Hell yea! Give me another movie like Skyfall and Craig will go down as the best Bond.
Well...Sean Connery is great...so maybe not... But he'll at least be number 2!

Excellent.
Truly the best of the Bond's.
Hopefully the next film has a better writer than the previous two.

Like I've said in another thread, they need to Logan this final Craig chapter and strip it back down to bare essentials and brute force like in Casino Royale. Have him be retired and then hunted. Put him through absolute hell and give him a real struggle and battle of wills with a worthy opponent, someone just like him.

Spectre was a dud, but Casino Royale and Skyfall were easily top 5 Bond films of all time, so I'll allow this.

I was hoping for a Blofeld trilogy (and for him to tie Roger Moore for second most films) but oh well, here's hoping he goes out on a high note
Except don't make it gratuitously violent like Logan.

noooooooooo. I thought they'd go for Nolan directing a new Bond. :{{
Well, it was weird. Cause it was fine, but the last 4th of the movie, i legit thought he was like brainwashed or taken over by a clone or something. He really did seem like he didnt give a fuck and something was wrong. I was actually really surprised when it turned out nothing was wrong and he was just Bond. Even the story seemed to build in some doubt as to what was up with him.

Never saw Spectre. What was so bad about it? Loved Casino Royale and Skyfall. Quantum was fine but forgettable.
It was fine for the most part but there were some bizarre plot twists and acting problems that made it seem uneven. Not a disaster but about on the same level of quantum.
Everything. Story didn't make any sense, even for a Bond film, Blofeld was dumb and completely wasted, same for Moneypenny, who seemed like a somewhat interesting character in Skyfall, lots of the dialogue was ridiculous -- and it had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Craig just keeps trolling away like what gain does he get for trolling us lol

It better be one hell of a high note. That Jackie Chan+Pierce Brosnan movie by Martin Campbell is done, bring back the Casino Royale director.
Don't need a trilogy, they just need to open it like
. Especially after that sappy ending in SPECTRE.

I think you're right in that they are about even, I would say where Quantum is more structurally sound it's also terribly middling and forgettable.
Quantum of Solace is already my least favourite Bond film, so from where I'm standing, Craig's already got that locked down, no matter how good or bad the next film is.
I haven't seen the last two, though, but I remember hearing a lot of praise for Skyfall.

Those movies weren't good because he directed them
They were good because they're the two best scripts the series has gotten since in the past 20+ years.

Yep, he's the GOAT Bond in my book. It will be nice to see him in the role he was born to play one final time.
Bobby Roberts

He's still my favorite Bond and I've seen em all.
Let's Do the Rankings Bit, Yeah? Yeah.
1) Craig
2) Dalton
3) Connery
4) Brosnan
5) Lazenby
6) Moore

I would put Connery above Dalton personally but other than that I agree with your list.
Bobby Roberts

Yeah, those two are really close.
Moore is absolutely better than Brosnan. Same act, more charisma.
I dunno about all that, but he's definitely better than Lazenby.
Bobby Roberts
Banned
Can't agree. Brosnan and Moore are absolutely the two Bonds most similar to one another, but Brosnan does everything Moore did well better, and does none of the things Moore did poorly anywhere near as poor.

Moore? Charisma? If anything it was creepy watching this tubby 60 year old Mack on women 1/3 his age. Shit still makes me uncomfortable.

I honestly never saw him lasting this long as bond. shame he has quantum of solace and spectre on his resume

Brosnan has far more charisma than Moore ever did. He actually has the face and body to pull off suave but clever and pithy.
Moore was just a doughy out of shape buffoon by his runs end.

It's honestly just a lazy, tepid, paint by numbers Bond film with a stupid Blofeld plot.
And the whole last act is just nails bitingly boring.

Quantum isn't even bottom 10 Bond.

None of Craig's Bonds hit the bottom ten.
Two of em are Top 5, arguably.
Only Connery could maybe say the same about that top 5, but Connery also has at least two in that bottom 10, maybe even three.
You guys think Craig doesn't give a fuck, you should get a load of Connery starting with Thunderball

You Only Live Twice is legitimately embarrassing to watch. Pitiful performance and a wretched film.
All of them check out by the end cept Dalton for obvious reasons, but my Lord was that the worst. And nobody in show bidness half asses it like Sir Sean Connery.
