I'm probably in the minority on this, but it can't be ignored -- all 3 of the Daniel Craig Bond movies have sucked. SkyFall was shyt for the same reason Casino Royale was shyt -- they took what should have been the second half of the movie and made it the first half of the movie. Quantum of Solace was objectively crap; probably one of the worst Bond movies ever made in terms of plot.

No, it's not Craig's fault. It's the writers. How has the writing team that made The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day fallen off so hard? They're so focused on "rebooting" the franchise that they're changing all of the wrong things. Ignoring the Bond girls, the suaveness, the villains, the evil plots...like seriously and just making it about action, sprinkled with angst.

And of course, it fukking kills at the box office. I'm done until with the Bond franchise until they get new writers for this bullshyt. I thought this one would be different -- the "best" Bond villain of all time, they said. Pfft. No. They underused and underdeveloped him just like they underused and underdeveloped Le Chiffre. fukk out of here with this weak-ass franchise. I should've seen Wreck-It Ralph.

Idk whether to agree or disagreee...

On the one hand these movies dont feel like Bond movies and are mad dark.

But on the other hand they are all dark actionpacked shyts that are watchable as fukk

That's because each Bond actor (or series for that matter) represents a different side of Ian Flemming.

If you want to replace main characters with new actors/actress, you dont need dedicated a whole movie to do it, just do it. Thats why skyfall is wack sauce to me.

The new additon of Bond flicks got fukked up by Quantum of Solace.. movie destroyed the whole pace after Casino Royale provided a great set up for the new Bond movies. Havn't seen Skyfall yet.. So I'll have to wait to give judgement on it.
