A 'nightmare' that took a whole heap of money....I'd be happy with that again -{

If only money were an indicator of how good a movie was...I am just afraid that a couple similar movies would stagnate the entire franchise.

Well....you don't get too many bad films making LOTS of money !

"Stagnate the entire series"... ?:) Not sure what you are basing this on...other than personal taste...

Might it be Better?,You never know. I think it may have a similar Budget as I can't see them Spending the Huge amonut they did on QOS.
Which Once again takes us nicely Back to, Did QOS actually make any money for Eon Given the Vast Budget spent on it. :v
I'm rattling the Fence again. )

Despite its large budget (probably around average for most big action flicks these days) I'm pretty sure QOS has and will continue to turn a tidy profit. While for many of us QOS may have been a subpar follow-up to CR it was a worldwide hit at the box office. You also have to figuire in DVD/Blu Ray sales and television/cable licensing fees also. I do believe that if 23 is no better than QOS it may still do pretty well just because it carries the Bond brand but I don't believe EON wants to settle for "pretty well". If they can deliver a film on the level of CR quality wise while re-introducing a few more "classic" elements without them looking forced, EON could have another big hit on their hands. Interesting note: I have seen the trailer for MI:4 twice now and audience reaction was luke warm at best. One of the real weaknesses of the trailer is the music...basically some kind of really bad techno rap song that morphs into a barely recognizable version of the classic MI theme at the end of the trailer.

Here are those certain aspects of DAF Bondtoys.
1) The score & title song and sequence
2) Blofelds Cat
3) Wint & Kidd, Gay henchmen in 71 Too funny
4) The close out scene with Wint & Kidd on the cruiseliner
5) The introduction in humor that truly kept the series going through the Moore years and without that the Bond films may well have been just a period piece of the 60's
6) AND MOST IMPORTANT THE SEXIEST BOND GIRL IMHO OF ALLTIME
JILL ST JOHN
7) JILL ST JOHN
8) JILL ST JOHN
9) JILL ST JOHN
Ok Ok if it was not for JSJ, K&W, the cat and the music the movie stunk but I sure did love JSJ

Ok I take back my question re: bond toys GGG....

Jill st John was one hell of a bond girl and an ass-set to any film...

I agree on how many times Mission Impossible has destroyed the theme music, It's a classic leave it alone.
and speaking of Themes, Any chance we might get Bonds Back for 23, )

If Daniel Craig says it's gonna be better that CR, That's good enough for Me. The guys never steered me wrong. -{
He just keeps getting Better and Better.
