wow I went in with very low expectations and Spectre still managed to disappoint. really glad i didn't waste money in a theater on this trash. I never thought a plot could get stupider than "Bond saves Bolivians from evil water corporation" but spectre managed to turn a classic Bond villain into a complete idiot while having zero story. What a completely and utterly forgettable movie.
A handgun takes down a helicopter? After a weird torture scene that "removes all sense of balance and your memory" Bond goes on a 1 handed killing spree and blows up Spectre's main base with a few pot shots? Even Call of Duty campaigns were better written.
At this point they may as well go all Avengers, summon 5 other mega stars and make a Bond with 001-007 (003 is missing!) and give them superpowers, why the fuck not.
I'm going to have to go watch some classics like Man with the Golden Gun and Goldfinger to erase this pile of shit from my mind. At least the opening scene was really good in Spectre, I guess.

Just watched this, wasn't a fan. I agree it had a lot of Bond elements, but what it felt like to me was that they made a checklist of Bond things and just went down the list writing a scene for each item on the checklist without bothering to fill the rest of the movie with enough plot to tie it all together. I mean, it's not like Bond movies are supposed to be incredibly deep or anything, but at least in Goldfinger the villains had some sort of decent development throughout the movie.

My sentiments exactly haha.
Haven't seen Spectre, almost don't even want to watch it. Time is precious friends.

Daniel Craig is done playing James Bond turns down 69m pounds
thank God, end of the day Craig was not a very good Bond. Casino Royale was a fantastic movie, and it pretty much went downhill after that and everyone absolutely phoned it in, in Spectre.

Said this way back, movie is awful not even worth a rewatch on cable. Not sure where they go from here.
Please don't say this is better then Roger Moore era. I'd rather watch For Your Eyes Only ten times before this shit.

I disagree that he was at fault, overall Craig was an amazing Bond character. The problem was the shitty scripts. I loved his more true to the roots version. He didn't get worse after Casino Royale but the movies sure as hell did. I'm sad to see him go out with such a shit last movie.
Please God, no SJW tuxedo capri trans Bond next. Mimicking CR's tone and direction would be amazing.

CR was all round pretty great. QoS was boring as shit and I have no idea what it was about. Javier Bardem was awesome in Skyfall, rest of the movie was shitty. Spectre was back to QoS levels of "I don't know what's going on because it's so boring, is it over yet?".
If Daniel Craig is somehow under the illusion that Bond was holding his career back he is sorely mistaken.

I think the problem with QoS was that it was half finished. I think there was mention of it supposedly being a two part movie (for profit?), but not sure if the second half was canceled or if it had something to do with the writers strike. They get to the "plot" of the movie when there is 10-15 minutes left.

Daniel Craig was without a doubt the best Bond they ever had and he perfectly played the role of the "elegant thug" as was always envisioned for his character by Fleming.
It's a shame they wasted him so badly in QoS, Spectre and to some extent even Skyfall.
I really liked that they gave all 4 movies continuity, instead of having them as standalone films.

Give QoS a break-- shit came out during the Writer's Strike. Spectre was plain bad though-- can't blame Craig for jumping shark. He obviously wasn't pleased with it given the fact that he half-assed interviews during its post production/marketing. His Casino Royale will always be one of the greatest Bond films of all time.
