I agree with this.
I totally get where you're coming from here. I actually felt this with SF. I always felt that with SF Mendes sort of dumped all the good work of CR and QOS and started heading back towards a greatest hits type approach. Dodgy one liners, cuff popping, MP and Q shoe-horned in and the damn DB5 back again.
I think the thing that saves the Craig era is that even when he's not 100%, Craig is just an infinitely better Bond than Brosnan ever was. Also, there's a seriousness and quality of production on SF and SP that blows the Brosnan films out of the water.
SP is for me also still a much more enjoyable Bond film than SF, which I thought was totally overhyped.
Maybe let Craig do another if people really want it. But using the power of extrapolation I assume it will be bad. The last of an era is always a bad one, that's why it's the last one. And then people will be saying that Craig was the one who did "two good films, but three bad ones".
Are you assuming that people here are making assumptions, @Murdock? You know that never ends well. :D
I'm not assuming anything, the writing is on the wall. :))
BB likes those types of Bonds ...they feel brings the audience into the film.
They have forgotten that when they made GE they knew the audience wanted the old style Bond back. I remember reading her saying that.
Oh snap!!! GE did have a personal angle...albeit someone we never heard of ...kinda like the doomed new member of every Star Trek away team lol.
Oh stop please! Craig's tenure has not been wasted. He starred in two of the most successful by movies of all time, critically and financially, and in two other movies that had average to decent reviews. Just because you didn't like most of them doesn't mean you represent most Bond fans in regards to Craig.
Except when it calls itself today.
I'm stating my opinion and I didn't ever claim to represent how most Bond fans feel. Take a chill pill and have a lie down.
...and sounds much better anyway. Lies just sounds 'off'.
My hope is that Bond 25 will be a good faithful adaptation of YOLT, but it would have to have some ingenious twists to it. I.e. maybe something like Madeleine getting killed but not quite, something original and not cliche. A clever adaptation of YOLT in the vein of the clever adapting of Holmes' work for the BBC's Sherlock would be great. However, this would mean Bond's stepbrotherness to Blofeld would still be in the background ...
First time I've heard that one. It's almost universally agreed upon that "Lies" sounds better and is more fitting to the actual story. It's not about Carver's newspaper company being unable to be destroyed, its about the sincerity of the newspaper company.

Didn't we know that already?
Sam Smith also said that he hadn't made the title song for SPECTRE.
That said, I really hope Hiddleston his saying the truth. He would be totally miscast as Bond.
Probably wise. No public figure feels the slightest compunction these days about lying brazenly.
