No Time To Die came out October 8, 2021 as the twenty-fifth James Bond film in the series and the fifth where Daniel Craig starred as James Bond. No Time To Die has non stop action through the entirety of the movie.

They introduce a new villain to the series, Safin. Instead of working for Specter like in the other movies he is actually working for himself and it was a shame that the movie never clearly stated the villain' motives even though when Bond confronted him, he tells him to get revenge on the people that killed his family. He was going to poison the world with Project Hercules which he stole in the beginning of the film. They also revealed that James Bond had a daughter which he didn't know about until later at the end when it is made clear to him.

There was a lack of urgency in the film then in the others. For example Bond walks down a highway instead of running to the airport nearby. I also thought that there was a lot of bad decisions the antagonists and protagonists made throughout the film, like how Bond suspected that someone had broken into his house, and then proceeds to carry on like nothing had happened. Safin saves Madeline from the ice when she falls in and then goes after her again years later.

From a visual perspective the movie had a lot of good stunts, my favorite was when he drove the dirt bike up the wall. It also had great special effects and sound everything is well timed and the effects were good quality. All in all it was a good movie that I'd watch more times than once.
