Yet it's similar; both Fleming Foundation and EON want to hire cachet name writers/directors who do just the one, for that short term flurry of interest. Hence Faulks, Deaver, Boyd... Apted, Tamorahi (up to a point), Forster, Mendes...
Mendes...lol! He's not suited for action movies and should stick to character-driven dramas.

I doubt it. I have been a hard-core Bond fan since Dr. No and I believe I have a firm appreciation for what makes a good Bond film, although of course my opinion is subjective just like all others. But I can assure you that I don't romanticize or get "fooled" into believing that I saw something good that in reality was "rather poor". I enjoyed all three Daniel Craig Bond films to some degree, although Quantum of Solace was disappointing, especially as a follow-up to Casino Royale, which to me is one of the top Bond films in the series. Although I don't think Skyfall is quite on par with CR, it is most definitely an entertaining, well-made Bond film that I believe will stand the test of time quite well.
Yes. I suspect in 10 years time we'll look back on SKYFALL (on Craig's entire tenure???) as over-praised guff that fooled a lot of people and received glowing reviews on its release when really it was rather poor.
A bit like DAD's viewed now....
+1 agree with this. Casino Royale will hold up well. Skyfall will be seen as way overrated. Quantum of Solace will always get very mixed reviews. Those are my predictions anyway....

+1, although I'd rate SF above CR.
