The "reboot" with Daniel Craig, IMO, has been phenomenal. Quantum wasn't nearly in the same league as Casino Royale, let alone, Skyfall but it was head and shoulders above the past two decades of Bond films.

Sony has a lot invested in 24 and expect it to be the best Bond film of all time as well as being its highest grossing Bond film of all time.

And lastly, it's a damn shame (IMO) that Pierce Brosnan's talents were wasted during that era. I have no doubt that he would have been an absolute badass if he had been given scripts like Skyfall and Casino Royale.
Sam Mendes...
Goddamn, glad the Bond franchise landed him
