Whether a new lead can keep the franchise afloat remains to be seen. As the Bond series can tell you, changing out leads can have good and bad consequences. We’ll see if Jeremy Renner can have the same success that Daniel Craig did and not the same lack of success Timothy Dalton did.
Consensus
Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.
The Bourne Legacy: The concern is that Jeremy Renner (or at least the film’s producers, writers and director) may not be up to continuing the Bourne legacy.
The Campaign: More limp comedy.
Hope Springs: It could be good, it could be bad, but trailers can be deceiving.
Nitro Circus the Movie 3D: There is no point.
2 Days in New York: It’s an unassuming indie comedy that isn’t everyone’s style.
