    I think it's a good, self referential title.

    So far Daniel Craig is 2/4 on James Bond movies. Before Skyfall came out, I went back and rewatched all of them in order to fill in the gaps since I hadn't seen one or two. Honestly, most of them are pretty bad. A lot of them have held up pretty poorly. So 50% isn't too bad an average for a Bond run.

    Who does everyone else think the best James Bond is? I like Timothy Dalton's portrayal of the character the most and it's too bad he only did two of them due to rights issues.

      Connery is the obvious choice, and he is very good. Dalton I think would have done much better with better films but y'know, the 80s...

      Craig is very meh for me.

      Best Bond movie is still Casino Royale. The first one.

        How does Blofeld not recognize Bond immediately? They've met before (as seen in the previous films). It does lend credence to the theory that James Bond is a codename used by many different secret agents over the years though.

    Quantum of Solace was pretty bad, but I really dislike Skyfall. So. Freaking. Much.

    Let's look at the timeline in the Craig Bond movies:

    1. Casino Royale: new Bond, earning his 00 status;
    2. Quantum of Solace: Supposedly continues the story right where we left off;
    3. Skyfall: Bond gets shot, disappears, eventually comes back. Now he's too old and busted for 00 status? Huh? Also, plot holes and dumb computer hacking shit.

    Not that Quantum didn't have its failures, but so many people were proclaiming Skyfall to supposedly be this masterpiece of Bond movies, and I just don't see it.
