No Time to Die


 Ian Fleming died in 1964 at the age of 56. He didn't get to see the movie version of Goldfinger. No Time to Die marks the 27th James Bond movie. Fleming, I believe,  would be overwhelmed with pride and delighted to see how far his character has travelled- like any great Bond film, it's been international locales. This is Daniel Craig's fifth Bond film and it's said to be his last (although I think he said that two films ago) - Never Say Never. I would argue, with a ridiculous runtime of 2 hours and 45 minutes, it's his best and one of the best Bond films ever. For me, the almost 3 hours flew by, with all the bad guys in hot pursuit of course. No Time to Die has a great story, drama, bulletproof cars with machine gun lights, cool bad guys, martinis, and a new black woman double oh seven (I would have like to have seen more of her). What more could you want? Go catch this one in the theatres while you can - the bigger the screen, the better.
