Skyfall was two and half hours of mind torture and had a nonsense plot and character development garbage. Quantum of Solace at least finished the film in less than two hours and didn't have time for wimping out.

One of the things that bugs me about the Craig films is that Babs stated that they are begining a new styled 007 and that the BOnd we know and love wouldnt work in this day and age. Yet they continue to make refrences and nods to the original films and they still use the original Bond theme. Its obvious EON misses the classic styled 007, they just dont want to do it because of Babs.

EON and Babs don't want to put any effort into their movies. They want to slap together a generic action/Bourne rip off and shoe horn a few references to the older Bond films and call it Bond. But what it takes to make a classic Bond movie is effort, it takes effort to stay true to the source material and tell a new and interesting story like they used to. The sad thing is EON doesn't make any other movies but Bond so you would think with all that time on their hands and all the money they invest in to a single project they would try to make the best product they can, but that takes work! And apparently they are adverse to that!

Die Another Day was actually done to kill off the manly Bond, and as the critics at the time would criticize the "ridiculous" CGI-based surfing scene, which I actually had no problem with, bashed the movie. It brought lots of money to the industry, but as Babs HATES Classic Bond, because she's a bloody feminist and so-called "independent" woman whose views on the original Bond are dirty, she sees him as a "sexist dinosaur, relic from the cold war", she just have put in M's mouth to spit it out. And then, she created the politically correct sissy who would take crap from women even worse when they are "inferior agents". Notably, the train scene from Casino Royale. Skyfall was the very same! They say they don't want Classic Bond anymore, yet they make homages to it. And don't get me started on that Ben Dishwater!

There's only one thing I could tell. If Bond wouldn't be a sexist and macho secret agent, who's extremely competent and self-confident professional "b-a-s-t-a-r-d", and of course politically incorrect, then it's not Bond. They're doing daddy's business all wrong. And what the hell is wrong with Michael G. Wilson? He used to write good scripts back in the 1980s. Now, he's backed down because his so-called stepsister blackmailed him probably, and takes care of everything by herself now as if it's her franchise and her own creation. The more pathetic it becomes when some people support her bloody feminism and this current wussy character who's exactly opposite the James Bond we knew.
