Can't wait. Hitman is one of my favorite game series. Also why I got into Assassin's Creed and other stealth genre games

Saw Skyfall today. First, I think we can safely say that yes, Sam Mendes can do a proper action film. Also, the film also kills the theory that "James Bond" is actually a code name given to six different agents in the past fifty years.

I wouldn't have been blown away if it had been true, but it's got no legs now.

Speaking of...

<Spoiler alert>


So after years of Q begging Bond to return his equipment in one piece, Bond gets to keep a freakin' tricked out ASTON-MARTIN for himself?

What hurts my brain is the amount, like it must be in the six to seven figure range, of money 007 throws away when he loses/disregards/tosses his Walther gun of choice.

Technically they've been saying that the Craig movies "reboot" the franchise because it has none of the traits of the previous Bond films.

I really wish they would have incorporated the Bond as a codename theory into this. A little bit of rewrite and maybe even throw in an actor that was a previous Bond and this would have been interesting. The Skyfall scene where we meet this old man, I seriously think that could have been Connery because of the focus on him, like we are supposed to know the guy, like this would have been a James Bond reunion.

He's one of the best spies in the world so if MI6 really wants to keep him they'll pay for/replace whatever he wants (but that's just my opinion).

Well if you are a spy, what you got is what you got. You aren't paid to worry about keeping your one gun, if you lose it, you lose it or if you have to ditch it, you didn't have a choice or Bond just doesn't give a shit like the actors when they toss a real gun into the lake for the sake of the scene
