Fast forward after that event years ago, Madeleine was with James Bond in Matera following the capture of Blofeld in Spectre. Bond decides to visits Vesper Lynd's grave to make peace but He had no idea that Spectre assassins were secretly waiting to ambush him.After surviving the plot to him and Madeleine, he quickly took her to the train station despite Madeleine's pleadings of not having a hand with the plot, but Bond felt she has betrayed him.

Valdo Obruchev was captured from an MI6 laboratory facility by a mission spearhead by Primo and spectre assassins five years later to complete Project Heracles, a bioweapon designed to infect like a virus when touched and are coded to an individual's DNA, rendering it harmful to the target and their families but harmless to others, although it was developed with M's agreement who had no idea it could be weaponized into this new plan.

The movie talks a new location in Jamaica which Bond spending time after retiring but his holiday was cut short after his old friend in the CIA Felix and a new buddy Logan approaches him to help locate Obruchev, Bond immediately declined the offer but changed his mind as hearing his replacement Nomi ( the new 007) was going to get Obruchev too,but He agreed to work without her.
On getting to Cuba to attend a Spectre Meeting, Bond meets a nervous and beautiful CIA spy Paloma who worked with him in locating Obruchev who had weaponized the project Hercules to kill Spectre men instead of Bond. Bond successfully captured Obruchev and meets up with Felix and Ash but they were betrayed by Ash who was a Double agent, he killed Felix and left Bond on a sinking ship while fleeing with Obruchev.

The new mission for MI6 was to locate Obruchev to do this they have to arrange a meeting between Bond and Blofeld with his doctor Madeleine also, as Blofeld refers to speak to her. But Safin who was the head of the project Hercules had made contact with Madeleine request she infects Blofeld with a nanobot does upon contact with him. Bond and Madeleine meets again after years of being part and There was a burst of emotions with Madeleine leaving but had already touched Bond who in turn had contact with Blofeld, but prior to this contact, Blofeld had admitted he was responsible for the incident in Mantera to make Bond believe Madeleine had a hand in it, Bond gets furious and he attacked Blofeld having no idea his contact would kill him.
MI6 had begin to make sense of the incoming bioweapon to come, the mission was to stop Safin at all cost, but first Bond had to locate Madeleine who had gone back to Norway to the exact house where her mother was murdered by Safin only to find out she has a daughter Mathilde who she claims is not Bond's child. Safin quickly goes on a mission to hunt down Bond using Ash and his armies. Bond kills Ash during the raid while Safin escapes with Madeline and Mathilde

It was clear this is the final part of the movie to rescue Madeleine and Mathilde and end Safin for good.
Bond teamed up with the new 007 Nomi to infiltrate Safin's hideout which was a nanobot factory far in between Japan and Russia, Safin was using it for mass production of his technology to kill millions of people. The real action plays here with Bond killing Safin's men while Nomi pushes Obruchev into a nanobot pool to have a share of his work, Madeleine and Mathilde manages to escape while Safin flees into his chamber
Bond instructs Nomi to take Madeline and Mathilde away from the factory while an incoming missile attack was on the way, Bond goes back to destroy the facility and kill the remaining soliders but he was ambushed by Safin who shot him severally and infected him which would mean he will kill Madeleine and Mathilde also. Bond quickly tries his best to kill Safin and he succeeded. Bond knowing this was the end of the road for him, he quickly reaches out to Madeleine over the radio telling her how he loves her and that he won't be making it. Madeleine finally admits Mathilde is his daughter, tears in his eyes th missile destroy the factory killing the great JAMES BOND

THE MOVIE ENDS WITH A DRINK IN MEMORY OF JAMES BOND BY THE MI6 TEAM.

MY OPINION
No Time to Die is an excellent display of how unique Daniel Craig as been on the series. It continues to become better than the previous series with emphasis on the realistic actions with the movie moving from Spectre to No time to Die. It was nothing short of a classic Bond movie

It is an easy 4.5/5 for me

MY CRITICISM
The only issue I had with No time to Die is the fact that Daniel Craig is gone forever, I hope the new 007 can give more than Daniel Craig well I look forward to seeing that.
