Everything Wrong With No Time to Die In 22 Minutes Or Less

You may find it hard to believe, but there was a new Bond movie, like, a handful of months ago. Wild. We live in times that both fly and crawl by. Anyway, enough philosophical crap, let's count some sins!
Thursday: 2021 horror sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?

9:34 I agree here, Ana De Armas has so much potential in this film, but it seems the writers couldn’t figure out what to do with her after the second act. Fun fact: Daniel Craig himself picked out Ana De Armas to be in no time to die because he was so impressed by her performance in knives out.

A cool looking stunt shot that doesn't make sense or breaks the internal logic of the movie it's in is not nearly as cool or impressive as a cool looking stunt shot that actually adds to the story and makes sense within the fictional world it inhabits. We had already perfected that kind of stunt when Bond was still playing cards.

[@benhendricks8404]

heads up, that bike jump at 3:13 was done practically! It was edited into architecture in post but they set up a ramp just as steep and had a stunt man actually do that jump! Really awesome stunt by awesome stunt performers

That‘s how you shoot an action scene.

I'm a bit annoyed about his confusion as to how the Nanobots work. They explained several times that they transmitted through Everyone by touch but they only kill the people they're programmed to. So even if he survived and never saw Madeline again, anyone he touched could have touched her at some point and killed her; or anyone that they touched and so on and so forth. He would have literally had to never touch anybody again for the rest of his life and then be burned to make sure that she was safe.

It is such a hit and miss movie. Honestly would have liked Logan Ash to be the main Villain cuz yet again Craigs bond completely wasted the bad guy.

I was watching this movie with my cousins at their request since they said it was that good, Daniel Craig puts in a performance of a life time for his swan song in James Bond, and the entire time it just felt weird hearing Bond call someone else 007. I even said it to one of my cousins, and lo and behold, the very next scene is of Bond, Nomi and Q in the cargo bay of the C-17, getting their mission briefing, only for Nomi to request permission for Commander Bond to be redesignated as 007. I couldn’t believe it. It was like the movie heard me, and my cousins couldn’t stop laughing. Afterwards, I told them that since they’d seen the movie before, they must have known what was happening next as soon as I spoke, but they genuinely didn’t remember the line from their first viewing. Just a funny moment I thought I’d share.

7:21 Yes, it's awkward. It's like Barbra Broccoli was under so much pressure to change Bond's race and sex that it almost happened, but she resisted just enough. From here, they could do worse than divergent continuities; one with a rebooted, traditional Bond and one with where Nomi goes from here. (Not that they will, but they could.)

[@Yngin]

You're slipping up, Mr CinemaSins. First you sin how Safin can't hit Madeleine under the ice, but he was really trying to break the ice, not hit her. Then you sin Cyclops looking at Logan with his bionic eye, how could he also be in the shot, well he saw him through a mirror. THEN you question whether Blofeld also had a bionic eye, which you can clearly see he used to have but has since been removed when Bond comes to visit him. FOCUS, Mr CinemaSins, FOCUS! :) EDIT: Also how do you not get how the Nanobots work. They explained several times that they transmitted through Everyone by touch but they only kill the people they're programmed to. So even if he survived and never saw Madeline again, anyone he touched could have touched her at some point and killed her; or anyone that they touched and so on and so forth. He would have literally had to never touch anybody again for the rest of his life.

[@Resimaster]

For me this film was the prime example of "too many cooks spoil the broth" (in this case, writers). Dull story, unlikeable characters, great actors wasted on undeveloped roles and they really felt that Daniel was SO amazing that he didn't deserve to be recast and had to have a resolution to his Bond's depressing and mediocre story. It's a shame his films got worse over time, as Casino Royale was one of the best in the series.

[@steveleeart]

Yeah I loved the first and third films. I loved the first half of the fourth but the reveal was so stupid, it was something out of an Austin Powers film. This one was ok, nothing special. Better than the second for sure.

11:20 If you’re wondering how Blowfeld pulled it off - he likely used an old trick like “hold an inconspicuous monologue where using only every seventh word reveals the actual message”.

Writing this villain should not have been this difficult! A simple easy fix…Safin, is a child victim in the war between Spectre and MI6. His family and friends all being killed in the slaughter. He steals a virus to get his revenge by wiping out Spectre, MI6, and agents of world governments. Amongst his successes he dives further into becoming a narcissistic power hungry manic who decides to unleash the virus upon the world.

[@cudak888]

_No Time to Die_ is to depression to what Hitchcock's _The Wrong Man_ is to anxiety. I realize some of it is a coincidence, but was a story like this really warranted two years into the pandemic? Did we need a cherry of futility on top of the cake of depression? Hell, _License to Kill_ killed Felix Leiter's wife, chopped off Felix's leg, and despite being one of the most brutal Bond films ever, _still_ never lost sight of being entertaining (as screwed up as that sounds when one actually puts it to words) from the beginning to the end. Yet, No Time to Die is _relentlessly_ futile. You truly feel the suffering with the Bond character as he gives up - not the sympathy needed to drive the plot forward, but the kind that makes you wish the story would end so you can find something, anything - dare I quote _Kelly's Heroes_ - that's "righteous and hopeful, for a change." Purvis, Wade, Fukunaga, and the entirety of Eon Productions needed to take a step back and realize that making a screenplay "dark and serious" doesn't equate to "gripping and thrilling." Seems as if every _Dark Knight_ copycat for the last decade seems to forget this point, culminating in this "Bond" film that bases its entertainment value on such dismal emotional beats that it drags the audience down the hole with it. Something's _very_ wrong when a saran-wrap piece of tripe like _Red Notice_ somehow feels like cleansing after watching _No Time_ - you're that desperate for a mindless adventure afterwards. Granted, I realize this neo-Shakespearian tragedy is pulling some major plot beats from _On Her Majesty's Secret Service_ including the "Guess Which Main Character Has To Die™" trope, but - god - you know you've been through a hell of a painful journey when you realize the best bits of the film are the homages, no matter how ham-fisted. I almost wanted to give _No Time_ the benefit of having a much cleaner ending than the blunt mess of the '69 film, but then I realized that not even that nostalgia has been earned: They literally off ripped the ending from Top Gear's _Fifty Years of Bond Cars_ - if you've never seen it, watch the end credits; just substitute the DB5 for the later Aston V8 Mk.IV. Complete with Louie Armstrong. In 2012. Even the utterly unresolvable bellyache of the John Wick series carries a fighting spirit to each of its end credits. Someone must have thought that wearing Bond to the acceptance of death would be a bold statement, but - if anything - it felt utterly lazy and surprisingly predictable. Funny thing: It wasn't long after throwing my hands up at the Bond franchise that I wound up discovering Japan's rather hilarious (and often uneven) Bond ripoff in the form of the _Lupin the Third_ anime - which at times is a bit more _Austin Powers_ than Bond, but hell - most of the time, it's genuinely entertaining. Sure, some of Lupin can be wacky beyond belief, the Part II dubs are outrageous, the title character himself can probably carry the responsibility of the entire Me Too movement single-handedly depending on the series, and on some occasions the plot devices may be in poor taste, but I'll be darned if some of the later exploits (Part 4, for instance) prove that it's still possible to do classic, escapist entertainment - in the fashion of a Connery or Moore-era Bond film - in the 21st century. _Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol_ proved it as well. But it seems as if this last decade of film will play out with an overwhelming amount of depression in action/adventure films (of _course_ I'm throwing _Endgame_ in here); just like the 1960's are punctuated by a million farcical rom-coms. Oh, and for the smart-alecks who play the pop hits of crying SJW when a hint of feminism or diversity shows up on screen: I wasn't offended at all by those elements, nor did I think they detracted from the film. If anything, Nomi's banter with Bond in Jamaica might have been the film's best mix of a homage with good dialogue and character development without feeling forced at all.

[@jakubrejak1114]

What does "saran-wrap" mean? I've never heard and expression like that before. On a side note, I appreciate the seriousness and "depression" behind this movie and Endgame. They were both very entertaining in their own way, but I feel like their weight and heavyness made the characters and the stakes much more tangible.

[@WAstEDxLaMA]

@@jakubrejak1114 I believe he was being facetious in saying that Red Notice was formulaic, and that something like that, ironically enough, after viewing No Time to Die was actually refreshing. I have not seen either films but I do agree with the overall sentiment Cudak is driving home at. Most cinema nowadays is bleak just for the sake of bleakness, maybe because it sells. Does not take away from the fact however that not every film has to be this way and that something like this, when overused, can feel derivative. Take the new Batman film for instance. That movie is oozing with nihilism. Aside from a very small handful of humorous moments, the film is a three hour nonstop ride of “woe is me”, Kurt Cobain Batman wrestling against what exactly? I don’t know. It makes sense for the character and what they were trying to go for, but it’s overused and excessive. The gritty, realistic vibe has lost its edge. And when that’s all you see nowadays, that in itself is very depressing

[@cudak888]

@@jakubrejak1114 Saran wrap is basically cling film. _Red Notice_ is a whole bunch of better, previous films basically "masked" together into a new film, so I was suggesting someone took _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ and a few Bond outings and covered them with cling film and said "Hey! Look at our all-new movie." Indeed, it's possible to make a serious and depressing film that gets its point across - and these are important plot dynamics to actually make the characters' actions and feelings meaningful - again, demonstrated with mastery in _The Dark Knight_ - but there's a certain point where it goes too far, causing an entire (or part) of a film to become depressing to watch.

[@jakubrejak1114]

@@WAstEDxLaMA I'd argue that cinema has been bleak for the most part of its existence. Back in the 1970's we had Clockwork Orange, Apocalypse Now, Come and See... it's not that different nowadays. And while I love me some feel good, easily digestible movies sometimes, it is serious, focused, straightforward kino that I appreciate the most. Oh, and the Batman as a character is inherently moody and gloomy, so I don't have an issue with that.

[@jakubrejak1114]

​@@cudak888 Do you think it's possible to successfully pull off a "saran wrap" film? I do, and I also think Red Noitce did it really poorly. Aside from No Time To Die, what are the most glaring examples of a film going too far in its "doom and gloom" (like you mentioned)?

You missed the fact that Saffin went to the cabin to kill Mr. White's family and he then saves Madeliene minutes after trying to kill her. Why? You also missed Bond being able to survive a bomb blowing up in his face as Vesper's grave. Bond killed Primo in the opening sequence, yet he is still alive to be at the secret SPECTRE meeting that everyone knows about. Primo is a SPECTRE agent, yet he is immune to the SPECTRE killing nanobots. Bond is forced to kill him again in the third act.

[@alm2187]

I've got a long list of details I'd fix about it with a magic wand, @@psifla99. If the magic runs deeper, I've got ideas on how to overhaul the whole concept. Our subjective dislike of the movie is a separate subject, though. 😎 The analogy stands. Both films were planned as finales for the newest cast of an old franchise. Both gave the leading man an antagonist with a retconned vendetta. Opinion poll results pending, both likely had viewers asking why this antagonist feels out-of-nowhere.

[@thesledgehammerblog]

Third best movie from the fourth best James Bond (I'd rank the Daniel Craig movies in the order of Casino Royale, Skyfall, No Time To Die, Spectre, Quantum of Solace.) Set your expectations accordingly. The ending mostly felt like Daniel Craig trying to make absolutely certain there was no chance they could drag him back for a sixth one, especially when Netflix is reportedly paying him $100 million for two more Benoit Blanc (Knives Out) movies where he mostly just has to stand around and talk in a bad Southern accent.

Just so you know: the bullet don't kill Madeleine because bullets lose energy rapidly in water. Mythbusters verified this on their show. It is one of the few times movies get ballistic physics right.
