Deferred again until April 2021. Whoever started the November 2020 release campaign should be fired.

WTF are they waiting for? People to be able to go to theaters?! I mean, this is 007, not Mulan. I’d actually pay $30 for Bond at my house.

I said my piece on the Craig Bond films; but, at this point, any studio that thinks it is going to make box office sitting on a film until COVID disappears has its head in the sand. That ship has sailed and it is time to face the reality that COVID is likely to affect things for months, if not more. Put the thing out via some pay platform and start recouping investment. It will earn enough back within the first month (probably) to recoup things. Give up the idea of movie theaters and move on to digital delivery and be done with it.

I thnk that makes sense and also, it's quite possible that if or when the Covid problem ever does get under control - say in two or three years, if a safe and effective vaccine can be developed, for example - people will be so happy at the idea being able to go out again in relative safety that some of those movies could be re-released and still get good-sized audiences.

With piracy the way it is, as soon as it hits any platform, that's it....say goodbye to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Well of course it was delayed.
They just released the official music video for the theme song.

that's all I can say without giving anything away.
Also, AVOID YOUTUBE! There are spoiler videos with revealing titles.

It's good. Casino Royal and Skyfall are better, but No Time to Die is a good way to end this sub-series and it's much, much better than Spectre.

What to say about Craig's final 007 adventure? Without spoilers. It is very good. Yet strangely enough feels more and less Bond if that makes any kind of sense? This is an older disenchanted, tired Bond brought back into the game doing what nobody else can do. It has all the proper trappings of 007 while also taking pokes at some of the iconic tropes.
Thankful that it avoids a lot of the over the top modern action concepts and keeps it all in the realm of "believable" for a Bond spy film. Wonderful casting and Craig ends his run in style and class. Well worth viewing upon the large screen.
The Daniel Craig movies along with the Timothy Dalton Bond's are the only 007 movies I have ever seen in theaters. All the rest were seen on television. Grew up on Sunday nights family gatherings for eats and Bond on ABC. Connery through Moore and then Brosnan on DVD after his tenure. So I have quite enjoyed the Craig years and wish there had been a few more movies showing his "middle" years as a full fledge agent of her Majesty's Secret Service.
Will wait impatiently with the rest of the world until the Brocolli's announce who the newest Bond will be and see how the next round of movies goes...

Just saw it today and I liked it, with the usual reservations I have for all the Bond films since the early Connnerys. Craig was excellent and so was almost everyone else - with one big exception, the main villain, who was probably the weakest element of the movie for me. His #1 henchman wasn't much good either. I thnk it would have made for a stronger story had Blofeld been the main antagonist again instead of the more subordinate rôle he plays this time around.
I thnk Craig and Léa Seydoux have quite good onscreen chemistry together - perhaps better than might be expected, given the substantial age difference - and that chemistry was very important for this film to work. I also liked the visual and auditory nods to some of the older Bond films. It was amusing to see a very Tom Cruise-type American character in the film - perhaps a little jab at the Mission Impossible franchise?.
There was a lot that didn't work, a lot that I think could have been done differently and done better, but taken all in all, in the end it was a very affecting movie for anyone who's sort of lived with this character most of their lives, as is probably the case with many of us here to one degree or another. Hard to say more without giving too much away.

Seen it 3x and come out teary-eyed each time.
And when I listen to the soundtrack, I get teary-eyed too.

It was moving, no doubt about it. There were several nice little touches that rang true for me, not only with the movie franchise history but with the Bond of the novels, which isn't always the case. Once again, impossible to be more specific without giving stuff away and I think any Bond fan deserves to see this movie without knowing too much about the plot beforehand.

I've loved all of them so I'll surely see this. But since I own the 4K steelbooks of the other films I'll probably just blind buy it.

Yes, {Spoiler: Click to show}
she was a highlight of the film, and that particular scene was a nice idea, and done well. |
