That's not going to happen. I'm sure they are going to try to reinvent the franchise again and hire the right director for this. A reboot has been done now. So that's off the table. But still digging into the character of Bond (they struck gold with this), is an option.
Fingers crossed for David Arnold.
Absolutely, I really enjoyed SP placing it as Craig's second best. You don't make an $900 million grossing 'bad' movie that often.
He's become a punchline around here, but I do think Turner is the best choice for Bond #7. I don't want Hardy as Bond, in fact, I would rather see Hiddleston as Bond than Hardy.
Exhibit A: The Transformers series.
Craig got to have longer breaks between the films though and expand on his creative talents from working on other productions. Maybe if he were making Bond flicks every two years, he would have bailed earlier.
I fail to see how that's sour grapes. I congratulated the Craigites for guessing correctly. Just be careful what you wish for, I guess.
Just because some of us wanted Craig back doesn't make us all "Craigites."
Exhibit B: Titanic
Ah, that rare sound - the voice of reason.
Well, your whole post essentially reads, "Congratulations, but watch out, cause chances are it'll suck like I'm super sure it will!" Everyone here knows what you really wanted, and have wanted for the past two years, so it's normal to feel a bit bitter about how things have gone. Inevitable, really. When fantasy is tricked into being reality it is brutal when that reality shows cracks for oneself.
I stand corrected. :D
And I completely forgot the most over rated polished turd of them all.

He looks in great shape. Probably could do 3 more Bonds!
I guess if Craig has confirmed this will be his last film, essentially EON could by right also be scouting for Bond number 7. Not that they don't have a list of potentials on hand already. It's not like they don't test actors out from time to time. They've even admitted as such in interviews.
I think Turner is credible but happy to let Craig's Bond tie off his personal issues that are currently threatening world domination
I was just adding a measure of caution to precedings. I think its important we stay grounded and not let ourselves get carried away. I hate to be a killjoy, but I just don't see the rationale in hyping up the final Craig film when its clear that no lessons have been learned. The Bond franchise is basically the "keep Craig happy" train at the moment, and that won't stop until there's a new actor. There needs to be a power shift before things can get better. Handing Craig more and more control simply isn't working, but that's what they are intent on at the moment, so its safe to assume the results will play out like they have been. There's far more logic to a cautious approach at this stage, rather than throwing a party because Craig will have his face on the poster.
Yes, I liked SP a lot then. I said it was an 8/10 film. What's your point?
Then they don't have to rush things and go for the flavor of the month.
Maybe, but he didn't. He'll be the longest serving Bond come B25 and I stand by the fact nobody saw that coming back in '05.
Yes but this is the movies not the 'real world'. Bond has never been a plausible secret agent. The character is total fiction. A fantasy world.
Le Carre puts it well.

I have none, just wondering what happened to make you abandon your enthusiasm:
Bond is still a human being, not Superman or a Jedi or whatever. Bottom line I wouldn't want him to be like Captain Picard at the end of Nemesis.
That said I'm happy Craig returns for one more.
The script has to be top notch, with really good dialogue and character moments. A few big action set pieces are all that's required to keep me happy.
I can live with Waltz coming back, although I'd prefer if he wasn't the main villain because I'm done with his shtick. The only character and actress I'd rather not see again is Lea Seydoux as Madeleine Swann.
I hope this film is a critical success. Not for Craig necessarily (as I've said, to me the actor is just a transient), but for the future of the franchise.
I remain quite surprised about how and when the announcement was made and how it transpired after what was said earlier in the day.
