    Guys, a new James Bond movie is premiering TONIGHT. This is it. This is what we all live for (okay, not literally, but you know what I mean). Enjoy every minute of the hype!

    What an incredible feeling. We've (hopefully) made it through this extremely dark chapter and now we can witness this long-delayed event. I'm so excited.

    Same here! Considering all the delays and everything the world has been through, I doubt any Bond movie for the rest of our lives is going to feel as sweet as this one.

    Throw all my hype into the ring! The wait has been EXCRUCIATING and seemingly felt never-ending at times, but we're here. I'm eagerly awaiting reviews today (in the US), hoping hard this will be a rebound from SP's disappointing third act and be a great all-around classic to send the Bond of my time, Daniel Craig, off in style.

    There will be a load of non-professional people going to the premiere tonight and coming out very excited because they've had a big evening and going onto Twitter to say "IT'S THE BEST BOND EVVVEEEERRR!!!" though, so maybe be mindful that it will be slightly over-hyped by those guys :)

    Also, don't be jealous of them: there are no more Bond films left for them to see, whereas we've still got a whole one to look forward to :)

    Signing out from AUS over here gents, currently 10:30PM. I shall wake up tomorrow to a 25 film series. Praying for us all that it rocks everyone's socks off at the premiere. Hoping to wake up to some good first reactions from insiders not tied up by the embargo.

    LETS GO!

    Would be really nice if Lazenby, Dalton and Brosnan, all come out to support Craig tonight. With Connery and Moore smiling down at the premiere tonight.

    Hey guys I'm gonna disappear for 44 days. I might check back in the non- spoiler section but not sure yet. I'm gonna wake back up at 2:30am for the premiere. These fantastic experiences don't come around all that often and it would be a shame to waste it.
    I know I'm gonna love this movie an incredible amount. It's been a long Journey and this site has helped vent our frustrations for delays and excitement for DCs last adventure and in a few hours all the anticipation will pay off. I hope you all stay well and enjoy this movie in whatever fashion you choose to see it.
    You all deserve an enjoyable final adventure.
    Peace out.

    I'm sorry for the extra wait you have to endure, @silva13 I know it's agonizing just having to wait an extra week here in the States, so I can't imagine the frustration you're feeling. But there must be some...ahem...quantum of solace knowing that the film is officially being released and you'll get to see it sooner rather than later. I hope it's everything you hoped for.

    As we head down the home stretch, and knowing what we know thus far (however much or little that is), what are your hopes and fears? Here's mine:

    Looking forward to:
    - Sandgren's glossy, colorful cinematography
    - What looks to be a fully engaged performance by Craig
    - More balanced mix of seriousness and humor
    - The possibility of at least some of SPECTRE's story and character shortcomings being mitigated
    - A suitably world-threatening villainous plot
    - More robust action and pacing than the previous few entries
    - Seeing how Zimmer's score (and the theme song) integrates with the film
    - What look to be more surrealistic, YOLT-style touches (from both the novel and film)
    - Potential for an emotional, gut-wrenching end to Craig's run

    Worried about:
    - Too much over-the-top action? (The amount of machine gun fire reminds me of the Brosnan years)
    - Dodgy CGI, which some have already remarked upon (although it'll also bring back fond memories of bad F/X from the early Bond movies)
    - Will Fukanaga and the writers stick the landing on the film's "family" themes and plot developments, or will it come off as ham-fisted?
    - Will we see the sad demise of some familiar characters? And will these moments be earned, or just thrown in for shock value?
    - Safin: Malek is a fine actor, but based on the snippets we've seen, his role could easily tip into panto territory
    - Some overused character and story beats (e.g., Bond and kick-ass female agent taking out the enemy's hideaway by themselves, yet another traitorous agent in the mix, Bond leaving the service -- again!)

    It feels amazing to be here at last. I hope everyone who gets to see the film tonight and in the next couple of days enjoys the hell out of it.

    My mind is slowly starting to accept it haha. I seriously thought we’d be facing more delays, and now I never want to hear that word again. We made it folks. I’m fortunate I was able to snag tix to an early U.S. showing next Wednesday.

    I'm so excited, there's nothing better than a new Bond film being round the corner. I'm well and truly on board the hype train

    I feel a lot of people's overall enjoyment of the film will hinge on the ending, hopefully they stick the landing. That's my only nerves going into NTTD. Judging the trailers, the action in this film is worth the price of admission

    Strangely that V8 is wearing a non-Bond numberplate, which appears to be registered to an Aston Martin Lagonda and not a V8 :)
    It's also got the wrong front end to be a Bond car.

    And is the DB5 wearing its LED numberplates?

    After all those years waiting, worrying, dreaming, speculating, getting excited just to end up waiting again and again and again to say that the road to this film has been a rollercoaster is an underestimation.

    It’s still doesn’t feel real.

    To me the delay of this film marked the official “beginning” of the pandemic. Only then, after the announcement, felt like a real thing.
    Regardless how good it’s gonna be, it’s goin to be a cathartic experience.

    My sentiments exactly — I lied awake last night thinking about how surreal it is. We're finally here.

    'James Bond' look-alike dangles high over London in hair-raising stunt ahead of premiere
    A man dressed as James Bond dangled from a ladder high over London in an eye-catching stunt ahead of Tuesday night's glittering Royal Albert Hall premiere. The stunt was performed hours before the world premiere of the highly anticipated new film 'No Time To Die'.

    A sneak peek at something discussed earlier. You saw it here first:

    That's what it looks like.

    An eyeball splitting in half - I want to say it's a nod to Tosca:

    What would be cool as hell is if they used Binder’s gunbarrel for NTTD!!!

    It was described to me as belonging to Blofeld. We'll see.
