I was surprised at the swings of emotion I felt in this installment. At some moments I experienced the immersion cracking jolt commensurate with a suddenly suspending reality, in others I longed for all to be right with the characters that lined the plot. By the time the film had wrapped up, I had ticked three or four extra 'kinda silly film reaction' boxes that I was altogther unprepared to do.
It's fair that the recent crop of Bond films are pitched first to the fanbase and second to the casual observer. There's intrigue, minor character to major character progression and a need to try and pack a generation of backstory into a single 100 minute romp. No Time To Die is possibly overly ambitious in its desire to tie up the previous 3 Bonds with a blood stained, bullet riddled bow. If a consumer has paid attention to the characters in previous Bonds, most of the plot (one can hardly say twist) progression is understandable, albeit with some efforts. And as with all of Craig's Bonds, we see 007 revealed more as a man struggling with his own demons as much as he does with the everpresent heavily armed generic mercenaries.
This Bond is a fine end to Craigs time at the helm of 007. It's inclusive, bonkers, gloriously stupid, sexy and destructive and despite extra cognitive load required to string all the parts together (optional - it doesnt really need to be done to have fun). In short it's a great nod to the ridiculousness of Bonds of the 80s and 90s, albeit with the darkened tones of the current day and a sound example of how a good Bond film should be done.

UK Australian Case Artwork shows HDR10+. This is wrong, 4K disc has Dolby Vision and plain HDR10.
Still a Good Movie, It would be good if Universal/Sony got their facts right. "Old" 4K had the same error. This is only an issue if you have a 4K TV with only HDR10+ no Dolby Vision (eg Samsung QLED). Bill from Aust.

Loved Daniel Craig as Bond and after all the other films this was a fitting end to his story. The only downer was the hold up on delivery so it arrived a week after the release date, but the product is great.

Bond dies, hilarious, they ran out of ideas after Brosnan. The whole movie was a woke joke. What watch another. And it wasn’t just me watching it that thought so.

Daniel Craig's last bond movie failed to hit the target. I started to like Craig as the most serious Bond, but this one didn't do it for me. Seems he couldn't wait to put 007 behind him and left both my wife and I feeling unsatisfied with this latest Bond movie

The sound on this was terrible, couldn't understand the characters at all. At several points in the movie random subtitles appeared that did not match the movie. Felt like I was watching a bad pirated version.

I finally broke down and purchased a Blu-Ray edition of 007's "No Time To Die" in order to complete my collection of James Bond Blu-Ray discs. The Blu-Ray version of NTTD is excellent and the merchant was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The price was quite good and the delivery of the product was extremely fast. I'm glad I waited to purchase this video from this dealer rather than purchasing from a big box vendor or some other higher-priced merchant.

In Craig's last Bond movie, he doesn't disappoint. I hoped for more of the Bond quips. The movie was too long. I still enjoy the old Bond the best. Do you have to have two 007's? Can't use 008, 009?
