What gets me if the furor CR apologists put into ripping PB & DAD. A fine actor in his own right, any problems with the movies were not him!
Same for SC-GL-RM-TD & -DC
IMO RM had some of the most cartoony BS, I enjoy RM's JB the least because of it. But not him he did the job and has some good moments.
It seems to escape criticism when dragging PB's JB through the mud that RM's JB had more than their fair share of gimmicky moments, thanks to the Broccolis and MGW
Even TD;s TLD has ridiculous villains - Joe Don Baker & General Koskov.
TWINE villains are trashed with a blind eye turned to other examples including CR.
Not all who like CR hate the old series –all though the loudest beat the drum talking smack about the Pb, DAD, and the old series –just following company talking points like a good RNC-DNC stooge.
Not all who don't like CR hate DC –the loudest got the attention.
1 or 2 of us hate CR and like DC. –CR has a lot of problems that even a directors edition wont fix.
– b22 might prove DC miscast –which will make me upset because it will be the Broccolis who wasted his opportunity
Just a thought...

How about if Bond 22 IS good? Would that change your opinion of DC then, as you seem to follow a great belief that an actor shouldn't be slagged off, it should be the film itself.....?

You have a strange way of showing your gratitude.
But after CR's success I'm thinking we'll be in for more of the same with Bond 22, you needn't be upset...if it was (another) Bondian performance from Craig and a good film to boot, is it possible you would change your opinion of the Broccolis, Craig and the re-boot?
