That's pretty much what happened with QOS. I suspect it will be a much smaller bunch for Bond 23.katied wrote: There will be a bunch of fans that see it its first weekend.Then the word on it will get out and it'll be out of the movie theaters so fast it's not even funny.

Re: Craig unsure over Bond future
Yeah, WE know that but the general public doesn't. They will go see it regardless. THEN of course there's word of mouth, there's critics, and there's, more than that, LOTS Of competition, so I'm not saying it's going to do particularly well at all. But, I do think at least on opening day people will go see it. Again, with the competition they have they will have trouble getting people in theaters in the first place, BUT it's Bond, and the other ones open the week after if I'm not mistaken? So first weekend they should be ok.Thunderpussy wrote:" DC's Bonds are not Bond Movies "
Unless the movie is phenomenal (which I can't see with Mendes as the director and Logan as the screenwriter) I think that will most likely be the case. I just do NOT want the franchise to tank, but they really need to learn a lesson IF they repeat the same stuff they did in QoS (or another CR, sorry but that one doesn't sit well with me either, it's the most boring Bond movie EVER made. And again, there's no Bond in it. I'm re reading CR just for the hell of it... and to get even more angered at what they did with Craig's NON Bond.) I'm at chapter 2 and I'm furious already.That's pretty much what happened with QOS. I suspect it will be a much smaller bunch for Bond 23.

Do I still respect this guy as an actor yes but his bond and this reboot can go and jump in a pool full of maneating piranas along with half of eon.
I don't think Craig will do Bond 24 unless the situation for MGM remains the current and they can't pay him out of his contract (and, he changes his mind about only doing three, in which case he'd do it for the money. Nothing wrong with it, let it be clear). I'm pretty sure this will end his "trilogy". Then of course there's always the possibility Bond 23 sets record income, but I honestly can't see that happening, especially not with the movies Bond will be up against.
If the piranhas helped kill vesper bond might jump in the tank and try to punch one of them in the face because eons good at that) and occasionally be seen gasping for air gettiing up and strangling a small plastic piranah in his hands before he uses his hands to bring him back down into the tank because they ran out of cgi and he had to improvise.
Bond finally meets quantum and their true intentions are finally revealed, their intentions are (drumroll)....to up the price of fish and chips by 30 pence (insert evil laughter), angry that his food will cost a bit more even though he's rich anyway bond goes to sort them out, then later goes to save the rainforests for some reason and picks a fight with a bear because he's bored, then throws a brick at russell crows head and the 2 duke it out and both end up dead.

Re: Craig unsure over Bond future
Oh Lord, shakenotstirred. You just gave them the whole plot for the next movie
Now seriously... I don't have anything against Craig as an actor per se or him as a person least of all, so even I feel bad for him thinking about what he had to deal with in QoS. If it's another awful movie with Bond 23, well pretty much this will guarantee he sticks with his intention to do three movies. But I would honestly feel bad for him if his last one was another ridiculously bad movie like QoS.

Re: Craig unsure over Bond future
FBF I honestly don't think ti will do particularly well in the US. DC is not popular there to begin with and even QoS didn't do well. With the competition there is lined up, I don't think Bond 23 will manage to get all that attention. It will sure get the usual amount, as it is a Bond movie, but I doubt it'll do a lot more than that.FormerBondFan wrote:Let's hope Bond 23 fails to grab attention, especially in the US market.Ale wrote:Oh Lord, shakenotstirred.

Re: Craig unsure over Bond future
He doesn't have either the age or the contract to be able to do that. And he doesn't want to do more than three. It will be a miracle, and I really mean a miracle for him, not for us, if he does Bond 24 (and I believe that may happen just and only if MGM is still in a ridiculously bad financial situation by then, which means they won't be able to buy him out of his contract, and they will just honor the current four-picture deal).Craig007 wrote:He will make at least three more.

Three more "You must be Joking!" he looks like a pensioner now, even Moore in AVTAK looked younger. I've accepted the fact we seem to be stuck with him for One more, Then please can we have Bond Back.

Daniel Craig would make a good Louis if a movie version of the Taxi TV series was made.
