So I guess it's just a question of taste - I prefer the Bond movies which at least remotely make sense.
This one doesn't.
Craig is a decent enough actor - unlike every other Bond except, again, Timothy Dalton, he made it appear believable that Bond had actual feelings back in Casino Royale. And unlike Cannoli, I rather liked Eva Green in that role.

I haven't liked any of Craig's Bond girls, except maybe Moneypenny. I even like Olga Kurilenko in just about anything, but not QoS. And don't get me started on Gemma Arterton.
It's true the plot isn't always too great or coherent, but still Casino Royale or Skyfall were several degrees of magnitude better than many other action movies I could name. Though in fairness, the last Mission Impossible made a surprisingly convincing case for the "screw making sense, nobody cares about coherence" school of film-making.
Nothing in those movies made sense. I thought the politics of Phantom Menace were better than Skyfall or Spectre.

Very true. Noticed the similarities to Rogue Nation as I was watching AgentApple - 11/11/2015 03:30:31 PM 699 Views

The biggest problem with the Craig films is the lack of humour. Rebekah - 17/11/2015 07:40:11 PM 795 Views

THe early Cean Connery ones were not that cheesy random thoughts - 20/11/2015 07:12:45 PM 754 Views
I don't know, I'm inclined to say they're the best ones since Timothy Dalton. Legolas - 21/11/2015 02:49:04 AM 669 Views

Which is another way of saying the series has sucked since the 1980s. Tom - 26/11/2015 04:51:44 PM 716 Views
He's one of the worst Bonds, maybe the worst Sidious - 28/11/2015 10:36:01 AM 662 Views
One of the worst yes, but the worst of all was Lazenby. *NM* Bergioyn - 09/12/2015 06:35:26 PM 425 Views
I'd like to see the next movie kill off James Bond, permanently. Tom - 26/11/2015 04:47:59 PM 721 Views
i generally agree with your analysis Sidious - 09/12/2015 06:46:51 AM 688 Views
Somewhat to my surprise, I find myself agreeing with you on most points. Legolas - 09/12/2015 10:55:46 PM 606 Views
Including the subliminal "Vote Trump" message? *NM* Cannoli - 09/12/2015 11:24:16 PM 445 Views
Er, what? I must've missed that part. Legolas - 10/12/2015 11:37:17 PM 669 Views
