 Hey guys, this is Jeroen, better known as Dutch Bond fan and yesterday I finally got to see no time to die after a six-year wait I could not be happier to have finally watched this movie and Sorry for everyone that still has to wait. I'm especially looking at my friends down under And all the countries that don't have no time to die as of yet. I really feel your pain I share your pain kind of as well. I was going to initially see this movie in London I had this whole trip planned for years. I had my plane tickets ready But due to quarantine restrictions and COVID related stuff for me the trip was off. So that is what it is Now instead of you know pondering about it and feeling down I made the best possible plans here in the Netherlands and went to the biggest cinema in Amsterdam instead Which is an hour and a half drive from where I live But it was totally worth it to see it in that theater there Me and Lee at it had the best seats VIP seats. We had Perfect sound quality. It was a beautiful theater. What an experience to watch a Bond movie there for the first time So I could not be happier to have experienced it in this way Which for me was the the best alternative to London possible for this year. Hopefully Next time I will join in with the Bond community and watch it with everyone else And I would absolutely dream to experience the Royal Albert Hall myself one day Like my friend David Zuritsky, Kelvin Dyson, Tom Sears and Chris Wright from James Bond radio All the people from the Bond community that I'd love to talk to that I consider at least friends within the Bond community Um, I'm so happy for all the guys that did uh went there and I can only hope To one day share that with all of you guys as well Um talking about the movie. This is the spoiler free review I don't want to spoil anything plot related here any major things just my Initial thoughts coming back from watching the movie only yesterday Um, I'm also going to be recording a spoiler laden review in a different video So look out for that as well in case you've already seen the movie yourself For those who haven't seen the movie This one is one that needs to sink in If you if there's so much to process for the simple reason that they broke so much ground that They simply never really did before in any of the other Bond movies and not just one thing but several things were just totally Different which I think is the major plus to no time to die because it feels so fresh So different to all the 24 that came before this and yet they home watched all the older ones in a cool way as well There were so much clever references to the past so much Fleming references as well That fans will love Fugunagas directing it feels so fresh coming after the two Sam Mendes movies and the same holds for Hans Zimmer's music, which I feel Was terrific. His score is amazing. The music felt so fresh coming after specter Which had a very recycled soundtrack coming after skyfall using thomas newman's music twice in a row This had none of those issues. It felt completely new There was so much to enjoy here the action was superb um, the story is like a lot of us predicted very emotional very Emotionally driven so to speak There is a lot that needs to sink in constantly and then it's balanced out with a lot of humor as well Which I think is so welcome Craig kind of Continues the tone that he said inspector In terms of the humor But in a very well written fun way, I think So overall I'm very positive about no time to die But there are a lot of moments like I said that still need to sink in that I still need to find My opinion on or where I'm still kind of Uh in the middle about so to speak so I know that sounds kind of cryptic But you know, that's what you get when you do a spoiler free review Most of the characters were well written Madeline certainly was a lot better written and a lot more Planned out and developed in this movie compared to spectre. So this definitely I feel Lifts specter up as well a movie. I personally enjoyed already anyway Obviously blow felt returns we know that from the trailers. That's not a spoiler Uh He was creepy He was set up in a very different way that I wish he portrayed a little bit more Inspector as well Also very very happy what they did with him for the most part Then there is the scooby gang so to speak that returns all the mi6 regulars They're used in a fun way this time around I can say Um Q money penny M. They were all used well not necessarily in a bad way Like people would critique spectre for having them involve too much in the action and stuff here. They Didn't do that in that way like spectre did it. They did it in a much more clever way I feel so again, that's another positive for me Um I loved what they did with ana the armus. I'm still divided on lashiana lynch Uh, I will talk more deeply about all that stuff in my Spoiler-related review, but what I can say is my initial thoughts of lashiana lynch being a little bit too much in your face and a little bit too Too much of a political device so to speak a political statement that is walking I feel that's kind of why her character was written Um And to me, this is my opinion that's in your face a little bit There were fun moments with her though, and I'm very happy that it's not just her one upping bond Bond does the same to her Uh throughout the movie a lot which Kind of makes the relationship fun a lot as well, which I was relieved about um The cinematography in this movie is amazing all the locations are brought in in such a cool way And another thing I can't spoil without spoiling the actual Pre-title sequence is I think this was one of the best pre-title sequences The movies in the whole series ever saw Obviously, I only saw it once so that also still needs to see it sink in but there was so much to it There was just so much to this pre-title sequence. They really took their time to build up this movie and uh Get you pumped to see the rest so In my book, that's always a plus So overall no time to die in my opinion Is is it a hit or miss to me? It's a hit but With an appendix that there is a lot of stuff that needs to sink in and that can definitely Polarize the bond community and That I feel Polarizes me in some aspects as well, which I will talk about in my spoiler laden review so No time to die You do need to check this out. You don't want to miss this And I'm very curious to hear your guys's opinions as soon as you've seen it as well Please bear in mind the hashtag no time for spoilers, especially on this video This is really intended for all of those who haven't seen the movie yet And who are just curious to my initial thoughts. I'm positive about it Where would I rank it with the the craig movie so far? My my prediction was it was going to go right in the middle I I have to say This is so difficult after you know, it's only been yesterday. I've only seen it once But it has the potential to be among the top maybe topping skyfall if You're okay with certain things in it Which I know again sounds cryptic and I'm I'm still I I can't decide yet where to put it But I I can say I enjoyed it more than specter and quantum um Is it gonna top casino real and skyfall for me? I can't say after a day yet, but it's I'm positive about it overall And I will get much deeper into it in my spoiler laden review also coming up. Hope you enjoyed my initial reaction Definitely check this movie out. I hope you enjoyed and we'll see each other very soon
