Ironically "No Time To Die" runs a LONG TIME---2 hours and 43 minutes! Sure it is a James Bond movie and you expect car/boat/plane chases but a couple could have been cut, time saved, just as instead of Bond, by himself, killing hundreds of enemies he only killed one hundred and halving the number of special effects would have cut the movie by 30 minutes at least.
In Daniel Craig's last appearance as James Bond in 5 films altogether is smart, a little different regarding the love interest and a bit disappointing regrading the 'toys' he gets to play with but he delivers the goods. There is a hint as to who might replace him but I wouldn't bet on the clue!
As always the scenery at times is breathtaking as are some of the chases and we see a sophisticated Bond who harbors no nonsense when it comes to dispatching of the enemies. and still has his martini with a pretty woman.
The women such as Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch and Naomie Harris are strong as is young Coline Defaud as the child of one of the ladies. The men such as Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q and Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter give Craig good support with, in my opinion, Rami Malek a disappointment in the long list of villains.
You know what to expect walking into a James Bond movie and "No Time To Die" delivers with a smart sendoff for Daniel Craig if not a bit too long in doing both. The production aspects are first rate as they are in most Bond films along with the soundtrack but the opening song is weak as written and sung by Billie Eilish.
Daniel Craig is going to be a hard act to follow and he leaves his fans satisfied even with one or two many fights and/or chases.

I am sure that the studio will find an actor who take up Daniel Craig's space as James Bond.

What do you think of the rumors of turning Bond into a woman or a Black guy?

@CaptAlbertWhisker Don't think the former would work while I read of 2 Black men being offered the role.

Love the movie!
It ties up the previous Bond movies and gives the franchise a fresh start.

@GreatMartin maybe they didn't want to cut corners.
I do agree with you. I think a good movie an hour and a half or an hour and forty-five minutes should be enough.

@GreatMartin I want to see some non White girls as Bond girls because Daniel Craig's Bond girls are mostly White.
Pierce get to be with an Asian woman and a Black woman.

@GreatMartin Malek sounds more like an accountant than a villain.

There is a fan demand for Idris Elba but he declined.
Henry Cavill (Superman) also wanted to be Bond.
Henry Goulding was also considered, he would be the first Asian descent Bond but he is still British
Tom Hiddleston also wanted to be Bond

@CaptAlbertWhisker Henry Cavill is the only one I would pick up to be the next Bond.

I got plenty hours with Bond when my husband was alive he loved the old Bonds with Connery and often watched them. We caught some with others too and Casino Royale with Craig and for some reason, my husband called him the serious Bond that the did not smile and laugh much, Anyway I will see if I can get this one on the net,

As fictional character "James Bond" is so real. Many "bond's" movies with cool and smart actors such as Sean connery,Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan,Timothy Dalton and last Daniel Craig have played as Bonds. Surely countinuing of this "Bond's" movie and the actors involved were waited by fans . Hopely "No Time To Die" can satisfied all "Bond's" fans ...
