Bond 25 cast unveiled!
Rami Malek is on a great ride. I think he'll make a great villain. Last Bond film for Craig. Can't wait.

The new Bond girl, Ana De Armas is really pretty. I remember her from the Blade Runner movie.

Mixed emotions for me on this one. Looking forward to the next Bond film; however, disappointed that it will be the last with Craig. He’s excellent as Bond - one if the best in my opinion.

This whole franchise went downhill after GoldenEye and hasn't come back since imo

Absolutely agree; personally, Skyfall is my favorite. While some Craig films are admittedly better than others, I believe, as a whole, brought credibility back to both the Bond character and the franchise. I lost interest with Brosnan, but Craig brought me back.

The first time seeing Bond films in the theater for me, was during the Roger Moore and then Timothy Dalton era. As such, even though many folks think poorly of Dalton - I love those films. I also watched all of the films with Pierce Brosnan in them as I got older and those also strike me as enjoyable. I struggle with Craig as Bond. I think it honestly has less to do with him and more to do with (a) that his films seem to be more of a backtrack to the origins of Bond and that bugs me for some reason and (b) they seem to be much more serious and take themselves much more serious. I liked the slightly kitsch and tongue in cheek attitude of the older films and the newer ones don't seem to have it. Just one man's opinion.

But it's hard to beat the Connery 1 liners, or the Goldfinger villians. And the well thought out plot. |

I think your last line really hits it on the head. They are good movies, but they don't feel like 'Bond' movies to me. Perhaps that is the issue.

Like other people said, the Craig movies is not as fun to watch as other Bond movies. It's way too serious. I am enjoying the current batch of connected Mission Impossible movies much more than Bond now. Starting with Rogue Nation, they have a great story and lots of spy action.

Quantum of Solace showed it all fall apart. The movie was a disaster. Skyfall had a origin story that pretty much mirrored Nolan's Batman. Then a terrible scene at the Bond mansion that was straight out of Home Alone. Spectre was not much better and only served to continue the story. They threw back some of the fun elements from past movies but again, it was derivative - not original. Just look at the Rotten Tomatoes ratings for the movies. The ratings jump all over the place. They just cant get the formula right. Casino Royale - 94% Quantum of Solace - 65% Skyfall - 92% Spectre - 64% I hope they can pull it together for the last Craig Bond movie.

I really hope they can pull off something to top that for the next movie! I thought Rogue Nation was good, then Fallout blew me away. They got some big shoes to fill for the next movie.

Craig is my favorite Bond. Some story line mis-hits along the way, but I still think he’s the best. I hope he goes out on a bad ass high!

Oh, shit... It must take all the makeup in the world. What a hard job for Craig! Is he only 51? Looking like an old man. He should've quit before. A Bond boy should be upcoming. "Second new Bond girl" conveys that rather clearly. Last edited by No one; 04-25-2019 at 11:12 PM.. Reason: Considered another statement. |
