I think I'm increasingly inclined to believe this too, with the slight correction that I consider it a solid 20 EON Bond films, with NSNA looking more solid than any of the Craig ones as far as I’m concerned.And if nothing continues to happen, I’ll be fine with it. Leave it at a nice solid 25.
If you didn’t like the Craig era, I guarantee you’ll hate whatever reboot happens.
I’m so tired of all this that it’s hard to get excited, or even that curious anymore, about anything new they come up with.
Mission Impossible has shown that excellent spy action movies of the sort we like can still be made, but well, I consider that franchise an exception, an anomaly, that bucks the current trends in movie making.
You may know I like the early Terminator films. I think what’s happened to that franchise is relevant to the future of Bond. With Terminator they keep trying to make successful sequels, but they keep having disappointing results, and it seems to be something to do with them feeling torn between trying to invoke nostalgia for the first 2 films (well really just the second one) and trying to appeal to newer audiences and tastes. With action films you can’t possibly please all possible viewers at once. Cubby got pretty close though.
