It seemed to be a setup for the new Bond era...one more Connery-like, with a more traditional “M”, and the return of Moneypenny.
I guess we’ll have to see if they follow through on the next one. The one thing I liked is him getting shortchanged by the new Q (a dork, if you aks me) on gadgets, then Bond having to go back and pull out an Astin Martin where I presume he’d squirreled it away(looked like the one I saw in 64 in Goldfinger)...cool...
