Review of No Time to Die

Let me say first that No time to Die, as a movie, is ok, but as a James Bond movie, it's awful, not to mention that the title is misleading. I never write reviews, this is my first review, and the reason I do this now it's because I am furious. After 59 years and 26 James Bond movies, someone decided that the James Bond movies should be about something more. I have been a James Bond fan since I was a kid, and I have seen all Bond movies numerous times. The only Bond movie I will never see again is this one. James Bond movies were about having a good evening at the movies. They were about charm, they were witty, they had class, and they were fun. I have no idea how we went from "little Nellie" to this. Neither Ian Fleming nor Albert Broccoli ever conceived of James Bond dying. Part of the charm was that you knew he could pull off just about anything. I don't care if some people decided to make James Bond movies about something more, but this is not what the Bond movies were about. You left the film with a smile and with a good feeling about the movie. You knew it was not realistic, but you didn't care. The one thing you were sure about was that you weren't going to watch a "dark" movie. Unfortunately, the latest trend caught up with the producers who decided to make No time to die a "dark" film. This Bond movie does not leave you with a pleasant aftertaste and is missing most of the James Bond movie attributes. It's the first time I left a James Bond movie without that "feel good" taste. If you are a Bond fan like I am, I think you will be very disappointed.
