Its because the franchise is tired. How many times can Craig’s Bond battle an “inner demon,” go rogue, and then retire/resign from the service? It’s happened in some form of fashion in every movie with Craig. Quantum of Solace was meh. Skyfall was good but overrated. Spectre was a mess and a blown opportunity with Blofeld.

Make Bond Great Again. Craig is 50 years old and has been Bond for almost 15 years. I like him but it’s about time for something new.

They should start completely over with Bond doing a period piece with a mid 20s actor start in the mid 60s going into the end of the Cold War. The last scene would be Bond walking away from the fall of the Berlin Wall with the new designated 007 waiting to assume the reigns.

8-10 movies over the course of 20 years. Kingsman basically gave you the blueprint for the first movie. Atomic Blonde gave you the blueprint for the final movie. Figure it out.

One of the worst ever. The exploding death hotel in the middle of nowhere was absurd. Water? How was stealing and controlling water in an impoverished location a worthwhile plan.

Wasn't even good. Javier was an interesting villain but that was about it. We can't trust anyone so lets go hang out in my dilapadated mansion and call the enemy to us. Oh and we will defend said mansion with almost no weapons and an old man and old lady.

Spectre. Don't have enough space to discuss how bad that was.
