I don't want to see Bond before he was the bond we know any more than i want to see a star trek film with a captain kirk before we knew him.

Lets make a prequel about a character and focus on their origins. I don't give a damn about the origins especially if they are changed.

That would be like doing a star wars prequel about Luke Skywalker and casting another actor other than Mark Hamill. Writing the characters origins differenty and having us see the unintresting part leading up to the good part of the story which should be skipped, and making the character charmless and unlikable.

I would have prerferred them to follow the casino royale book and set it in the same time frame. Make it prior to the Connery films not set after 911 with a women M, no q no moneypenny and no gadgets. No suave ladykiller who dresses in fancy clothes and has style and is ruthless. They only got the ruthless part right.

No Skaken and not stirred, he says do i give a damn. What a joke. And Texas Hold'em instead of baccaratt not sure if i spelled that right.

The character comes off as more of an american action hero style bond and wooden and unintresting and bored as dalton. He is more like Jack Bauer or Bourne than bond.

They might as well get JJ Abrams or Micheal Bay to do the next Bourne Bond, i mean James Bond,lol.
