That is exactly what I'm saying.
Skyfall wasn't for sure my ideal for a Bond movie, far from it, but it was WAY and I mean WAY better than both QoS and CR (at least for me), which is an encouraging sign for the future, in my opinion. With a new actor and more of the "back to traditional elements" (they did bring back some traditional elements in this one) we may be back to a normal setting and actually seeing James Bond on screen. What I like the most about this, anyway, is that I've seen heaps of comments on Twitter from people who said they want Cavill as the next one, after seeing Skyfall. Especially younger audience. So that is a very good sign.
It is his best of the three he has done I was telling Sweeney this takes a piss on CR and QOS, really no point to either of those movies. Or him. And he gets so much of who Bond is wrong.
Absolutely right, Mazer.

It is true also that DC does genuinely look a lot older in this film, and it certainly didnt help that he was given a very un-suitable haircut for this film. In fact, i'am not being funny but i think i look more like Bond than he does!
EA
ps: i know the end of the film is a little unusual...but i thought it was very well done!
So glad we agree, EA. And LOL I am quite sure you DO look more like Bond than he does. The looks he has in this movie are really BEYOND bad for Bond. It's just not James Bond. And I agree with you about the ending, it was well done, albeit unusual. What I'm deeply dissatisfied with is the female roles in the movie. Just... no
BJ, this Q with a younger Bond may work, though he's still not my ideal for the character. But I think if Cavill was Bond, it wouldn't look so odd as it does with Craig looking 100 years old!
Sweeney, yes I did think it was a BIG improvement from the previous ones. And yes, they may have done it on purpose, but I've seen papz photos of Craig from last week I think, and he still looks awful

ON top of it, even if they did it on purpose, that's just not the way James Bond is supposed to look (not to mention I really find him very lacking in the "class" compartment... you can't buy it, you either have it or you don't)

But that said, I do agree this was a far better movie than the previous two (not that it takes much to improve from QoS, but still, if I'm saying what I'm saying you know I mean it

)
I do think people here should be happy because they clearly DID listen to some of our biggest complaints (like EA said, STOP doing Bourne, this is James Bond, for example). With a new actor who is suitable for the role, things may greatly improve and we may finally be happy with Bond again.
