007: No Time To Die

After numerous COVID delays, the 25th 007 movie has finally arrived and this movie marks the final outing of the Daniel Craig era.

007: No Time To Die

The 25th movie of the James Bond 007 franchise, titled No Time To Die, marks the end of the Daniel Craig era, and what better way to end this era than delivering the ultimate Bond experience fans are looking forward to.

Set after the events of Spectre, James Bond, played by Daniel Craig, takes a well-deserved Jamaica vacation until it got interrupted by the arrival of CIA agent Felix Leiter. Following his perilous rescue mission, Bond faces off against a powerful new villain, played by Rami Malek, with a plot for global armageddon.

The movie also stars Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, Rory Kinnear as Tanner, Lea Seydoux as Madeleine, Christoph Waltz as Blofeld, and many others. It features two new Bond girls, such as Paloma, played by Ana de Armas, and a 00 Agent named Nomi, played by Lashana Lynch. It's directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and the theme song is performed by Billie Eilish.

The Daniel Craig era of the James Bond 007 franchise marked the beginning of a no-nonsense action with Casino Royale 15 years ago and with the latest installment marked the end of the era, the producers wanted to give Daniel Craig the biggest sendoff he deserved. With an intense storyline, dynamic action scenes, and gripping moments unheard for a Bond movie, it really is the most explosive Bond movie ever witnessed.

The sendoff couldn't be complete without the appearance of Bond cars and Aston Martin blew such expectations by making not one but four Aston Martin vehicles appeared in this movie such as the legendary DB5, The Living Daylights' V8 Vantage, the new DBS Superleggera, and the Valhalla. Out of all the Astons featured in this movie, it's the DB5 that overshadowed the entire plot spectacularly because of the barrage it unleashed in one scene of the film.

What a way to bid farewell to Daniel Craig as the sixth actor to play the iconic British spy and it really is worth the wait. With No Time To Die finally arrived in cinemas, it really is the ultimate Bond movie worth witnessing from start to finish. It's hard to say what will the future of the franchise will be after this movie, but whatever the reason, this is the Bond movie worth watching again and again.
