I know critics didn't love this movie, but I enjoyed it the most of all the Daniel Craig Bond films. It had action, nice locations. It was a throwback to the old Bonds. I liked Skyfall too, but I did think it was a bit too dramatic.

Casino Royale (and in some ways Quantum Of Solace) pushed the genre forwards with a new, darker, bolder Bond, Skyfall shifted it back towards the older style of Bond movie with loads of nods to the past films, but Spectre threw it right back to the Pierce Brosnan days with even more throwbacks that really didn't move the series on, and it is no wonder that Daniel Craig is growing bored of it. He probably agreed to sign up based on the strength of the Casino script and agreed a longer deal based on the Quantum script being his own property. But the moment Skyfall and Spectre fell foul of being generic Bond he probably felt he no longer wanted to be a part of it.
The reality is that Spectre was all action sequences and throwbacks, and lacking a strong plot or dark side to it. The best part of Spectre in my eyes, was the initial opening sequence where the film-making with the single opening shot that moved locations without ever cutting to a different camera was inspired and made me feel the film was going to be epic..... but the moment this sequence was over, it all felt very average, generic and by the numbers movie, and if I ever watch it again, it will just be for that opening few minutes only.

I hope that Craig does one more, he deserves it and when he puts his acting heart and soul into it he can deliver a fantastic 5th performance.... but he needs a much stronger, more powerful and once again darker script, much stronger (not necessarily bigger) action sequences, less throwbacks, and much better awe-inspiring shooting scenes and the world will go mad for it! But if it ends up being another Spectre..... then its time for a new Bond, a new Scriptwriter, a new Director and lets re-invent it again!
