SPOILERS !!! Bond movie - No Time to Die

[Mark TKO]

I'll wait for people to acknowledge they've seen it before posting more.

Let me know.

If you're here without seeing the film then can you read ?

Saw it at the cinema last week.

How did you feel about the ending. I was fucking fuming.

You don’t do that. You just don’t….

Yes it fit with the film as a stand alone but not the franchise

[SlimTrae]

No time for riddles, please tell me how'd it end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Gotta wonder how they plan to proceed. The signature line "Bond... James Bond" needs to continue.

They ran out of Fleming Bond books a long time ago so the series or 'franchise' has no option but to go somewhere else. Having a black female 007 appear in this one I think is an indication that all bets are off and to expect the unexpected.

Maybe it would make sense to go full retro and recreate one of the earlier films and keep it set back in the time they were written. That if handled properly by the right director could be great.

I think it is a fitting end to a great Bond. They gave Craig some funny lines like Moore had, the car/bike chase was class and there were nods to Connery even. The nemesis didn't have enough screen time and the balance of acts was not quite right but I enjoyed it for what it is.

If Bond survives it limits them in future. 007 gives them free reign.

I'm sorry but after 59 years you don't do that you just don't. Yes if the franchise is coming to an end fine but at the end of the credits you get "James Bond Will Return" not 007 will return.

How exactly ?

I'm not buying into an alternative dimension and all that bollox. Bond is a British secret agent and must remain so.

Maybe they'll go back and remake a few of the classics - to be fair films get remade which are a lot more recent than that - but as official films that wouldn't quite work for me as you like some continuity like it's always worked before adapting to the modern world. But you can't do that now so what's their plan ?

Sean, Roger and Timothy would have got off that island ! Hell even George and Pierce might have !

There's an unwritten rule with JB and they fucking broke it

[TitoFan]

The franchise has moved seamlessly from one Bond to another through seven actors. You've had a Scot, English, Irish actors, with even an Australian wedged in there somewhere.
James Bond has been dark-haired and suave... but has also been blonde and brawny.

Why the sudden need to kill him off? For the sake of inclusivity??

Damn... this is just another example where people can't leave well enough alone. Just like Brosnan gave way to Craig... so could someone else stepped into the role after Craig.

Been thinking about this and agree - though at the same time it would be admitting "ermmm we've killed him off and no idea how to progress the character now - maybe we fucked up..."

Imagine 'Live and let die' with Idris Elba as Bond, a white Voodoo guy and a Tarantino like soundtrack.. Ha! 'Moonraker' with better fx, imagine 'Goldfinger' set in 1964 with The Kinks, The Stones, Etc and other songs from that year. It could work.

Or it could be a shiteshow like 'The Italian Job' remake.
