I absolutely HATED both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. They were good action movies, but shitty Bond movies. I was so relieved that Skyfall was excellent and just felt more like Bond to me, and it finally reconciled me with Craig's Bond. I ship 00Q, too, but it really makes me feel a bit alone when I try to talk about Bond in general to my fellow shippers and they only know the Craig movies. I know that especially the old Bonds are kind of cheesy if you watch them now for the first time, but some of them are still damn good. And Brosnan's Bond was just brilliant.

I was actually really disappointed with the Brosnan movies at the time but it didn't have anything to do with him. And now that I've seen them so many times, I can't really even remember what I didn't like aside from the invisible car in Die Another Day and the general crappiness of using BMWs in Bond films at all.

I love the cheesiness of the older movies. That was kind of the point in the Roger Moore era. But I guess maybe if I didn't know them before now I might have trouble with them. I've tried to get some of my fellow Skyfall fans to watch the Sean Connery movies because they were a lot more like Skyfall in terms of cheesiness; it was there but it wasn't the central focus.

I just ordered the Bond 50 blu-ray set from Amazon because it's on sale this week for $130 which is still really expensive but as affordable as I can imagine this set ever being. I think my excitement over that purchase has maybe blinded me to the reasons why new fans wouldn't like the older movies.

Ironically the much derided invisible car is pretty realistic. The basic tech is sound, it just needs a little refinement. You can expect to see real world applications (maybe not to make cars invisible, but certainly to show off and look fantastic and/or silly) within the decade.

The thing people call the most unrealistic is the most realistic part of it.

Skyfall had a couple of very mean spirited jibes (and one particular moment of blatant disrespect too) at the older movies, made worse because it was the anniversary extravaganza too, which ruined it for me. If it hadn't been for that it might have been borderline okay, but as it is. Nah. Also, isn't it about time we got the gun barrel/spotlight opening back? I heard they put it in for some markets, but not on the main release. Until we get that back at the start of the movie then it isn't Bond.

Sounds like you have a very narrow and specific view of what constitutes a Bond movie. You should probably stick to the older ones because Barbara Broccoli has made it clear that they're continuing in the vein of Skyfall.

Craig only has another movie left in his face, two if he wants to risk looking like Moore in View to a Kill, and the production team won't stick around forever. This will be old hat too soon enough.

[(Anonymous)]

Craig has three more movies contracted (two guaranteed and third optioned depending on success of Bond 25). The production team isn't going anywhere because of the very unique way the Bond character rights are held in legal trust.

Daniel Craig's Bond is the most financially successful Bond of all time and the only one whose movies have won major awards. He has many more moves left on his face.
