Seriously? QoS and CR were written by the same guys that did (the absolutley abominable) Die Another Day? Did they somehow grow talent in the intervening years?

Well Casino Royale was based on the Ian Flemming novel, so they had something to work with.

I didn't like Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace, so I'm not particularly happy they're making another one.

I'd really rather they just renamed the main character to "Not James Bond". Then I would watch the movies with lesser reasons to nipick.

Well you can't exactly say Bond has been consistant over the years. There is the whole idea that there is no "James Bond" it's just the codename that is taken up by the next guy after the previous 007 retires or dies.

"You Only Live Twice reveals Bond is the son of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond, of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix, of the Canton de Vaud."

You get nothing, you lose, good day sir, although to give you credit it is the only way I think they could potentially explain all this after that pointless and chronological screw up that was mentioning September 11th in Casino Royale...

I must say however as a long time Bond fan that I'm happy a lot of people can see through the new films for the abominations they are; I literally cried throughout the entire film by how god awful it was and how it destroyed what little was left of the franchise remaining from Casino Royale, even if it was the best of all the Casino Royale adaptations so far

Wasn't the first actor (Sean Connery) scottish? Maybe his history is like a nod towards Sean's ridiculous role.

He really just is Generic Action Hero #714 in the past two films.
I don't understand how people think Daniel craig is a good actor. He's got such a flat affect in every movie I've seen him in. This is a sin in a Bond movie, where one of the defining characteristics of the hero is his charisma.

I stand by my previous comments. Daniel craig is the English Keanu Reeves.
