Ralph Fiennes as the new "M" should be interesting. The actor that portrayed "Q" i find quirky but amusing as well. I look forward to him coming back .(unless, of course the BBC hires him as the next "Doctor Who")

Yeah, maybe Bond fights a bunch of Moslems in the next film, who are trying to undermine British society.

My wife and I like Craig. He is credible as Bond.

I saw Sky Fall last weekend and here are a few observations concerning my opinions:
1. Daniel Craig is an excellent Bond. As good or better than Sean Connery was in his first set of Bond movies.
2. The character as written in Sky Fall is the best James Bond character written, including all Bond films.
3. De-emphasizing the gadgetry has helped a lot. No magic invisible cars, no ICMB rocket packs, etc. In fact, I would prefer they tone it down even further with relation to MI6 headquarters. Everyone knows that the British welfare state has very limited funds for such things.
4. The sex is more realistic and more in line with the story line, when it is less graphic and less romantic. Bond is not looking for relationships and he is not Don Juan.
5. Gritty, character driven plots are the best. Is it possible to completely expunge all of the Roger Moore Bond movies from cinematic history?
6. Making Bond more human and less cartoonish is key. James Bond as super-hero gets old.
7. Hopefully the old saw of being left to die in some Rube Goldberg type device will never appear again.
8. I loved the use of the old Aston Martin Q-car. It slightly violated my gadget rule, but its use was almost a symbolic goodbye to those trappings (I hope).
9. Thankfully, the constant reminders that it is “Bond, James Bond” and “Shaken, not stirred” have all but disappeared.
10. We still need realistic villains. The Sky Fall villain had a more believable premise than most Bond story lines have, but we really don't have an evil billionaire problem in the world...wait, perhaps Soros as the next Bond villain?

After they killed off Judi Dench (his boss) in Skyfall, I'm wondering who'll play his boss.

I'll miss Dame Judi Dench (she is a Great actress. She was in the BBC show 'As Time Goes By', that might be shown on your local PBS station. On Saturday, we like watching the British comedies - 'Are You Being Served', "keeping Up Apprearances' and 'As Time Goes By'. All great shows!!)

Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery. Less funny lines and more realism are what I like. He is much more physically able to do the stunts and play the part than anyone else that played the role.

However, the time factor is running. In Skyfall he was a much older Bond. They need to hurry up with the next two films before he ages too much.
