No Time To Die review

 

James Bond. 007. Kn own the world over. With this 25th entry into the iconic movie franchise which just so happens to also be Daniel Craig's final outing as Mr Bond can it not only be a great James Bond movie packed with action but can it also send Craig out on a big final note? No Time To Die is quite frankly brilliant. It packs such an emotional punch that it just amazing. Daniel Craig is as brilliant as ever as James Bond the rest of the cast which includes new and familiar faces abound are great here also. In classic Bond style there is a quite an amount of locations and they are as gorgeous as they are varied. From Italy to Cuba to London to a deserted island where all bad things are going on. It's a feast for the eyes truth be told as always is with James Bond movies. 


Rami Malek joins the fray as this entry's villain and I just wish he had time to be explored more because quite frankly he's great in his role. He speaks very calmly but manages to still be quite menacing showcasing a big sign of the power he commands. It's quite sad that over 160 minutes of this movie that he is so underdeveloped as he is but I too understand that the focus had to be on Bond this time around more so than others. As for your action there is plenty here with high octane chases abound including an array of vehicles from the classic Aston Martin to a part plane part submarine that switches between the two flawlessly.  As for the titular song written by Billie Ellish it works great in the movie with the opening credits but on repeated listens it falls a bit flat at least for me. It's certainly no Skyfall by Adele or even You Know My Name by Chris Cornell


No Time To Die is a very fitting end to Daniel Craig's legacy as James Bond. It's packs quite an emotional punch. So much so that it's hard to next get swept up in it all and actually shed a tear or two. From Casino Royale to Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre and now No Time To Die Daniel Craig has delivered 5 unique and hard hitting performances as James Bond. Personally Sean Connery is still the number 1 Bond for me but Craig ranks as a high second. He not only brought the physicality to the role that was very much needed and required but he has and had the acting chops to back it up. No Time To Die is as close to perfect as you can get for a James Bond movie. Let's just hope whomever takes up the mantle next can do Daniel Craig and all those previous proud just as Mr Craig done. 

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
