The beginning of the film takes place in Italy, not Greece.

I have been really enjoying all the positive reviews for the film. I went into No Time to Die wanting to love it as much as I did Skyfall and Casino Royal. I didn't because the story felt sluggish and the villain doesn't make any sense. That being said, what I appreciated most about it are all the things that Daniel Craig brought into it. It's pretty cool that he got to do a legit sendoff.

There is a really solid Daniel Craig documentary on Apple TV+ called "Being Bond." It's largely a promotional video but it doesn't really paper over the rough spots of the Craig run, starting with the reaction to his casting. It has a bit more bite than your standard PR affair.

Finally, Ana de Armas has such a charismatic screen presence. I felt her eager, goofy, but fully capable character felt more fleshed out than a few other characters that had more screen time.
