re: Bond 25 Delayed....Again

I kind of thought that was what the producers/directors were alluding to when they cast Ralph Fiennes as the new M and they put him in the old office of the original M and he said that it was time to get back to work .

It was almost as though it was intimated that 007 was going to be 007 again.

That's what everyone thought. Then instead of slowly introducing Spectre in the next movie, they just vomited the whole thing out there and tried to shoehorn the previous movies into the plot.

Of course the last movie where Bond didn't quit or go rogue was The World Is Not Enough. It's tiring at this point.

Die Another Day: Captured then escaped to go rogue in Cuba
Casino Royale: Disobeyed order and went to the Bahamas. Resigned to be with Vesper after being tortured.
Quantum of Solace: Went rogue after the shootout at the play. Had to rely on Mathis.
Skyfall: Quit after being shot.
Spectre: Went rogue and went to Italy. Resigned/Retired at the end of the movie.

Enough already.

But why did everyone sour on Skyfall? That thing was universally praised when it was released but fan opinion

The movie holds up very well until they get to Skyfall and then you realize that Bond's plan didn't make any sense and that he actually failed his mission.

Spectre would have been a great movie if the villain was just some guy named Franz Oberhauser with no connection to Bond. They had some pretty good action scenes. The whole "I'm going to kill my father and start a worldwide terrorist organization and torment my sort-of adopted brother, if by some chance he becomes a government agent, because my dad taught him mountaineering" angle has a way of really killing a movie.

Is Elba still expected to be the next bond? Haven't kept up with it.

Not to mention Craig had to be dragged back into playing Bond

AFTER clearly mailing it in for the last one.

They had the makings for a great foundation of a franchise villain too.

Instead they had:

“Remember that time you went to the movie rental store only for them not to have that week’s big release? That was me, James; the architect of all your pain.”

Spectre had all the elements of a great movie, but outcome was terrible. Not going down that road.

Skyfall was a great movie. Every great movie has those nitpicking buffoons who want to be that contradicting a-hole no one likes.

I enjoyed casino royale. Quantum of solace was dogshit. Sky fall was fun and had Javier As a gay. I still havnt seen spectre.

Because it’s a fun movie with a rediculous plot

So a James Bond movie?

The Best Bond movies are the new Mission Impossible movies especially Rogue Nattion.

You misspelled Man from U.N.C.L.E.

THe next Bond needs to be a period piece set in the 60s.

QoS was far from great, but it was better than Spectre by a long shot. Stealing a plotline from Austin Powers: Goldmember and having Bond and Blofeld be "brothers" was bad enough. Having Blofeld being a little bitch about not getting enough fatherly love was awful.
