It’s a bit like... man, I hope DUMB & DUMBER is a success so that next year GOLDENEYE can be an awesome Bond film!!
Is that a stretch? Well, how about... dude, LEGENDS OF THE FALL better get some great reviews or I’m worried that GOLDENEYE might suck next year!
:) Let’s compare apples to apples.

No gloves here, please. Take them off to fight about Craig elsewhere (like a Spectre thread).
Director announcement will be sometime this month - just my guess.
Not worried, just keenly interested at this point.
When the Farrelly Brothers or Ed Zwick are known to be on the shortlist to direct a Bond film, that might be a valid point to make. I would certainly be hoping that their preceeding film be well-received, even if only for appearances.
Yes!
I don't mind a new director who is not as well established as Mendes was. But I don't want Forster back, for sure.
I'd like Forster back. It's never going to happen, though.
No!
Quantum of Solace was the weakest movie from Craig era as 007.
+1.

I'm afraid so. I used to prefer SP over QoS, but that has definitely changed in the last year or so. My order for Craig's Bond films is pretty set at the moment as: CR > SF > QoS > SP. Right now, all I ask is for a better one than SP, which to me wasn't terrible but still the most lacking for sure of Craig's films.
SP was the first time I left the theatre after watching a Bond film disappointed. Hopefully Bond 25 won't be the same experience.
Guys: Read the story. You will see it is a summary of an Aug. 31 story in The Mirror.
I'm reading nothing because I don't trust any of these tabloids, especially because I'm not buying the notion that EON wanted to kill Bond.

No.
That would be my ranking although I thought SP was atrocious and languishes at no. 24, I know there are worse films in the series like DAD or for me DAF possibly but SP isn't there for that it's there because it had potential for greatness and to me the era and I know this isn't shared by all but for me was pretty on point.
I understand it has issues but hell all the Bond's with multiple entries have issues and Craig's isn't suddenly the only one like some seem to believe has now cornered the market on this.
For me the constant apart from SP is DC, I think he delivers every time although I definitely saw an actor not so engaged in the role last time round but I think he'll back to prove something. So carry on with your negativity those who seem to be thriving on it, you are only going to spur him onto knock it out the park again.
Considering the publicity he got while he was making his entry and he just got on with the job. The difference is the media and it would seem some of the fans are hell bent on believing every picece of BS that turns, newspapers, because it's much more interesting to bad mouth people and run them down and fans do it because they have an agenda and slagging him off and blaming him or EON for it suits that.
Bond 25 will be with us on schedule and it will be a hell of a lot better than SPECTRE.
@peter got it mate, thanks.
Some of us feel more confident in a director based on reputation and ability to succeed in a broad range of areas. I don't care about White Boy Rick either, but when I read that review saying Demange's directorial skills helped make the film better than it should be then that leads to feeling he could take what is already a mess of a Bond production and make something out of it and a fresh take for the series after two films of Mendes.
My point is if someone is going to cite a story and link it, he or she should actually read the story to see if it's actually new or rehashing somebody else's story.
You're missing the point, I think. You're comparing quality of the films and your own tastes, whereas I'm referring to any anticipation/hype a director will bring to a Bond film when they're coming off a recently successful flick.
Exactly. It'd be nice to not care and just focus on the endgame, but I think now it'd be too simplistic to have that approach - especially considering how many names get tossed around.
But White Boy Rick was apparently underwhelming inspite of demange involvement.
