While I never thought SM3 was great, I certainly disagree with a lot of people who say it was terrible. For the third movie in a series, it wasn't too bad at all.

Or there might be a good explanation as to why James Bond changes all the time.

I suspect that the rushed reboot is also, at least in part due to the studio wanting to hang on to the rights for it. If they didn't develop something within a set time period the rights would go back to Marvel. A Marvel which is also busy churning out movies.

HAH. I love that James Bond theory. It actually has the movies make sense. God I hope the new Bond movie gets made because there has to be more of Craig Bond in the world. *swoon*

My James Bond question is: if they're all different guys, does MI6 only recruit agents who prefer their drinks shaken, not stirred?

I enjoyed the movie more than I hated it. I mean - yeah, I don't like any part where Aunt May shows up and tells a story, and I found Harry's amnesia side-plot completely unnecessary. Still, the action and effects were great, the basic plot-line was decent enough, Bruce Campbell was awesome, and dare I say it - I laugh every time I see Spider-man dance, and I would never want that ever removed from the movie. I found the rest of the movie just suffered from bad pacing, especially during the crying moments.

That's exactly how I feel about SM3.
