Just under 5 days until Warfighter. I'm so psyched.

As for "Skyfall", it has the potential to be good, but I feel like too much of the hype comes from the fact that Sam Mendes is directing. Mendes is a director whose entire reputation rests on one movie - "American Beauty". Every movie he's made since has never lived up to the hype that is inevitably thrown at it (I am not such a huge fan of either "The Road to Perdition" or "Jarhead"). Plus, I think this whole practice of putting "artsy"/indie directors at the helm of Bond movies is a very bad idea, and I think "Quantum of Solace" epitomizes why. Bond films tend to be far better in the hands of directors who are far more concerned with staging exciting action scenes than making pretentious Oscar-winning "art". Does anyone think it's just a coincidence that the two best Bond films of the last 20 years - "GoldenEye" and "Casino Royale" - were both directed by Martin Campbell, whose entire resume consists of no-frills action cinema? I seriously wish that they'd just admit that he's the best director to happen to 007 in a long time, even if he'll probably never win an Oscar for his work, and give the franchise back to him.

And while we can argue about the results, I give the producers credit for trying to keep the franchise fresh.

QOS was a bit weak but i wouldnt say it sucked as bad as everyone said, it was a fun enough movie to watch, just made you mad when you know craig can do so much better.
Casino Royale as awesome.

I liked The World is Not Enough ad Tomorrow Never Dies, and Goldeneye is my all time favorite Bond movie.
As a literary geek, I love the idea of Daniel Craig as Bond, but have yet to be impressed by the execution of said idea.

Part of me looks at all the people who criticised Craig for wearing a life jacket when he was brought to the official announcement to the press that he had the role, and wants to go back and say "So by extension you're criticising the Royal Marines who're with him for the same thing then?"
Yes, doubt the badass-ness of some of the hardest soldiers in the British military for something arbitrary.

As for keeping the franchise fresh, this is a case of not all progress being good. My intuition is that the franchise is better served by directors who have demonstrated adeptness at directing quality summer action films rather than Oscar bait. Martin Campbell is exactly that type of director; Marc Forster and Sam Mendes are clearly not.

With the exception of Moonraker or perhaps Octopussy, I couldn't stomach any of the Roger Moore films.
That being said, I liked both of the Timothy Dalton films.
