I for one can't wait for Daniel Craig to stop being Bond, he might be my worst take on James Bond out of them all.

He's a good actor but the franchise seems self loathing at this point. The producers and writers have been fixated on the idea that Bond is irrelevant and obsolete and it's been reflected with dreary stories devoid of any kind of fun or adventure.

I think the problem is that Casino Royale was also a good movie, whereas Quantum Of Solace and Spectre were garbage and Skyfall was ehhhhh..... It hasn’t been a great run but I don’t think much of that can be laid at Craig’s feet.

The producers and writers have been fixated on the idea that Bond is irrelevant and obsolete and it's been reflected with dreary stories devoid of any kind of fun or adventure. It really is lacking in the fun and adventure on which the rest of the series embodies. It is why I can go back to watch You only live twice not that it is a fantastic Bond film but not terrible by any means it really shows off parts of the world that many people may never have gotten the chance to explore and for those born long after the time you get to see and enjoy just what it was like in the 60s in that part of the world. I hope post Craig Bond brings back that sense of adventure and gives us back gadgets and just makes it all a bit more fun.

Casino Royale and Skyfall have been the highlights. I can barely remember Quantum of Solace but I think it had something to do a desert or some shit. The way they used Blofeld in Spectre was just dumb. To bring back Bond's greatest enemy and have his motive be that he was jealous because his dad loved Bond was just idiotic. I am also no fan of the mumbled dialogue, choppy editing style they've used for these films.

I mean it has been said a million times, but that's straight up Austin Powers: Goldmember. f***ing come on. The way they explained Spectre being behind all the previous movies plots was unconvincing as well.

I personally think Craig is 2-2 in his Bond films with Casino and Skyfall being great and the other two not so much.

It’s basically the only Bond movie that requires you to have seen another movie. If you watch it back to back with Casino Royale it feels like a much better movie. Still not not one of the better Bonds, but it definitely helps it. And Spectre is awesome for about the first 2/3 and then it completely nosedives. Very disappointing.

Batista should have been the main villain in Spectre. His motive would have been that he wants to add Bond to his collection of international agents that he's beaten to death and had stuffed for his collection.

ooh just listened to it ..... shades of skyfall and older themes popping up even though i fell that her pronunciations can be a tad difficult to understand sometimes ..... all that whispering see ..... it even has the feel of a fairy tail, keeps it bravado to the MEEREST limit, and has that typical eilish fragility to it. but my god when this comes up on the screen with the sequence, that auditorium will be absolutely deathly silent ..... thought the writings on the wall was chilling? THIS IS GONNA BLOW PEOPLE AWAY!

I like it a lot, and Billie is usually hit or miss for me.

Really like that Intro Song. I personally think Craig is 2-2 in his Bond films with Casino and Skyfall being great and the other two not so much. The biggest issue with Quantum is that it doesn’t stand up well on its own. It’s basically the only Bond movie that requires you to have seen another movie. If you watch it back to back with Casino Royale it feels like a much better movie. Still not not one of the better Bonds, but it definitely helps it. And Spectre is awesome for about the first 2/3 and then it completely nosedives. Very disappointing. the biggest issue with it is... almost nothing happens in the movie. it doesn't stand up on it's own cause it's pretty much 90% padding. and what does happen isn't particularly entertaining.
