Now he just goes around shooting people and dropping them off buildings.
Does that sound right? If so, they need to get back on track.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes, he's become too much of an action star and a cold-blooded killer, not the smooth operator he once was. This sucks too, because I like Craig, but the writing is just terrible. Changing direction to make the story grittier and modern is fine, but when you turn Bond into the Transporter, I think it's time to take a step back and reevaluate what the character is supposed to be about. Haggis is a douche for what he's done to this franchise.
