The idea that the James Bond film series needs to be
rebooted doesn’t make a lot of sense. Nearly every film is a reboot because
there’s virtually no continuity between films. Daniel Craig’s first outing as
the superspy 007 in Casino Royale was
a reboot of sorts in the sense that many of the things the Bond series had been
known for were ousted. Neither Miss Moneypenny nor Q made appearances. With Skyfall, Craig’s third turn as Bond, it
becomes clearer that the new series is something akin to a reboot because many
of the old comforts have returned.
