Review: ‘No Time To Die’ gives Daniel Craig an emotional ending to his time as James Bond

No Time To Die

It is the end of an era. No Time To Die, the 25th entry in the James Bond franchise and the last to feature Daniel Craig as the titular superspy, is finally here after several pandemic related delays.

The only movies that we know anything about as far away as December are the big-budget blockbusters with marketing pockets so deep we can start hearing about them now.

In any event, here is the list. See if you can guess the first entry.
