They didn't,
There was a massive rights issue over the ownership of the franchise which lead to a five or six year gap between films; by the time it was resolved he decided himself he didn't want to do another one as his contract had (I think) lapsed.

I have an excellent Bond films reference book.
Only goes up to Die Another Day, though.

What's your view on Craig versus Connery?

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 16 Jul 2013, 18:19, Reply)

I prefer Craig I think.

I think quite a lot of those who've read the books / understand the genre properly prefer him. More human.

QoS was a bit poor though.

Yeah, I've only seen that one once.
It's on the shelf for completeness though.

but seriously they are shit, somtimes you can see they've speeded up a car chase

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 16 Jul 2013, 18:31, Reply)

Yes, but consider when they were made. Nearly 50 years ago.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 16 Jul 2013, 18:32, Reply)

who cares? I wasn't alive and compared to modern movies they look rubbish
When they were made is irrelevant.

Nah, the worst Bond chase and special effect
is the crappy CGI glacier melting and parachute surfboarding in Die Another Day.

You're right that CGI was very poor.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 16 Jul 2013, 18:38, Reply)

Went to see it at the cinema, everyone was like "WTF was that shit?"
Thing is Bond stunts should be real, if it goes CGI it's just another action movie.

Connery's still alive, it's not too late for them to make the equivalent of The Five Doctors.
In space, with Jaws and Dolly.
