Daniel Craig's tenure has been, for a lack of a better word, awkward. He started on a fairly high note with 'Casino Royale,' wowing the audience with a fresh new take on a close to 50 year old legacy -at the time. The subsequent release, 'Quantum of Solace,' suffered from a writer's strike while trying to ride the coat tails of the successful 'Casino.'
'Skyfall' came along at the 50th anniversary mark and employed the misappropriated talents of Sam Mendes; a man who previously had 0 experience with big budget action thrillers, let alone any budget action thrillers. The result was a plot cratered mess that tried to substitute logic with poetry; yet, it was somehow successful enough to confound viewers into thinking the film was a brilliant and classic entry in the series.
After the success of 'Skyfall,' the producers thought that they could reclaim the glory of sed film and create a "sequel" to it. Due to the lack of inspiration and direction for the future, the producers rehired Sam Mendes, gave Daniel Craig an additional production role, and reemployed the plot hole laden writers, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, to attempt to create 'Skyfall 2.' Everyone involved was clearly aware of the fact that they did not have a clear picture of the future, post-'Casino Royale.' For that reason alone, Bond is already a dinosaur by 'Skyfall.' Around or after the production of 'Skyfall,' the producers had regained the rights to using the name of the famous criminal organization, SPECTRE. Instead of methodically reintroducing the legendary megalomaniacal entity, the producers decided to make SPECTRE the root of all of Bond's problems; from the beginning of his run to that moment. And by the use of sheer and utter stupidity, 'SPECTRE' is the Craig film that's supposed to sum up his run. That clearly didn't fly as Craig's swan song; hence, the existence of 'No Time To Die.'
