After all those pyrotechnics, is it time to pop open a bottle of Dom Perignon, James?

Being aJames Bondfan is never easy.

Immediately pundits and fans the world over, myself included,lost our minds.

Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas in No Time to Die

But its also perhaps the best case scenario.

Very savvy Hollywood game-players?

And yet, lets not pretend like there havent been shake-ups in the past.

The Bond franchise also faced huge difficulties between the Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan eras.

But, the new Bond films wont be just a series ofNever Say Never Agains.

Under the new producers and yes, Amazon, these new films will represent the future of 007.

This isnt to say that Bond should become a TV series likeReacher(thats a different debate).

Its certainly not a perfect show, but then again, have you seenOctopussylately?

In fact, you could argue, just the opposite.

Back in the day, Saltzman and Broccoli used to churn these suckers out once a year.

If something didnt work out too well, but they didnt look back.

They just tried to do better next time.

Every Bond movie promised audiences that James Bond will Return.

We dont know if the next movie will be good.

And thats the point.
