    I didnt have an issue with Craig so much. Its just the writing that was awful. Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall were decent. The new M and the changes to the plot design that came after ruined it all for me. In my opinion the series should have ended after Skyfall.

      It changed a lot more long before that. But that’s probably also why you’re not wrong that it should have ended. Much of the movies were from a time with a different mentality than modern times. They were often sexist and a bit campy. Something which late 90s into 2000s certainly wasn’t going to fly the same.

      Though ironically. The kingsman films actually ended up being much more enjoyable in the same vein even without that. At least for myself than any of the Daniel Craig bond films. Which is no shade against Craig. He’s a good actor and has been in a lot of good things. They’re just something about him to me was off for that particular role.
