not really a prequel - it's a reboot.
It's all contemporary and it starts off as if there had never been any previous Bond stories. It is restarting the franchise in the same way Batman Begins did. M is in place before Bond becomes a double-o, she's played by Judi Dench simply to provide a little familiarity and continutity to the series - and she's great in the role.

I also agree that this is a restart, the overall feel of the film was as though nothing had happened yet in the life of Bond in terms of continuity from the other 20 films. Plus this is the 1st time Bond meets Lighter, in the original Dr. No Bond meet Lighter for the 1st time there. So that kinda also made me think of this being a restart. Now does anyone whose seen the movie think that they maybe trying bring back SPECTOR? They kept refering to a larger organization. Then there was the guy with the black lens over his glasses which made me think he was Largo from Thunderball but then Bond killed him so I wasn't sure after that.

they could remake all the bonds at this point - if they were to follow the books. except The Spy Who Loved Me ... horrible horrible Bond book. Not because they tried something new - i have no problem with that - it was just blah.

Was the movie better than the novel? I would love a SPECTOR come back I hated the way SPECTOR was defeated in that it came down to Bolwfield in You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Diamonds are Forever. Then I hated how he was that little crippled looking guy in You Only Live Twice, I thought he had a better look in Never Say Never even though I hated that movie. I think that was a big copy of Thunderball right?

i liked never say never again .. great score. good to see connery back .. one of my favorite villians ever. the spy who loved me was co-written with a woman (or so it says) It takes place in an out of the way motel in new york state just south of the canadian border where a girl who runs the motel is being terrorized by 3 run of the mill criminals .. thats it. i'm not opposed to him trying something new - and it sounds like it could work - but it doesnt. so in this one case - the movie was better than the book.

Few years ago I read on a magazine that they would like to strat 2 trends in Bond series!! One is for a completely new one & the other one would be the remake of old bond classics and there would be 2 different actor playing the role for the 2 trends!! I personally did'nt take it seriously because that was a foreign magazine with full of gossips & the source was'nt reliable at all. :mad:
But now... after Casino Royale it seems that the magazine probably did some hell of a job~~!!:D
