Favourite James Bond Films: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible and any upcoming action films starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good because he'll need it to expand his reputation as an actor, especially in the action realm)
Favourite Films: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Harry Potter, Middle-Earth, The Matrix, Mission: Impossible

Once Craig became Bond everyone scrambled to jump onboard and diss Pierce Brosnan. EON's the reason why Pierce got bashed. Because of this, I'm boycotting every Bonds DC is in.

You have to factor in the attraction of being the 'new' and 'latest'. We live in a world increasingly dominated by trends and fads and this carries over into something as trivial as an actor in a studio franchise. Once Craig became Bond everyone scrambled to jump onboard and diss Pierce Brosnan. Brosnan was suddenly the old model. He was the past. People have a tendancy to believe that the latest thing is the best. If they ever make a James Bond film with a new actor then he will be the newest and latest model. Craig will be the past and judged in a more realistic and detatched way. If I had a James Bond magazine to sell I'd be telling everyone that Daniel Craig was better than Sean Connery! Welcome to the forum Gambit. It will be interesting indeed to see what the retrospective view on Craig is. An unfortunate effect of Casino Royale for me was the haste with which fickle James Bond fans turned on what had gone before.

They said Moore was better, they said Dalton was better, they said Brosnon was better, they said they were all better than Connery, when they were the current actor playing Bond.Suprise suprise, they are saying Craig is better than Connery, what a load of crap! That is the biggest insult to any Bond fan. Craig a classic bond, im going to fall of my chair laughing so much!

This is why QOS should be boycotted, and this is why QOS should not get nominated by the Golden Globes or the Oscars.

QOS may get nominated for Bafta's. The British film industry needs to support it's biggest money maker no matter how bad the film will be.
It won't get nominated for any Oscars or GG. CR was supposed to be some revolutionary , franchise saving film but did'nt get any nominations.

This is where movies like Indy 4, Iron Man, and Narnia belong as they deserve to get nominations: And this is where QOS belongs:
