That's right, no one is obliged to accept anything. You're sounding like Chauncey Clemhouse again! One doesn't have to pay attention to Bond movies. If one is into the series one has to realize yes, they turned the page.
Okay, I watched this movie. I liked it quite a bit. It was too "Bourne" for me, it was slipping into THAT mold rather than creating a new mould for the seires if you ask me. I liked Olga more than Eva, the whole Vesper thing in Casino wasn't that compelling for me. . . and subsequently his bit of obession about it was not as convincing to me. That's just me.
By the way, there IS a ridiculously named woman in this one, Ms. Strawberry Fields, right?
Anyway, yes this new reboot IS personally more to MY liking than any previous incarnation (I'm pretty "eh"/blah about all the other movies) and is promising. I hope Craig goes on and on in teh role.
