After wave after wave of delays, "No Time to Die" is finally here – the 25th 007 film is more impactful than any of the previous ones. It's even more emotional than having to say goodbye to the Judy Dench version of M that has been with us since 1995's GoldenEye in 2012's 007: Breaking The Sky.
What's more, this latest 007 movie has shocked fans and critics like never before. The repercussions of "No Time to Die" aim to change the immutability of Bond and the 007 series of films.
The film has begun to distinguish the more casual moviegoers and critics from 007's longtime fans. Although it's been 60 years since Dr. Noir hits the big screen, does 007 really need to be shaken like this? Did the idea of change behind the scenes create a mess for himself? Let's wait and see.

Anyway, Daniel Craig's 007 career hasn't gone up and down as much as his previous 007 actors. Some might argue that other versions of 007 perform worse overall, while in contrast we can find that Craig's films are good films every other time.
Of course, we have to mention 007: Ghost Party, although it is much better than Quantum of Solace, but it is undoubtedly still one of the troughs of the 007 series. Ernst Stavro Brofield and the evil group Ghost Party were supposed to return in glory, but unfortunately, the Handling of Ghost Party was unsatisfactory.
In "No Time to Die", the Ghost Party returns and seems to have the upper hand for a while, until at The birthday celebration in Bloomfield, the top members of the organization are killed. Under the control of Waldo Obruchev and his nanorobots (Project Hercules), they systematically and completely eliminated the Ghost Party, leaving Blofeld alone alive.

Safin is a step backwards for the 007 villain. He's very smart, disfigured, and self-righteous, but sadly, Rami Marek doesn't have much room to play, and his role is almost relegated to foil – the film itself is more like 007's personal story.
When Safin was very young, his family was killed by the late Mr. White, and since then his goal has been to avenge the Ghost Party and White himself. Although Saffin never came into contact with White, he killed White's wife, and nearly killed Madeleine, but spared her life—so that the two were forever linked.
After completing his revenge on the Ghost Party through Bond and eventually eliminating Brofield, Safin's next goal is to rule the world. Osruchev, who appears to have been commissioned by M, is not loyal to MI6, but is actually doing bad things for Safin, and his goal is to release nanorobots to the world and effectively eliminate the world's population, but it backfires, and 007 stops all this.

The plot of this one may have been a bit of a mess, after the studio and producers were initially unsure whether Blofield would return— he was dead at one point at the end of Ghost Party.
Although they linked enough clues together to secure Blofield's return, this almost made Safin redundant. Blofield's role in reappearing is to reconcile Bond and Madeleine while fulfilling his promise that Madeleine will "take your life". Although this plot arrangement seems too deliberate, it is good enough to be poetic enough to make people feel relieved.
Madeleine, who was once the daughter of the Ghost Party, will finally get rid of the shadow of the past once and for all. Safin took advantage of their connected fates and killed Brofield with a nanobot through Bond's deadly contact. Madeleine continues to influence Bond's fortunes and trigger one of the most shocking changes in the history of the 007 series.
Madeleine Swan's return is not only the first of the Bond Girls, but perhaps the greatest transformation in 007's history – for better or worse. She brought Bond's life to life to life, transforming him from a cold-blooded killer into a loving father, though it didn't last long.

The character of James Bond is strange, especially for today's modern audience. As many people get used to MCUs and precise timelines, it seems that everything can be pinpointed, but not in the 007 series.
This is bound to raise a lot of speculation: is James Bond going to die, or is his name and the number 007 just a code name passed down from generation to generation? "No Time to Die" confirms at least one of these views and largely rejects the other.
Rumorpoy that's why Danny Boyle left the project in the first place, and Barbara Brockori and everyone involved in the production thought it would be a good thing to end up killing James. Was this the right decision? Time will tell, and finally being infected by Safin's nanobots, Bond becomes a lethal weapon against Madeleine and her blood relatives.
So, 007 did not want to endanger her or his children, but chose to die in a missile attack that destroyed Safin's lair and Hercules' plan.

To prove that James Bond, the 007 with a license to kill, is indeed dead, M and his militants at MI6 gather to honor the superspy. For many, they must have thought Bond would come alive again, but that wasn't the case.
M, played by Ralph Fiennes, read some familiar words in memory of Bond at the party that actually came from Jack London's motto.
"I'd rather be reduced to ashes than dust!" I would rather my spark burn out in the brilliant flames than be snuffed out by dry decay. I'd rather be a magnificent meteor, forever shining brightly, than a sleeping, eternal planet. People should live, not simply survive. I don't waste my time on prolonging life. I'm going to make good use of every minute of my life. ”
Not only do these words echo some of Bond's life creeds, but they add even more weight when we learn that Bond is really dead, rather than the disguised death of the previous story. That's exactly what Bond wanted, a brief ceremony that didn't require a grand farewell.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" >4</h1>
Before "No Time to Die", farewell was never the theme of 007 movies. The actors and the roles they play go back and forth, and 007 continues to save the world. Aside from the death of Judy Dench's version of M, the only thing that comes to mind is desmond Levelin's version of Q. Although this is not the planned ending, it is really felt when we see Desmond's eyes.
Until then, the parting of life and death is reminiscent of the death of Bond's wife, Tracy, at the end of The Queen's Secret Envoy. This was not only an extremely dark ending at the time, but also haunted 007 until the time of Brosnan. Thanks to Hans Zimmer's excellent soundtrack, this past once again haunts Bond.
Louis Armstrong's We Have All the Time in the World inspired Zimmer so much that he used the main melody from beginning to end. At first, this may seem like a pleasant nostalgic journey to present some similar visual scenes, but it's much more than that. This time, it was 007 who greeted death, not his new lover Madeleine.
He fought for the queen and the country for so long, but in the end, he sacrificed everything for Madeleine and his daughter, whom he barely knew.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" >3</h1>
Mi6's resident character is like 007's mother's family. These characters have been around for more than half a century, and they have become an important starting point for the 007 saga. So much so that some people can say that the scene where Q appears is the movie clip that many fans are most looking forward to.
Before the Daniel Craig film series portrayed these characters in its entirety, every appearance felt like something was missing, and M alone wasn't enough. Thanks to 007: Skyfall, we finally have the full list, but now in Dead, their future hangs in the air.
It's uncertain where the series will go next, and we don't know if they'll move on or go back in time. And it's undeniable that this is the most tight-knit 007 supporting cast since the death of Bernard Lee.
Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomi Harris as Monipone, and Ben Whishaw as Q are all outstanding. Even Tanner, played by Rory Kinnier, is crucial to this generation of Bond. For these 007 supporting characters, the only thing we can be sure of at the moment is that Felix, played by Jeffrey White, will not return after being killed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" >2</h1>
But at least one thing is for sure, James Bond will be back. Now it feels as if 007 will be there forever in some form. Simply put, the audience loved the character very much, as evidenced by the box office numbers, and 007: The GreatEst-Grossing 007 film of all time.
It surpassed $1 billion and became the seventh-highest-grossing film in history. Now, with Amazon acquiring MGM, they definitely want to work closely with EON Productions to blaze a new trail for Bond.
Thankfully, though, the classic slogan at the end of "No Time to Die" – "James Bond will return" confirms Bond's return. Now we know that not only will 007 return, but the character of James Bond will also return in some form. There will no doubt be a lot of new faces in the next 007 movie, but we can rest assured that he will be back.

Don't underestimate the importance of Daniel Craig to Super Spy 007. In five films starring Craig, he did make James Bond better — keeping what worked and ditching the outdated stuff. It was a daunting task, but he succeeded.
Looking to the future, or even going back in time, Bond will eventually lose the reputation that M once gave him, and now 007 is no longer a relic of the Cold War. Sexist machismo is extinct, and a new, more fashionable modern spy has risen. And all of these changes have not affected the reason why this character has long been loved by millions of people.
Whoever succeeds Craig, it's better not to screw up, as Daniel left the character at his best after the messy Death of a Chosen Date. The next actor has a lot of homework to do before he can take his class.
