that!
Sound only working in one ear for the parts with your commentary
yeah, someone else mentioned too! Sorry!
Glad you said it! I walked out of the theater wondering why I watched that movie. And I like Bond movies.
3 hours of NOTHING! Honestly, they could have put that money into a good charity. Thanks for the comment! Big love. Stick around!
I liked NTTD...its just not a James Bond film.
I think Brad Bird should direct the next Bond film. The Incredibles (I know that's a superhero movie but it also has a spy vibe to it) and Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol feel more like classic Bond movies than the last 4 (I love Skyfall but that felt more like a Nolan film than a Bond film).
Brad Brid is an underrated gem! For the first of the new Martin Campbell would be best - and then Brad Bird would be ideal for the 2nd maybe! Great comment...stick around!
Yes. I loathed the ending and pretty much everything after 20 minutes. Yet I think the first action sequence is one of the best pieces of Bond-cinema I've ever watched! It's *incredible* but then the quality plummets and crashes into a fuggen mountain - no survivors, not even Bond. What a stupid send-off.
Nice video, mate.
BIG love! Stick around! The sequence between the initial explosion - which was ridic - to the train sequence is okayyyyy...I guess! But the rest of the film is trash!
I think it was the perfect ending.... because now it's guaranteed that the lame ass Craig era is over for good.
Pahahaa! Not a fan?
@@MarcusFlemmings noooo! No-humor, no-swag, long-winded and half assed action movies that pose as character studies dont make good Bond movies
@@stefanpp1155 exactly, he sucked all the fun and escapism out of the Bond films.
What's next? Bond falls for a trans he met at Dr Nomoreconfusion. Last time I went at a cinéma for a Bond, was with my three teen sons. The one with Halle Berry. None of us remember the plotitude, we all remember Berry. I think the playa sequence was an hommage to Dr. No and Ursula Andress. The youngest was 12 and said afterwrads: I whish I had an older sister. I love my boys. One last thing... Emmett Walsh is gone and David Bordwell died last month. He was a great cinéma pedagogue.
Firstly, awesome comment! Secondly, I'm ashamed to say I thought Emmet Walsh had passed away a while back - didn't realise he was still alive until recently. Sad news - such an incredible actor.
I might be one of the Timothy Dalton weirdos. I remember those movies as my favorites, but I also have not seen them since I was a child. We're talking the better part of 35 to 40 years ago, so my opinion of them today may be totally different.
I've never seen a Timothy Dalton James Bond movie....! It's my bade of honour!
I saw License to Kill recently and its brilliant, you both need to get on that.
@@MarcusFlemmings
All I can say is they were awesome when I was 5, 6, 7-ish. I need to revisit the series in total. There are a good handful I have not seen.
The film is a real mess with an extremely lackluster script and an ending that is an insult to the fans. Hope the next one is a return to form.
Spot on analysis by the way.👍
BIG love for this! Do stick around :)
Barbara Broccoli brought on a feminist trash writer pheobe waller bridge to help with this movie. 2 women who killed off james bond to kill of masculinity and are in no rush to bring the character back. I wish someone would take james bond back from her.
Ya know, I can't even argue and I try and avoid the fem/mas conversation on my channel - but this Bond felt extremely castrated.
Is it just me or Daniel Craig James Bond films were actually weak. Except for some good cinematography, all the films had very poor villains . Will society accept me if I say that Pierce Brosnan did an excellent work as James Bond.
Hahha! There was a good villain in Skyfall and Casino Royale is the best James Bond film ever, but the other films are poor. And Pierece Brosnan was great!
Interesting video, but a shame so much of your audio commentary is missing - this happens in a few of your videos, sorry :( are you able to upload another version, please?
Aside from that, I'm a huge Bond fan but would agree, NTTD has the worst ending!
Thanks for this as well! Which part on this one?
@@MarcusFlemmingsapologies again, it would appear this happens if you're listening with earphones ( I am using a pair of basic Sony wired earphones). However, I've watched many other videos on different channels and devices with these earphones and the sound is fine, so it could be the mix on your side ( you commented elsewhere that you were using some new software?) ? For me, the sound drops out and goes really really quiet at regular intervals on this video, in at least 4 places. Sorry :( otherwise, am loving your videos and theories on movies 😊🎉
Hey, I’m definitely one of those weirdos who likes Dalton! But can I get your opinion on something I keep seeing, trailers for films or tv shows are really terrible nowadays. I remember watching trailers and they were fantastic, sometimes they were better then the movies they were trailering. But now are trash, we have had had like over ten this week and they I hate them all! They make me angry!
Nowadays, trailers are WAY better than the films they're repping! It s got to the stage where I don't even bother watching trailers!
Amen this movie was awful. That's coming from a guy who likes all these movies. Every god damn one of them.
It's SO bad. It literally gets NOTHING right. Makes all the wrong moves from minute 1.
@MarcusFlemmings you are so right. I saw it coming when they took out Felix and killed Blofield offscreen. I saw Blofield get killed and said out loud "oh shit" because I realised what was about to happen.
exactly and yet people to this day call this a good Bond film. Bizarre.
Audio is partialy missing? Or it is just me?
Ikr, I can only hear it in the left side of my headphones.
Ah, interesting! Ill check this out - new software!
Damn! Sorry about that!
@@MarcusFlemmings I'm glad subtitles were available though. That saved.
You mean, the worst Bond movie ever made!
Wow! You think it's the worst?
Thanks for the comment as well!
Was James reunited with Vesper 😢
I wish! Also thanks for the comment! Stick around!
But Craig would only do it if he died. V/o is too heavy left speaker
Yeah, just seen a comment about the left speaker as well - sorry about that! And yes, Craig wouldn't do it unless they killed him - but that's what I meant by self-important. They shouldn't have make it then!
@@MarcusFlemmings fair point at end
Well I guess he does have time to die then
Seem so...so sad :( ahaha!
I tried hard but couldn't finish this video. First off 007 is the code-name, not James Bond. Second, why is a non-Bond fan telling Bond fans about the movie. And third, the ending was epic all the way down to the line 'all the time in the world'.... calling back to Louis Armstrong's theme. Bond has been completed. Perfect.
Sorry you couldn't finish it :) and glad you loved the film and it's ending...I personally didn't and hence made the video. Thanks for the comment!
Brosnan Bond is better than Craig.
It's a shout for sure! i do like Craig but after Skyfall is just went downhill!
@@MarcusFlemmings my ultimate problem with Craig Bond is that he barely ever did any spy stuff which kinda weird given that James Bond is a spy and that's his job - that always bugged me - James Bond is a playground for some silly shit. it's a fucking pulp spy fantasy. Meanwhile Brosnan delivered the goods - fighting darkside version of himself while riding on a tank through a city with some monument stuck on top - bonus points for killing lots of ruskies - fighting against literally fake news factory that manufactured an international incident to drive sales - literally riding on top of a nuclear bomb with a bombshell scientist - casually shooting Sophie Marceau in the face like it's tuesday - impaling a mustache twirling villain on a plutonium rod - fighting north korean rogue general with electric hands who turned into a milquetoast british proto elon musk bum armed with literal space laser - fucking invisible car - Brosnan movies get it
Disagree.
Really? Why?
