I really wish Hollywood would just visit this site, read our comments, and hire us all as script doctors. Lucasfilm too.

I don't think chosing Craig is the problem here. The problem here is the way they decided the Craig should play Bond. I think the same thing did in Brosnan.

And now a word from Pierce Brosnan describing George Lazenby -
"George is just an angry, old, pissed off guy. He was never an actor, but some pissed-off Aussie who doesn't know how to show his feminine side. I met him, and he's got that kind of brittle edge to him."
Is this a real quote?

I thought poor plots/scripts were what did in Pierce Brosnan.

The outgoing James Bond 007 recruits his replacement, who takes on the name to further his image of invincibility and ever-present youthfulness.
And in a bit of fan boy gushing, it actually had each of the previous James Bonds return to teach him something about his character. My favorite was actually Lazenby, teaching him the art of changing his voice. It also got into the fact that he prematurely left after making the mistake of falling in love and getting married, which, upon her death, forced the "original" James Bond to return to clean up the mess.
Connery and his skill at cards (esp. Baccarat) was going to play in significantly into the plot of Casino Royale, which would have been his first assignment as the rest of the film plays out.
It was all written a bit Remo Williams-ish, with the new recruit being obtained in a black-ops type maneuver by Brosnan and taken to an undisclosed facility to begin his training. It also smacked of Andy Garcia's recruitment in The Untouchables. But even my wife bought into it and supported me trying to solicit the idea to EON. If any of my silly notions ever convince her to be positive, then the material must have legs, because she's argumentative by nature about just about anything.
Even if nobody else returned, these skills and the 007 history could have been passed down by the "recruiter" explaining his 40-year longevity.

Never submitted it, merely inquired to Eon HOW I could submit it. THAT is what got returned unopened. Lame, huh?
Not having an agent or knowing where to find one, all I wanted was to ask where to look.

And so many non-talents who don't deserve the fame/success/adoration showered upon them. Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears come to mind here.

The complete opposite of what you new about the 007 movies.
I won't get into the details but it's a thunderous movie that I coax you to see.

I left the cinema certainly wanting to see a follow-up 007 film soon

Even though they pretend the same character has continued for - pulease - 40 years ... I've always thought of each new actor as a new Bond, getting the name and number issued to him upon the demise or retirement of the last one.
There was no other way for my mind to grok the immense differences in Bond's personality, not to mention looks, and the fact that he remained a fairly youthful ladies man during the stretch of four decades.
Having Judi Dench as "M" and this Bond on his first mission in the current year of 2006 makes it implicit that there are multiple, succeeding Bonds. Certain inconsistencies must be overlooked of course, but I find more implausibilities eliminated via this interpretation of the series.
