The Americans are savaging Spectre - despite the British press being mostly warm.
At the moment, it ranks lower on Rotten Tomotoes than Quantum of Solace.
What does this mean for the future?

SPECTRE will do well at the box office.
That said, EON has developed a taste for critical approval, and so there will be some kind of course-correction for Bond 25.

If the B.O. does well, I am not sure what correction would be needed.
As above, poor reviews were the norm, and there were only the Moonraker to FYEO type 'corrections'.
Time will tell though.

EON craves prestige these days. They like putting out "instant classics" like Casino Royale and Skyfall. They're not looking to return to the "just another Bond film" era of Cubby anytime soon.
I don't know what their course correction would look like, but they'll surely take some of the criticism into account. For example,

If there is 'course correction', I hope it doesn't involve removing the humour that featured in Spectre.
I hope Eon don't pay attention to the critics - but, as has been said, they have certainly developed a taste for prestige. They seem to only ask people with Oscars these days.
