I enjoyed it (as I do ALL Bond movies). It wrapped up Craig’s stint as 007.

No Time to Die Post Credits Scene: Is This the Last Bond Movie?
Yes, there will be another James Bond, although the producers say the search for the next Bond won’t begin until 2022. Given the amount of closure in this film, it seems the franchise will be rebooted again and with a whole new cast. But despite the finality of No Time to Die, the last words on-screen are the same last four words that have graced many past 007 films: “James Bond will return.”

That's as close as we get to an end credits scene in No Time to Die. But in a way, it's enough, isn't it? There are big questions surrounding the Bond franchise after this film, and those four words pretty much say it all. Will they reboot again? Could they somehow continue on with this cast of characters and no Daniel Craig, perhaps with Agent Nomi taking back the 007 mantle? Sure, it seems unlikely... but we'll certainly be guessing for some time to come about just where the James Bond series will go next," Per IGN

“James Bond Will Return” It was at the very end of the credits in the theatre. We always stay watching for Easter eggs.

Frankly, the franchise continues to make too much money to ever stop making movies. Like “Star Wars” there is a huge fan base that will pay to see literally ANYTHING 007.

I’m good with reimagining Bond, again.

I thought the plot was disjointed, full of holes, and just not all that enjoyable.  I thought the production was fantastic.

It's middle of the road for me.  I also think it's kinda heresy to kill Bond off.  Part of the Bond ethos is that he always escapes.  Always.  They fucked with the formula to keep Craig, and it works, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

The first parts of the movie are the strongest, IMO.  The DB5, the chase on the motorcycles, the Vesper reference.  It progressively goes downhill from there.  Ana de Armas was great, and obviously hot, but seemed a completely pointless addition to the film.  Then they killed Felix for no reason.

I'll watch it again now and then, but truly I get more enjoyment out of Quantum of Solace, and that's saying something.

I've been a fan of the Craig Bond movies.  Was never a Bond fan before that.  This movie was good for the most part.  There was some wokeness but it wasn't as bad as I feared it would be.

The ending sucked balls and almost completely ruined the whole series for me.  Somebody needs to tell this dude to stop dating women he meets at work.  With the nature of his job that should be common sense.  

Bang em' out, but for Pete's sake don't get into relationships with them.  Dumb ass.

‘No Time to Die” sounded like a Steven Seagal movie until I saw it was really another ghey Craig-Bond movie without so much as even a cameo by Sensei Seagal.

If I want to want a “Bond, … James Bond” movie, I’ll watch one of the real ones with Sean Connery in it. Not any of the later ones starring ghey make-pretenders who tried to fill his shoes but failed miserably.

I don’t care how hawt the most recent Bond-age girls are. Pussy Galore owned everyone who came after her.

The villian kind of sucked.  He lacked back story.  I think it would have been better if the villian were a rogue member of spectre who lost his shit and decided to wipe out humanity and used Spectres money to fund a secret facility right under their noses.  Dont introduce someone who was never once brought up previously but somehow managed to secretly build a massive chemical weapons factory with hundreds of employees.  And I just dont care for that actor, hes kind of a pussy.

It wasn't the best effort by Craig.  I still think he's the best Bond and I'm disappointed he won't be continuing to portray him.

I enjoyed the Criag Bond movies, but this one was a bit too long and a had a weak villain.  A good Bond needs a good villain and this one was not done very well.  I also should have watched Spectre before watching this one to help me remember some of thr backstory.

Also ignore all the Bond is woke bullshit, it stemmed from people who didn't actually see the movie and went by internet rumors before it even was released.

5-10 years ago I'd be good with that too. But he said he wouldn't take the role at his age (he's 50) and would rather keep his freedom to do other projects.  I would  expect whoever becomes Bond is stuck in the role for several years to do atleast 3 movies

The storyline was OK, but the end result was the total destruction of the 007 Bond franchise.

The entire criminal enterprise of Spectre is dead.
Bond is dead.
Felix Leiter is dead.
M is morally compromised.
Q = queer, apparently.
Bond's alleged successor lacks charisma.

There is literally nothing left of the franchise.  Perhaps the eulogy scene was appropriate to declare it ended.  The only way to restart the franchise would be for Madeleine to have a son via 007 and set it 20-25 years in the future.

On a scale of 1-10, I’d like to see a lot more of Anna De Armas. A LOT more.

I thought it was a great end to the Daniel Craig series. Bond finally had a purpose, and his story finally had an end.

I’ll rewatch it and Casino Royale, no others.

I thought it was ok, if a bit long.

What was the bad guys motive, though, did I just miss it? I didn't even think it was something like world domination. I get that he wanted to hurt Spectre, but there didn't seem to be a reason why he continued after he was successful knocking them off.

And here lies the problem with modern bond films. You are never given a fleshed out villain like the older movies. They are just another action movie nowadays.

I liked how it completed the entire Daniel Craig story arc from Casino Royale through to the end.  The plot made sense to me, and it closed that chapter of the Bond myth.

The franchise is too profitable and large to leave off without another Bond taking his place.  The books have been around over 70 years and the movies 60 years, there will be more movies.

I would personally like a series of movies that are accurate to the novels set in the time period.  Moonraker was an outstanding book but a terrible movie.  The only similarities between the two are the titles.
