    NTTD reverted back to the PB era in production and acting... But worse.

    This film is mean spirited and cynical.

    I think if I skipped 1 hour I would not miss any plot.

    I think I have weathered a large majority of the crap until the end 😳

    Saffin Just arrived in Madeline room for reasons??? I forgot these two were even in the film.

    Madeline randomly excepects a new client who trespassed.

    Terrible writing on a fundamental basis

    OHMSS theme vain attempt to add some kind of weight to this crap. I admit I was duped in the cinema.

    NTTD is light years from OHMSS.

    Bond shows respect to Nomi and gets attitude, why?

    The lack of professionalism in this film is shocking, why does everyone whine?

    This is not James Bond when he confronts Blofeld, terrible script.

    God this is bad, PB and Carver is more tolerable than this.

    The nanobot plot is stupid.

    DC wardrobe in this film is decent.

    Madeline is boring.

    The audience knows Matilda is Bonds daughter, Madeline keeping that from Bond is stupid.

    DC acting his worst in the five films.

    'She's not yours', ok Madeline.

    Shock stunts in the Norway chase that are good. This scene reminds me of a Bond film.

    This scene in the forest with the fog is good.

    Logan gets his due.

    I do like the score, the music when they go submersible is great.

    At this point OK I will go with it though I know what is going to happen at the end.

    The problem with Safin and Blofeld in this era they are about as menacing as a Chihuahua.

    Madeline heels look more dangerous than Safin.

    This final act is totally unfocused.

    I like the score.

    The way the final act is building is OK I am enjoying it, if they did not kill James Bond it may have been OK.

    Tonal issues raise there head too much.

    The writing now gets totally nonsensical with Bond, Saffin and Matilda

    Bond should survive this to make his near final words mean something in the context of the film.

    When fake Bond said Nooo I stopped watching, I won't watch the End of NTTD again.

    NTTD is the worst Bond film IMO.

    Excellent write up, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns.
    Interestingly, I was thinking of popping NTTD is soon, but I never seem to have enough time to plan a full watch. My feelings toward the movie are inconsistent. I do feel a bit melancholy that NTTD was the one that ened up being Eon's last.
    My hunch is that Amazon will do their own thing with Bond, so traditional elements ( gunbarrel, PTS, titles, etc) could be cinematic history. I just wished Eon could've gone out with a more even film.

    Wow, pretty savage review @Fire_and_Ice_Returns
    I haven't watched NTTD enough to make an absolute clear opinion of it! The last time I watched it , I really liked the first hour or so, very much! Bit indifferent the rest, but overall still watchable! Craigs performance is uneven though, and it's such a pity he didn't finish as strongly as he started in CR!

    I may have been harsh though NTTD leaves a bad taste in my mouth though it is not without a few good moments. Bond dying I have major issues with, they could not even commit to a decent death and made it so convoluted, I will never watch that scene again.

    With even more hindsight Bond driving off with Madeline at the end of SP would have been an OK ending to that era.

    Ouch! That's some critical write up @Fire_and_Ice_Returns !!!!

    It has to be one of the most divisive Bond films among fans. Some of the hate this film gets from fans on social media borders on the deranged!

    Personally i really like it a lot. Even though there are a lot of problems in it.

    The film IMO carries too many issues from previous films and somehow make those issues worse.

    I am in probably a small camp that despite loving GE, CR and QoS the Bond films kind of ended for me with LTK. I am not as committed to the Bond films post LTK as many are which admittedly makes me less forgiving with the recent Bond movies.

    Fair enough mate. It's a shame that the series kind of ended for you with LTK. Any reason, or was it the six year gap..?

    Probably the Cubby factor, though I was just thinking to myself that I may be preparing myself for the worst outcome of Amazon taking full control and distancing myself from the modern films even more.

    I have been considering leaving the site and just enjoying the films I love without distraction. I am reading through all Fleming novels again as a kind of reset.

    That would be a shame if you left the site. You contribute lots of good posts to other discussions, like 'last album you listened to' and 'non-Bond soundtracks' to name two.

    Thank you though I just don't think my heart is in it any more, I am over 50 I am re evaluating a lot of things.

    Well LTK isn't a bad way to end 😁
    Though I wouldn't like to be without CR and QoS, the Brossa era, I could happily do without!
