    Skyfall is his only exceptional entry. QOS and SP are heavily flawed and bottom tier Bonds and CR is both vacuous and generic. I think the Bourne films might be more suited to your tastes.



    Yeah I agree with this.
    Well i think bond is better than bourne it has more class ,and each to his own ....you may not like craig but you are stuck with him as he will do one more ......me personally I am looking forward to seeing him as bond one more time .
    The ones who dont like craig should simply not see the films....maybe wait till 2021 thats when a new actor will take over

    Ok big boy.
    OoooooooOO OOOOOOOOO

    Two words: soft reboot. Start all over again. To the Craig detractors they can imagine that Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre were just a bad dream.

    Yeah I agree with this.

    As we are discussing on this thread http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/47549/bond-25-shooting-news-and-rumours-possible-spoilers/page/8/
    A subjective opinion is just that, do you have inside knowledge that dc is returning? If so then please tell us. As Daniel Craig fan I would also like to see dc do one more, but even if he does I don't think it will be the film we all want. On that basis I am also more than happy to see a new actor and a new direction for the franchise. I like the Bourne series of films but Its just not James bond, Its different, as is mission impossible, enjoy them for what they are, but to compare is them is like comparing a vintage red wine to a Beaujolais nouveau.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    As do I, you do seem very confident Craig is coming back, what have you been reading?

    He's been reading the same things as you and me. The Hiddleston rumour was given teeth in this very thread by someone who does apparently have some inside knowledge. Maybe it was bad information, maybe things have shifted, or maybe it still holds. In any event, lotus appears to just be expressing an opinion/hope.

    Ive come to the conclusion nobody knows sod all :)

    I would have thought if DC knew 100% he was not going to do another then he would have said so

    I'm of the same opinion, to me dc seemed a bit non plussed at the end of sp, but I'm still standing by the thought he'll do 25 if the script floats his boat and won't if it doesn't, like you say if he was definitely done I think he'd have said so.

    My thoughts and opinions are just that: "thoughts and opinions" and of course rooted in the various "news" and "rumors" (and the little green creatures that live inside my head :s ) that are reported. Lotus mentioned "Bourne" in his post. We haven't commented much regarding Bourne lately. As a bit of a postmortem on Bourne and the last Bourne film; it appears that Bourne has had its run. They may make more Bourne films but unless there is some significant change in the trajectory of the storylines, they will basically keep remaking the same film. Whether or not Craig returns (scars on his wrists but much more $$$ in his pockets) or Tom Hiddleston, Aidan Turner, or Mr. Out of Left Field takes over, Bond will march on and make tons of money. Bond is a worldwide cultural icon that is handed down from generation to generation. Bond is our Santa in a Tux who visits every three years. Sometimes he brings us an amazingly great gift, sometimes an ok gift, but always a gift. -{

    All any of us have is opinions and hopes, trying to piece together what little info there is into something tangible :#

    Exactly this, seems Craig just wants to forget about Bond for awhile and do other things.

    Latest news from Italian TV are saying that $150M are making DC reconsidering his decision. :D
    I don't know if it's true but for sure after Spectre he didn't do much and once you got used to such amount of money it's very hard to lower the life standard.

    Daniel Craig will be back
