This is debatable; MI has set the gold standard for stunt and physical acting. While the motorcycle chase in Skyfall are well done, with the exception of the pasted on faces, they don’t hold a candle to what was done in “Rogue Nation” and Fallout.
Across the board, the work done on the MI films is more consistently superior in quality. The have nothing as dismal as the car chase with Hinx.
And as far as best rated, like these posts, they’re just opinion, particularly if found on YouTube.
Gold standard have when stunts & stories have some originality not copy paste from other Films, most of mi scenes themes are copied from bond and other films. I have said this before as well comparing bond's worst (hinx) with mi's best is not fair. Fallout helicopter chase was dumb when it compares to Spectre. Pasted or not that stunt stand out because it was not same old chase on plain roads. They tried to make something unique out of it by taking a bike chase to the rooftop. Opinions which are stated above are with some Reasons. I would rather see a stuntman performing an excellent stunt rather than an actor doing an average one.
As far as copying from Bond, that accusation is made far too often; it’s like saying that one western ripped off on other because they both used horses . Broadly speaking, so many films, of any genre, have been made at this point, that it’s possible to site a similar scene in s previous film . To imply that one group of filmmakers copyied something from another film is presumptuous. I strongly doubt if the MI crew set out to intentionally to copy Bond; if thy did, in most cases they improved upon it.
This is why, as has often been discussed here, the Bond organization has to up its game; as of late they are being outshined.
Their scripts tend to be mauled by directors that aren't good writers, that's the truth. Now imagine someone like Fukunaga, who is a decent writer to say the least, getting his hands on a P&W ideia. Could turn out brilliant.
Another link which shows how rogue nation ripped a lot from Spectre script which was leaked in 2014
Agreed first one was ok but rogue nation was the only one I liked. Bourne series were groundbreaking whose theme was followed a bit in QOS as well.
I certainly hope so and looking forward to what fukanga will bring in terms of action sequences will he go for a traditional or something completely fresh approach.
The Fast and Furious franchise has already jumped that shark (or nuclear submarine, as the case may be) and I think Bond (under a thoughtful director) will be well served to use good action carefully rather than trying to crack us over the head with it.

I suspect that if he's in LA, he must be casting the film whilst working on the script. I think official pre-production is happening in London, so I'm a little nervous that Fukunaga isn't here in the trenches.
But perhaps there is a particular reason we aren't overly privy about yet. I can only speculate that he's meeting with possible cast members.
I hope so we have been in the dark for so long about bond 25 that it's time we had substantial casting news.
As I said before, with Skyfall, we had rumors of Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes long before any announcement.

Another thing is can anyone from the cast of knives out or someone Cary worked with will join bond 25
Count me in love to see him in bond 25 either as villan or any role.
I'd love Christopher Plummer as the villain also after watching the final season of house of cards I would be welcome to the idea of robin wright as the villain even though that season kinda was disappointing blame Kevin Spacey for his mistakes.
In Bardem's case, he confirmed it in a TV interview months before the official film announcement.
