Nothing to fix. It's always a clean slate if they want it, old or young.
Exactly, so why do you think they're so determined down a certain path?
If you think there's nothing to fix with the course they have taken the last two films then you and I have really very different ideas what makes a good (Bond) movie.
I don't at all. They can go with Craig or start over. It really doesn't matter to me. They have the ability to pull either off.
To me the main ability producers should have is to have a coherent vision of their intended product and they haven't shown this for quite some time. Come to think about it
,not in this century.
Sure CR is one of the better Bond films. But they need to deliver with Craig's fifth or his era will widely be regarded as subpar.
And as a disheveled mishmash of ideas.
EON adapt. Always have. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Their main job is to put together a team that can craft a film that makes everyone a shedload of cash. Job done. Blame the director if you take issue with the 'vision'.
Mishmash of Ideas? Maybe at times. But what we have here sure us a rather illogical mishmash of opinions at times.
@Blofeld: Out of shape? Judging that by what exactly? Other then being your usual hater?
@Barry: Tired? Of course, it can be your impression, but...really? To me, he looks pretty rested here and I am not saying that always, since he doesn't always.
To me his eyes look tired but you are more up to date about him than me...what's the next work project he has lined up by the way,or is there a window for a while for him ?
Craig in 2019 can work and considering what Babsy might have next in store for a Bond actor we may just want Craig forever and a day. Because it can get worse, definitely.
It's time for a new start.
Agreed.
Rather they just move on, but if they must go back to well one more time for the old dog continuity routine then so be it. They'll have to be careful though, because it will timeline 'date' Bond.
In YOLT the organisation is spent and Blofeld has gone full on bat shit. Completely workable for a Craig film.
Garden of Death I can fully accept,but can SPECTRE really be spent after 1 Bond film ?
Yeah. SP insinuates they've been across 4 films. Whether we accept that is up for debate, but it's a decent excuse to can it and go down the Bond vs. Blofeld route. Either way, I never wanted SPECTRE back, so if a new actor steps kick it off with new villains, and if Craig returns it's viable to have ESB be a lone wolf.
Spectre (the movie) already finished off Spectre (the organization) and Blofeld.
No it didn't. Blofeld didn't die and Spectre wasn't disbanded.
Eon is always pivoting.
Quality isn't always reflective of quantitative success. DAD was a financial hit but it's a shit Bond movie. The transformers movies is a multi billion dollar franchise and those movies are garbage.
No, they didn't spend all that money in buying Spectre back not to continue to use it.
They can go down any path they see fit.
After YOLT we get Majesty's where Bond seemingly should be recognised by Blofeld. Or DAF where Tracy is not mentioned once.
Due to the popularity of Star Wars we got Moonraker, despite the end credits of TSWLM claiming FYEO was the next film. Just because some perceive a storyline is being followed, or a style of film will be prominent in Bond 25 doesn't necessarily mean it will. Fine to speculate, but till its confirmed.
Craig could come back and the film could take any path it desires. If it's appealing and entertaining then audiences will lap it up regardless. They don't dissect Bond films the way fans do. If it makes money, then EON have done their job.
EON don't adhere to any timeline, they make movies to entertain and make money.
