But Craig has been lights out phenomenal as Bond. QOS was a disappointment, but with the writers strike going on before and during filming, it was destined to be a cluster from the get go. The fact that QOS turned out to be an okay movie is about the best one could hope for.
Craig's Bond has been rebooted from the ground up, and I look forward to the next chapter. Hopefully it won't take four years to get done.

Craig is a good actor alright. But so is Peter Dinklage. Peter Dinklage is not Bond. Neither is Craig. Craig benefits from being Barbara Broccoli's favorite and EON going out of their way to provide him with good scripts.
Brosnan fought for better scripts and more edge to the character but instead they just fired him.
The idea of a reboot has a lot of problems. Usually a reboot happens a few years after a series has run it's course. It's usually done by another outfit and not with the signatures of the first. This one was done only to tap into the box office popularity and success of a short blond spy named Bourne. Instead of the Bond franchise being a trail blazer, it became an imitator.
To make it all more stupid they not only kept the signature music and the intros, but also kept the same M who had already bossed around the old Bond. The new short, blonde, pre-00 Bond is introduced to the old M. What a crock of shit! I think EON counted on the new fans having a short attention span,.... and judging by some posts here, maybe they were right.
