The Bond films have been getting sillier and sillier. I felt like I was being treated like an idiot at the last one I was dragged to. Stupid plots, gadgets which are simply impossible and a ludicrous number of bullets just happening to miss our hero.
Anyone who gets shot at that often is really a crap spy. It just doesn't come across as exciting to me.
Buy now Pierce Brosnan should have been shot in the head at least 5 times

I totally agree. The original Connery movies weren't exactly the most believable either - as we all cue up a 6'2" Scotsman passing as Japanese in You Only Live Twice - but at least it somehow seemed tongue-in-cheek or just better than the last couple Bond movies where they seemed more intent on turning it into a live-action cartoon. They could make up for that by having Brosnan be 007 in the next movie, but kill him off and have Craig be the replacement for the number (but then that might be an issue with the name, since he'd have to just happen to have the same name, or change his to James Bond).
In order to prevent the next Bond movie from being total shit like the last 3, they need to definately go in a different direction, and I think Craig will help that. I think they should make it a lot grittier and realistic, in that they should take a cue from The Italian Job remake and don't use any CG effects, or at least not unless absolutely necessary.

I never thought I'd see the remake of The Italian Job being used as an example of what to do rather than what not to do.

According to IMDB the London Daily Sun has named Daniel Craig as next Bond.
What the fuck is the London Daily Sun? Never heard of it.
It's the Sun. It's known as that internationally, just as the Times is The London Times so as not to be confused with the New York Times etc.
Who'd have thunk it.
