Feel like I've been living under a rock, didn't he want to quit? Wasn't there like an article that said he'd rather slit his wrist instead of doing another Bond movie?
Yes I've been living under a rock
Daniel Craig confirms he will play James Bond again | Film | The..
He was under contract for five so unless they fired him he was gonna have to do another one. Not to mention Spectre would have been a low note to go out on, so he probably wants to end his tenure with a better film.
Spectre was good as a closure on Craig's Bond saga, IMO.
You can't really top Bond not killing Blofeld and letting him rot in prison instead in a series where all he does is kill. That and Mi6 burning down so new missions are next to impossible unless we got the Mission Impossible route and just have him go rouge.
I dunno, I think beige is more his colour
Too bad it wasn't good as a movie
I literally don't remember anything about Spectre. Like that's how forgettable it was.
spectre after skyfall was such a backwards turn for the franchise.
worse than quantum of wallace.
I really loved skyfall and casino royal but good lord the other two were forgettable garbage, so yea I'm all for them taking one more stab at this so they can end things on a high note. Fingers crossed it all works out cause the production troubles that have been plaguing this project so far aren't particularly encouraging lol.
shatterhand because bond gets osteoporosis on account of being a fuckin geriatric
I'm in the vast, vast minority but I never found Craig very compelling as Bond. I think the only one I enjoyed was Skyfall.
Spectre was just so fucking weird, it had the brains of an 80s action romp, but it was fitted with this crazy cinematic flair that was almost pretentious. Very beautiful movie, written by a five year old (Or, more likely, by fairly competent people, made to juggle ten thousand studio demands)

dumptrucks upon dumptrucks of money can keep a person tied down counting the money. Its actually a shame they had to let brosman go because he'd have still been at it but he made no sense in the post 911 era
he's been james bond for WAY too long..
weird because quantum of solace was a much smarter version of spectre
Not to mention the out of place and dated side plot about government surveillance.
I wouldn't really call it out of place, the entire franchise is about our intelligence agencies with some fantasy fluff after all. But it did feel a bit dated despite still being massively important. Government surveillance is still a huge issue, but it's not a hot button topic right now.
Spectre is enjoyable enough a watch. But I really don't care for it as much as I did Casino Royale or Skyfall. Skyfall in particular as Javier Bardem really Javier Bardem's it up and plays a genuinely interesting villain compared to some of the other dorks this run of Bond films has had. The fact that Blofelds' entire character can be summarised as "AHA! It was me all along James!" and nothing else really killed my interest in him as a villain.
I agree, it's important but handled poorly in Spectre. MI6 should have been all for such a program given their nature and the conflict should have come from either Bond or someone else within the agency being opposed due to the possibility of its abuse (perhaps by an organization like SPECTRE or Quantum), not the entirety of MI6 being against a bearded upstart who's an obvious villain. That's what made it feel so dated to me. What could have been a clever look at surveillance was a hamfisted, black and white, obvious take on the whole scenario.
Nothing will be as bad as Die Another Day, though, so it's still all good
There are plenty of Bond films worse than Die Another Day, two of which happen to be Craig's films sooooo....
Is the title because Bond goes girl-less for this instalment?
You take that the fuck back, Quantum of Solace and Spectre have their problems but they are no where near as bad as that clusterfuck.
Nah, I'll stick to my Golden Guns on this.
