We seem to be at that stage again where the audience decides they've seen everything the current Bond actor can bring to the role.

It happened after A View to a Kill, Die Another Day and now Spectre.

If Craig's Bond was about how he became the 007 we all know, then he's now done that job and it's time for a new actor to take the character in a new direction and freshen things up.

It's hard to believe Craig has been Bond for 10 years now, that's probably long enough for any actor to play a role like this.

I guess Moore was Bond for too long and looked his age in his last film A View To a Kill. He was Bond for 12 years. He reigns as the longest serving Bond and did 7 films in a row. Connery also did 7 films but not in a row.

Brosnan arrived too late and should actually have been Bond after Moore and before Dalton. Die Another Day is usually considered the worst of the Bond movies and effectively ended Brosnan's stint.

With regard to Craig: I think he should do one more anyway. While some can criticise this Bond period as being too personal, it did something that was not done before. Craig needs to put this Blofeld storyline to bed and finish him and SPECTRE off.

Where can Bond go from here is the big question. With Blofeld around, remakes of You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Diamonds Are Forever could be tempting. The day the series goes down that road though would not be good and it would be just remakes of the old films and probably not as good as them.

and it was very irresponsible of Bond to start a fight in a helicopter with a crowd of people underneath
