No Time to Die vs. Dr. No

First and last Bond film (thus far). If Dr. No was a bit more polished, it would probably edge out No Time to Die, which is entertaining for the entirety of its two and a half hours, but doesn't stand out in any way.

No Time to Die made me realize just how completely bankrupt the James Bond franchise has become, over the course of sixty years. Tedious, ponderous, and implausible. I miss the good old days when Bond was just a spy, instead of the savior of the world.
