At least he had a decent innings, and left a great body of work that'll stand the test of time.

I'm looking forward to it. I thought Casino Royale was great, enjoyed QoS (certainly didn't think it was as awful as many journos are now making out - the Guardian film 'expert' is a prick) and the Skyfall teaser trailer is intriguing enough.
Roll on November.
It is half a century since the film franchise for the world's best-known spy began - and to mark his heroic efforts for his country, the Barbican Centre in London is celebrating by showcasing the design and style behind James Bond.

Yeah i can agree with that. That's why i'm hoping they jump it on a bit so Craig gets a go at being the more experienced Bond - with the added confident swagger and touches of refinement. I certainly want a handy gadget and a car chase involving the Aston this time out

QoS was for me a bad film, but on the other hand I would say Casino was the best Bond film ever. I hope the rebooted franchise doesn't go back to the cheesey Bond motifs (bit dissapointed to see Craig holding that tiny pea-shooter gun in the posters - he looks bit idiotic).

Completley different story.
The only two things the movie and the book have in common are that the good guy is called James Bond, the the bad guy is called Hugo Drax.
The movie..........Spoiler: show
The book.............Spoiler: show
I find the book more enjoyable.
