No Time to Die 2021

This features lots of action with some exciting car chases and gunplay. Some of the car crashes carry a lot of impact and are brutal, which is cool. There isn't as much of Bond engaging in fisticuffs, but Daniel Craig isn't getting any younger. This time Bond is a little more sensitive when it comes to his relationships but not with enemies, he's fierce with them. The main villain is Safin, who is more weird than lethal. The motivation for his evil plan is not convincing but it's demented and the scale is large.

It turns out that the pre-movie controversy in the news over the use of "007" was entirely silly, in fact, it ends up bringing some warmth to the story. The ending is surprising if you've managed to steer clear of spoilers. The way that they set up the potential for more Bond movies with a new lead was clever.

I haven't rewatched the Daniel Craig Bond films for a long time, but I'd rank No Time to Die smack dab in the middle of the list.
