A few of these movies are alright, namely X2, First Class and DOFP (Logan if you want to count it), but i'm glad this will inevitably be getting rebooted by Disney.
The new young characters, aside from Quicksilver are very meh and Jennifer Lawrence was always really bad as Mystique compared to Rebecca Romijn who actually had, uh... mystique.
Only James Mcavoy will be missed really, he carries these movies.
@Jelster79: The character was already changed for Sean Connery. Idris elba has all the charisma and talent required, he was basically Bond'esk without even playing the role.
However, since they will want Bond for multiple movies for over a 10 (possibly even 15 year time span), with him already being in his 50's, it's maybe not the best idea. But him being black is very "who cares".
Age has been a problem with Connery and Moore, both playing the character well after they should have. Indeed, Roger Moore got plastic surgery in an attempt to appear more youthful. He looks awful in A View To A Kill.
