Synopsis: After I finally saw the theatrical cut of No Time To Die (NTTD) I wanted to create a new version so Bond lives, and also be much, much shorter overall.
I thought NTTD was an over-bloated mess. It has beautiful imagery yes. Some of the shootouts and tense scenes are awesome to watch in the environments they're happening in. The callback to On Her Majesty's Secret Service (OHMSS) was actually nice to see, but the Dr. No callback not so much. I know Bond's wife dies in OHMSS so someone dying at the end of NTTD makes sense, like poetry. But I thought the poetry was kind of bad, so I rewrote it and made them all live in a wholesome Bond sort of way.
Also, the original death scene where we get all the various character's reactions to Bond being obliterated by hellfire had me laughing. I was cringing. The music was swelling! Had me dying... The story is mostly very full of itself, but the cinematography and action was fantastic.
