you making a new point.... your original point was people liked the new bond more and the box office proved itCompletely disagree with that. Casino royale made the least amount because it came after die another day and because people weren't sure about Craig. But it's also the most critically acclaimed next to skyfall. Quantum of solace made a lot of money because if followed casino royale not because of how great it is. Skyfall had the hype and the strong word of mouth along with it being the anniversary. And spectre followed skyfall.
Casino royale was a gamble but even on this board it's hard to find someone who dislikes it. It's not about people disliking the card scenes or the character stuff and more about people not being sure what they were getting at the time.
looking at the box office... you would come to the conclusion that marketing gadgets and more action, led to better sales... even tho the top 2, are the worst 2 rated
again... people who like movies, like the first one the most... imdb ratings prove that
the masses watched the last 2 more, even tho critics and movie goers said they were shyttier... why? cause action and explosions
