Too late! The last three bond films were far more dry and humorless than any of Nolans films, and they sucked to boot. I'd be happy to see a Nolan directed Bond movie at this point.

No they didn't, Skyfall was awesome. The other ones might have sucked, but don't drag Skyfall along with them.

I'm no James Bond fan to really care much about what direction this franchise might be taking, but they are films I can enjoy and I would absolutely not like to see Nolan's take on it. His style is as unsuitable for 007 as possible, these movies are supposed to be all about being fun, action-packed thrillers, not overly long, serious and pretentious movies (which is what Nolan usually does).

Also, being a fun movie doesn't mean it must have humor, and just because a movie has it doesn't mean it can't be serious either. Fun and humor are two completely separate things and although they can go hand-in-hand, they don't need to, and these movies show it. Skyfall didn't have a lot of humor, but it was pretty fun to watch - unlike Nolan's movies, which despite possibly having some humor (can't recall any, but if you can, please enlighten me) are not fun at all.

Skyfall only seemed pretty good because of the massive pile of shit that preceded it. In hindsight, Skyfall was a dull, utterly forgettable, bore. I've seen the movie two times and still can't remember any major plot points. You re right when you say Bond movies are supposed to be fun, and humor isn't necessary for a movie to be fun, but these past three films have been unable to Even hold my attention for the majority of their durations, which imo is unacceptable for any movie, let alone a supposed action flick.

And I might as well take this opportunity to say that I think Daniel Craig is the worst Bond in history. Casino Royale may have been good, but I've come to realize it definitely wasn't thanks to him. The dude is bland beyond words in these movies.

I actually agree that Nolan isn't the best choice for Bond, but with what they've already done to the series I really don't think it can get any worse. Plus I actually enjoy his movies. Even if he made a bad "Bond" movie, I'd still most likely enjoy it as a film on its own. As for humor, I'd say the dark knight had a decent amoubt, but I'll have to go searching for examples...another time.
