    No more "Bond goes rogue" stories. We've already had this concept featured in at least five of the movies in the last twenty years, and even in one of the most recent novels. It's a good story driver, I'll grant, but it's been overdone and it would be good if Eon kindly put on another record.

    .....things i never want to see or hear in a James Bond film again:-

    Tarzan impressions. (truly cringeworthy)
    Robot Dogs. (childish)
    CGI surfing scenes (sticking a black Jelly baby on a lolly stick...........did not make this scene look realistic in anyway)

    Using pop music in action scenes.............eg California girls in AVTAK pts.

    .......but most of all i never ever want to see shaky-cam, or over editing cuts used on a Bond film again........this solely for me, rendered large parts of QOS being un-watchable, and led to the audience not being given time to fully absorb what was going on.

    A helicopter? ;)

    Think this one's been done now

    James Bond surfing (Die Another Day).

    Poor special effects (Die Another Day).

    Ridiculous miscasting and writing for Bond girl (Die Another Day).

    Agreed can't someone just loose it like they did with the original from GF/TB that went missing in the states. If it appears again I'll scream & scream until I'm sick....and I can.

    And please loose all the extended roles for M, Moneypenny, Tanner & Q....It's about BOND.

    As much as I like the DB5, I think I have to agree. It appearing in more Craig movies than Connery movies is just stupid. I get its timeless appeal (and for the love of god I want one), but its first and foremost a classic car, and it's always going to be associated with the Connery era, no matter how many times Craig tries driving it. If he does it again Craig will be remembered for driving old classic cars instead of more appropriate and modern ones. At least Brosnan realized that and started reducing the DB5's screen time instead of increasing it. I mean, you're just detracting from the memory of the DB5's classic appearances, and you're not being revolutionary or anything in the process.

    Underwater action

    Craig on skis (unlikely since SP has snowbound action and Craig only has one or two films left in him. It's unlikely they'll go snowbound again).

    Bad scripting/scripts that make no logical sense.

    From what I'm hearing, flying objects that possibly appear out of nowhere.

    From DN and GF to SP, I'm tired of Bond being captured by the evil nemesis character just so we can have a showdown - there must be other ways to show a bit of banter that retains Bond's credibility!? LTK was a better take with Sanchez

    This got me.

    I'd have it say bimbo Bond girl.

    Doesn't happen, if you pay attention it makes sense. Too many people were probably busy stuffing their faces with Nachos.

    Now that i agree with........the Bond franchise certainly needs some fresh ideas from other writers!

    But all Bond films are written by committee - everyone seems to have a say.

    I understand that other's may have a say, but SP was scripted by 4 different people, no wonder it feels a little bit disjointed at times.

    - Rogue Bond
    - Aston Martin DB5
    - Bad CGI, no CGI Bonds please
    - Bad dialogue
    - a helicopter
    -the pidgeon
    - Victor Tourjansky
    - Bad female characters
    - a Bond film without the gunbarrel at the start
    - Q - once Ben Whishaw has finished, I like what they're doing with him, and good onscreen chemistry with Craig, but where can you take the character after him?
    - Consecutive Bond films becoming formulaic and predictable - Brosnan's PTS in particular became very samey.
    - Any thoughts of a spin-off series with the leading female character

    1. James Bond in any kind of circus getup. Clown, gorilla or stupid bloody knife-throwing garb of waistcoat and baggy trousers.
    2. James Bond with orange hair because the actor playing him is so old.
    3. A sixty-something Moneypenny flirting with a late-50s Bond. Eeewww!
    4. Sight-gags involving Bond leering at, or zooming in and out on a lady's boobs.
    5. Shitty dialogue looping so that the cast speak with their mouths closed.
    6. Terrible back projection.
    7. Bond known all over the world, by hoteliers, diamond smugglers and police chiefs as a "secret" agent, nudge nudge, nod, wink.
    8. Bond saying, "Pull your men out commander, your mission is complete!" (If I was a space marine I'd have fucking nutted him just for saying that).
    9. Anything involving "space-based weapons" or EMP.
    10. Any ending where Bond plus squeeze are "caught at it" just as the PM tunes in.
