I understand that point, but you're not understanding my point....
My point being is that James Bond is ALWAYS gonna be cool and good enough to get shit done, that's his whole shtick for frigs sake, nothing phases him he ALWAYS gets the job done...
So the idea of a bunch of nerd hackers overwhelming James Fuckin Bond, literally insults my intelligence. And that's what this movie tried to portray, it tried to take an element that's very current, the big thing last few years has been cyber terrorism, it tried to take that element and infuse it into the fabric of the movie.

For what reason exactly ? I mean this isn't Mission Impossible, this isn't Bourne Legacy the two series where they're constantly trying to stay super modern and "with the times"
That's not what the Bond movies are about, so to make it the main theme of the movie basically was a big mistake.
I'm curious to see what the critics are saying, especially in comparison with Casino Royale, will look into that later.
