He wasn't terrible but I think he got a load of praise for an average enough performance

Oh yes please

Yeah I hope they bring Quantum back, a lot of the stuff from QoS was left unresolved wasn't it? It annoyed me about Skyfall that Bond is now supposedly a broken down over the hill agent, he was a rookie 00 in Casino Royale ffs I know they're supposed to have a short career but still, CR and QoS were only a short time apart so that's basically the same assignment.

Ya, this frustrated me about it as well.

Skyfall would have been a good way to end the Brosnan era before bringing in Craig, in my opinion.

He was still pretty ripped for someone "out of shape" after arsing around on a beach drinking Heineken for months :pac: I just don't know what direction this will go in, I did think having Bond injured was a good thing, had no issue with that, but showing him as some dinosaur agent after just two onscreen missions was a misstep IMO. If it was Craig's last time in the role then yeah sure, but he's signed on for at least two more isn't he? it was basically Rocky III, Bond got too comfortable and injured, then goes off the radar and in order to defeat his new enemy has to go back to his roots and find the eye of the tiger :pac:

There was plenty to like in Skyfall, made Bond a bit more human, I liked the finale,looked gorgeous, great theme song. But the constant references to the older films got tiring and it undid a lot of the positive stuff that Casino Royale did with the franchise. And some of the plot is absolutely ludicrous, the subway train of doom being the biggest one.

Be interesting to see who will be cast as the villain as Bardem was great in Skyfall, a few other forums seem to suggest Kevin Spacey to unite with Mendes and his career is on the up after his performance in House of Cards

Steve Carell has said he wants to play a Bond villain :P

I'd love to see him pull out a really dark, violent bond villain .

Next Bond will be called 'Devil May Care' after the book written in 2008.

Is it to be based on that novel or just taking the name ?

Have been meaning to read the book for a while now. Shíte title for a book though...

Idris Elba as the antagonist? Would rule him out of being a bond later but he'd be fantastic in both a physical & mental sense. If you cant tell I'm going through a bit of a Luther binge.

Tom Hardy next to play Bond

I'd prefer to see him as a Bond villain

Handsome Bob · 15-09-2013 7:56pm

Not the first time he's been linked to the role. If it happens I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see Nolan helming.

JP Liz V1 · 04-04-2014 11:20pm

Chiwetel Ejiofor top choice to play the villain Source

Great choice, he was a fantastic villian in Serenity.

JP Liz V1 · 14-08-2014 9:14pm

Sam Smith and Tom Jones linked for theme

JP Liz V1 · 29-09-2014 8:18pm

Mark Strong and Rihanna also linked now

To do the theme tune? :pac:

I really wish they'd give Muse a crack at doing a Bond theme, this basically IS a Bond theme

play that music over any recent Bond opening credit sequence, totally suits

1000 times this. Would love it

I won’t accept anyone but Lana Del Rey doing the next Bond theme. Her fragile voice and lyrical obsession with older men, broken hearts and death is perfect for Bond.

Cannot agree enough!!!!!!

Muse would be good though.

kryogen · 30-09-2014 12:44am

Mark Strong yes, Rihanna, no.

The music and opening for Skyfall actually work pretty well in fairness

Class, the music lines up well with that opening

D'Agger · 30-09-2014 9:47am

Rihanna should stick to terrible board game movies

Mark Strong - welcome addition, fine actor

eviltimeban · 30-09-2014 2:03pm

Skyfall represented an "ultimate Bond" movie in many ways - locations, old school villain, action sequences, girls - with some of the new as well.

It was such an embodiment of a Bond movie that both looked to the past and the future. It got me to thinking that it will very interesting to see what they do next. Make it bigger? Smaller? In space???

One thing I don't think we've ever seen is Bond teaming up with another male agent, on a equal footing, for the whole movie, who doesn't turn out to be evil. I think that would be an interesting idea. I know he's everywhere now, but somehow I see Benedict Cumberbatch involved, playing perhaps the mysterious 001 - Bond and he team up and work together to defeat whatever the threat is.

And it would be good if 001 didn't turn out to be evil in the end; that he was good and perhaps flawed with questionable morals but not a bad guy. Someone for Bond to work with and against at the same time. So more of a personality-driven movie.

I loved the London setting of Skyfall but I don't think we'll see that again. Certainly something urban / city based rather than in some faraway location would be good.

What do you think? What would you like to see?

Giruilla · 30-09-2014 2:26pm

I hated Skyfall.. don't think I could even bring myself to watch it again.

Hope they get rid of Craig and bring in someone less uptight and with a bit of charisma. Craig can't pull off suave - and thats what Bond should be. They need to put the fun back into Bond films.

I'd like to a huge supervillian with a base in the next one.

eviltimeban · 30-09-2014 2:38pm

Wow, I feel the opposite. While it took me at least two watches to really like Skyfall, a return to the Bond of old would not be what I'd want.

One thing however that would be cool, were it probably improbably, would be to set a Bond movie in the time the originals were written, ie late 50s / early 60s. Make it a very retro-stylish film, but obviously avoiding any Austin Powers similarities.

Interesting, but I think having Craig set in a late 50's environment would be a bit too jarring for the viewer.
If they really want to make it relevant and modern they should probably have it in the middle east with Bond fighting Islamic terrorists.
The studios have to play it safe though.. Skyfall was the bland equivalent of shopping at Debenhams. There was nothing memorable about it.. total by the numbers action scenes and a villain with a master plan so contrived it was tiring.

Yeah there were serious plot holes, but the saving grace was its London setting and more urban style. I tend to focus on those bits.

Yeah I don't mean it would be Craig in the 60s; it would have to be a different actor, someone who embodies the 60s version of Bond a bit more. But then again you might as well just watch Goldfinger at that rate!
