As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I think the last Bond film I saw had Timothy Dalton.

Are the ones since then good? If so, which ones are worth watching?

The Daniel Craig ones are worth seeing.

Casino Royale was quite excellent.

Quantum of Solace was "wtf" compared to it.

Pretty good movie, better than the last one.

One decision that I thought was strange was they completely discounted the notion that whoever becomes the new 007, takes the name James Bond. This movie gave him a past, and he has always been James Bond, so I don't know where that leaves the old movies.

Decent film. Not my favorite Bond movie featuring Craig, but still very strong.

It had an odd feel about it throughout like they were retiring Bond, which was weird, especially considering the ending.

It's not Casino Royale, but it's also not a Roger Moore Bond film... (or Dalton or Bronson)
