Well, after a looong wait, it's finally here. I actually thought that it came out already and I just missed it as I wasn't really interested about it after Spectre bombed and Craig looked like he doesn't want to do the role anymore. I went in pretty much blind, without even watching the trailers so I had no idea who's the bad guy and why, and that approach worked just fine...for the most part.
Spoiler-free part first: first two-thirds of the movie is pretty good. It builds up slow and the plot is pretty complicated with a large cast. That always works for me. The villain is suitably mysterious, with both obvious and non-obvious motivations. But the third act is a grind to watch through. Action scenes are way too long and there is too much talking which doesn't lead to anything. At the times it feels like you're watching some weakly scripted FPS run. Also I really don't think Craig and Seydoux have a particularly good chemistry together. Admittably part of the blame lies on script which has her emotional or sappy nearly all the time.
On a plus side cinematography is much better than in Spectre which was just dull, drab or plain badly shot most of the time. Though in some places it is still too dark and drab and you can't make out who is shooting whom. Not big fan of the title track but maybe it grows on me.
Overall, it's better than Spectre but not really by that much. Of Craig's five movies, I say it's firmly in the middle.
Then, the spoiler territory for more specific criticism:

Saw it, loved it.
It managed to weld traditional ‘very daft Bond’ to more modern ‘somewhat more realistic Bond’.

I think it's amazing. I'm not a fan of Craig's bond movies, only liked Skyfall among those and I consider Spectre and Quantum of Solace in particular pretty terrible, but this one was really epic.
The first part in Matera was absolutely brilliant, so were the sequence with Ana de Armas and the ending.
About the chemistry between Craig and Seydoux I think it was ok, although there's a gap of age of nearly 20 years that IMHO it's the biggest obstacle in their relationship, or any real relationship actually. The song and the credit scene were just godawful .

No time to die?
Better would be this title:
No time to watch.
Imo Craig isn't a proper Bond like Connery, Moore and Brosnan. I watched one of his movies in which the secret service got bombed and wasn't amazed at all. In a nutshell: The magic is gone.
I also severely detest the marketing of Craig's Bond movies as being constantly attributed as "modern" which implies the previous flicks, as well as their fans, are outdated and inferior to what they churn out today.
And again:
No time to watch.

They've not really appealed to me either. The whole endeavor started 15 years ago when the genre was in the thralls of Bourne and the gritty reboot was all the rage. It was part of the same wave of success that carried Nolan's Batman and similarly struggled trying to maintain that kind of gloom for audiences that quickly jumped on the MCU's preference towards color and optimism.
There's been some solid films along the way for sure, but you can also feel the franchise being contorted into an awkward shape in an attempt to modernize. It's in so many ways the counterpart to Nolan's Batman, trying to shake itself of the shadow of Die Another Day similar to Batman and Robin.
Ultimately, I think the main problem is just that it's grossly overstayed its welcome. Where Dark Knight Rises bowed out and ended the era of grit, Skyfall's success spurred on more movies that have dragged the concept well past it's shelf life. Much like similar problems in comics, things like Watcchmen and Dark Knight Returns shine in small doses. The tone that really shined in Casino Royale just isn't resonating 15 years later.

I haven’t really liked most modern Bond movies. I thought Golden Eye was pretty good, but the next two sucked. Casino Royals was decent, but didn’t feel like a Bond movie to me. I saw one other Craig Bond movie and can’t even remember which one.

Dark and gritty Bond is an oxymoron. Bond was written as a dry British parody of American spy novels of the 50s and 60s. The hero supercompetent, always gets the girl, etc. Ian Fleming took the latter to comical heights, and Bond almost always bumbles into the villain's plot and survives only due to the villain's arrogance.
Bond was never intended to be a hero. He was intended to be a joke. Making him overly serious misses the whole point.

Yes marketing of Bond movies has been self-parodying for decades, they always ballyhood how THIS movie is modern and has strong female roles, unlike all the others... It has become really silly. I don't mind grittiness, many of the Fleming books were actually pretty gritty, and as a character Craig's Bond is closest to the literary Bond. 'Casino Royale' is one of the most loyal book adaptations of the franchise. Moore's Bond was the furthest away from Fleming's vision, and I think the franchise reached its artistic nadir during his era - although I do like his early movies. It is funny how many people look back to those comical movies - so much since parodied - and view them as the 'proper' Bond.

Probably because, in comparison, Craig's Bond movies are just ...... lacking. Overall, though they're well made movies, & they make $$, in the end they haven't really been much fun to watch. They're too serious.
This gritty realism stuff just doesn't sync up with all the absurd, larger than life, stuff that's made the character/franchise popular movie-wise. Thus the absurd/larger than life stuff gets toned down or outright excised. But that absurd stuff is what people still want & expect from a 007 movie.
So is it any wonder that people look back fondly on those Connery - Bronson movies that they actually enjoyed watching?

Seriously, is there anyone who prefers Moore's and Brosnan's movies over Craig's? Moonraker, Octopussy, Die Another Day or that awful thing with vodoo?
I love Connery's Bond movies but they're not something I would have liked to see in theatres in the late 70s and 80s, let alone in 2021. Craig's Bond is definitely a proper Bond, just a modern one.
I don't even think they're even this realistic, plots based around crazy supervillains that threat the world with some wicked and scary large scale plan never are. Where's the realism in the chase from the initial scene in Italy? Or the fight scenes in Cuba, at the club where the three good guys kill a hundred of henchmen without missing a shot and even finding the time for a drink during a shootout, but also the chase and fight in Norway, into the woods?
Only the protagonist's feelings are a bit more realistic compared to his older counterparts. I also see A LOT of irony in these movies.

Moore's films definitely ramped up the camp too far - and by the later ones, he was definitely getting to be too old for the role.
Die Another Day went OTT with the gadgets, and the bad CGI wave can't be forgiven, but the other three Brosnan films hold up, IMO.
I would say that I'd watch a Brosnan or Craig Bond film for different experiences, though, and wouldn't try to directly compare them.
From the bits of Bond literature (by Fleming) I've read, I would say that Craig feels closed to the book version of Bond.

Ah... me? Because I understand Bond is spy parody and has absolutely nothing to do with actual spy work? I mean, how can you call any of them a serious spy movie with not a single dead drop in sight?
Not to mention the villain schemes that range from weird to impractical clear into WTF territory.
Bond is not a franchise to be taken seriously. Making it serious is a serious mistake.

I agree, it shouldn't be taken seriously. But IMHO neither Mission Impossible or John Wick (which you mentioned in the other thread) are actual serious films, there's a lot of irony in them and they are very far from being believable. That's how I like a Bond movie, or any other fun action movie that doesn't derail into a comedy or full parody.
I mean Bond shouldn't be as silly as Austin Powers, The Naked Gun or even Fast and Furious. And I don't even think that Craig's Bond movies are that more serious than Connery's ones. Those are simply movies from the 60s. Honestly I don't think there's a single action movie in the history of western cinema that should be taken as serious.
With Moore and Brosnan things became too cartoonish. Some people may like that style, I respect it, I just think that overall quality of those movies were pretty low.
Anyway Craig's reign is over, and I'm looking forward to see what's next for James Bond, it's entirely possible that new Bond will take a completely different direction. Maybe more serious, maybe more cartoon.

Live and Let Die was an absolutely great popcorn movie.
I liked the first 2/3 of Casino Royale but after that they've all sucked. You can't make Bond movies as serious films. They're not supposed to be.
I also agree with the above. Bourne took the serious bit and knocked it out of the Park. Austin Powers took all the fun bits and knocked them over Dr Evil's head. You want serious and gritty spy, go watch The Courier. You want cool Bond watch Atomic Blond. Moody Bond is boring Bond, sorry.

Same. Craig's Bond is cardboard, and whatever the plots are, they aren't interesting or entertaining.
Older Bond films have _lots_ of issues, but the directors (and actors) understood what they were making.

Being unrealistic doesn't mean it can't be serious. Lots of unrealistic works can get very serious - fantasy, superhero, scifi, even anime & cartoon...
But I think I get your main point: a Bond flick should not take itself too seriously and dwell too much into gritty dirty territory. Plenty of movies do that already with characters which are better match for it. People watch Bond for its timelessness glamour, unique charisma of the main character, they don't want to see him dragged through mud and blood for 120 minutes.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but one of the things I find makes Bond, Bond is this sense that these adventures are just a day in the office, doing his 9-5. There's a detachment to everything that goes on that comes from being prepared for anything no matter how outlandish.
Craig's Bond tries to make things more personal. It's hardly the first time this has been done, but I don't think you can pull it off as often as Craig's movies have attempted. It works in Casino Royale because that's kind of the point of the film. A reboot that ends with Bond getting attached and learning why that's a bad idea.

Yeah, this is my main problem with Craig movies. It worked first time around (and it was very similar as in the original novel). I personally also liked Skyfall, which I see perhaps the only successful 'deviation' from the Bond formula. But the last two you got the feeling they were just threading water and trying to recapture the lightning.
It's a cyclical issue with the Bond films: every time they hit something which resonates with the viewers and seems to suit the actor, they beat it to death so much that the movies become stale and the lead gets bored with the role, and then they have to reset it to something totally different, preferably with a new guy in the lead.

To a degree, I don't think that was always the plan. QoS is a lot more impersonal, but it suffers the most from not really knowing what it wants to be in a year in which a few movies REALLY made a statement. It's pretty clear Skyfall leans back into what worked a little more than it might have if QoS had landed.
I do like Skyfall, but its also really weird how much it wants to be The Dark Knight. Spectre also really felt like it wanted to be the Winter Soldier, but mostly suffers the same way a lot of films trying to reverse engineer the MCU did. Definitely overcomplicated Bond on the whole.
I'm very curious to see what they do next. Also curious to check out this one, but its hard when Craig has been shackled with so much continuity that I've had very little interest in following.

Well, in the 60's you weren't going to be screening in the Soviet Union no matter what, so who cared?
Now China is a huge market for films, so it's very important not to offend your audience because you'll make less profit that way.

The chinese government also censors movies that portray them in some bad way, while russians (and western countries in general) laugh about being portrayed as corrupted, gangster, stupid or "bad" in general.
A plot involving evil/corrupted agents from the producers' own country, including the actual government, is pretty common for western countries, but still a taboo in China.

The villain's motivations were a bit underdeveloped. I think he was supposed to be a Kefka-like character that just wanted to set the world on fire; he had been hurt and just wanted to return that hurt on everyone else. I don't really get where he got all those resources either as it he just seemed to have appeared whole cloth with a secret lair, access to countries most highly kept secrets, and a massive goon pool. I'm wondering if there was a blink and you'll miss it background element that explained it or if something were cut to make it a trim almost three hour experience.

That was probably my criticism of the film too - both the Malek baddie and Blofield in particular were badly developed. And Christopher Waltz was criminally under-used in his role. I would say the only thing comparable to it in modern film is the casting of Idris Elba and Matthew Mcconaughey in The Dark Tower (which could have been absolutely the perfect casting) and then making a film that missed the mark.
I really enjoyed No Time to Die. Without putting things in Spoilers they dared to do something new, developed the character, still had some great action sequences. Bond took off his shirt 5 times in the first 20 minutes, kicked around with some hot laydees and gunned down tons of people while coming out with one-liners, so the core of the film stayed the same in that respect.
