Most people will probably put Casino Royale and Skyfall in front of No Time to Die but I personally enjoyed this one the most albeit it's a photo finish between these three in terms of preference.
Pros:
- Entire Act 1 is only rivaled by the one from Casino Royale
- Cinematography is up there with Skyfall
- Action scenes are top notch
- Hans Zimmer's score
- Satisfying story to wrap up Craig's tenure as Bond
Cons:
- Some plot holes are a little hard to overlook
- Pacing towards the middle of the movie slows down a little
One big thing to keep in mind is that traditionalists to the Bond franchise may have a very hard time adjusting to decisions that are made. I call it an evolution of the franchise and to the Bond character overall.
Huge bond fan but this was Craig's worst Bond movie. The plot is a cut and paste evil villain trying to take over the world. I have no issue with what they were trying to promote in equality for cinema. But the plot was just terrible
What I hate, this is the only one that received a whole upgrade!!! 😡
If this was any indication what the others would have turned out like, I would have bought them.
I refuse to pay for only half an upgrade especially when the one that did wasn't great! 😡
If someone wants to buy the iTunes digital code code of this movie, please PM me.
Another satisfied customer who got the 3 Disc Collector's Edition and the digital code turned out to be for Apple TV and not MoviesAnywhere like most movies. Lame decision by MGM.
As a lifelong Bond fan seeing the the final film for Mr. Craig there were some scenes that were a bit emotional for me, even teary-eyed. I know for some viewers it won't feel that way. It's very hard to produce a film today without flaws, it's very easy to offend everyone. So I did expect to find things in the film that people would have issues with. I found these issues, but they didn't really affect me from enjoying the film. I thought they honored Bond, the franchise and Craig.
Be aware some possible spoilers below...
The actions scenes throughout the movie are VERY good. The camerawork on these scenes were excellent. You should see this movie in IMAX(if you can) to fully appreciate these actions scenes.
Great acting all around, especially from Mr Craig.
The villain is well played. You will despise the villain. He is a scumbag. He uses a baby as collateral. He's a scum and wants to destroy the world because HE desires it. He wants to destroy people close to him because he's selfish. He's evil.
The film introduces the new 007, she's female. Whether she will be THE new Bond in upcoming films, I don't know and I don't really care. My ONLY gripe is not that she's female but that her arrogance is way over the top. Even the most arrogant Bond was never this arrogant. Her arrogance is so high as to be almost rude to people. That isn't Bond. Bond is confident but never arrogant.
Honestly, that may be my biggest gripe with this film, is the new 007's arrogance. But there is some hope, as midway in the film, her and Bond work together and by working together her arrogance actually subsides a little.
The first half of the film is better than the second half but still overall it's an amazing film and bittersweet end to Mr. Craig's Bond films. I will miss him, as I've enjoyed his Bond movies and thank him for bringing back the Bond franchise. Hopefully the next Bond will be able to fill his shoes.

The blu ray only came with the Apple iTunes digital version and they only printed that notice on the back cover in small print, so if you want digital on a different platform this is a good price.

I watched it and enjoyed it. It was not the best Bond movie ever but I still had a good time watching it.
I do agree that Rami's villain ended up being meh. But the overall plot of the villain was still pretty cool. Just the villain himself wasn't.
Anyways, solid, but not spectacular, rating from me.
