Will be interesting to see what happens with this one. It's hard to do anything but a reboot after a movie like Skyfall IMO. Ideally a Spectre type movie should've preceded it, but it seems like Craig was just signing one-movie deals so I can see just doing the level best every time out, which meant Spectre was going to be a tacked-on letdown no matter what.
Still, improbable action scenes in exotic locations are what makes the franchise go more than anything. They learned their lesson with the Dalton movies that a more grounded Bond doesn't sell -- and those films were still mostly lilywhite.
