If you find "No Time to Die" too long, just leave when he gets really sick.

Looking forward to seeing it, and like so many of you, I've enjoyed Daniel Craig's performances as Bond. But I won't be able to see it for several weeks, as things are too busy, and I'll be traveling. I may have to wait for streaming, which isn't so bad.

2 hrs 43 minutes…. That is a long one.

I don’t mind a long movie IF it shows me something valuable or important. I watched the 9+ hours of “Shoah” back in the mid-80’s, and I’ve spent a couple long evenings watching several films at the Sundance Film Festival when I was living in Salt Lake City. But I haven’t read the books, and haven’t found any of the Bond films to be more than “good entertainment”, so it is hard to imagine that I won’t notice how long I am sitting in the theater.

I may gave it a try anyway, because the reviews are good, and friends are talking it up, but my expectations are “measured”.

Well, I went and sat through about 45 minutes of it before I got up and left. It just wasn’t to my taste.

Wow. I've never walked out of a movie. But then again, I'm pretty selective about what I will see in the theater, so I usually don't experience any huge disappointments.

I’ve found that the older I’ve gotten, the less patient with movies I’ve become.

Those of you who’ve seen it, please chime in. Thanks in advance.

Too late, now, but unlike a lot of long movies, this one didn't seem to have much filler in it, IMO.

In the mid '70s I walked out of Andy Warhol's Frankenstein.

It was ok. I didn’t dislike it but can’t say I really liked it. I prefer the old school Bond…more fantastic than realistic and more humorous than serious.

I saw it today whilst waiting for my car being serviced. I really enjoyed it. It has a more grown up feel than the last couple I think. Didn't like the theme tune this time though!
Well worth seeing in my opinion; I certainly didn't notice how long it was.

The visuals during the opening were superb.

In No Time To Die Bond has gone where no Bond has gone before.
