but why does it necessarily have to end up bad? Whats wrong with at least atempting fix the problems and make improved Bond movies? No, I don't want to see it drug through mud, but I don't want to see it end either. As for Star Wars, I have no problem with the decision to make Episodes 1-3, I have a problem with how the went about it. Why is everyone so certain that the Bond franchise can't be saved? Why is everyone so certain that the next actor to play Bond will fail in the role? Is it not possible that they could find someone who can do very well in role? Why is everyone so certain that its impossible to make a good Bond movie any more. I say again that frachise can be saved. All they need to do is find a better Bond and improve the directing and the writing. No, won't be easy. But it is possible. Stop being so negative.
