While Bond 23 is finally in production under the direction of Sam Mendes (and with some hefty financial backing), Casino Royale director Martin Campbell has taken it upon himself to remind everyone that the last 007 film - poor old Quantum of Solace - was 'lousy'.
Currently doing the promotional rounds for his new film, Green Lantern, Campbell was asked in an interview with CraveOnline about his thoughts on the most recent Bond movie, which was directed by The Kite Runner's Marc Forster.
"Oh, I thought it was lousy. And hopefully this next one will be terrific. Sam Mendes is directing it and I'm sure it'll be terrific," said Campbell.
When asked whether he was disappointed that maybe Forster hadn't continued some of the themes that were in Casino Royale, Campbell replied: "No, I just thought the story was pretty uninteresting. I didn't think the action was related to the characters. I just thought overall it was a bit of a mess really."
Campbell does have form when it comes to 007 movies, having handled Pierce Brosnan's introduction to the series in Goldeneye, then coming back three films late for Daniel Craig's first outing.
The critics and fans would also agree with Campbell. Even though both his and Forster's film took around $600 million each, Casino Royale holds a mighty 94% 'Fresh' rating on RottenTomatoes whilst its moodier sibling only managed a lowly 64% score.
