Best bond ever??? I dont think so...

I have seen some reviews from various critics that call this the best Bond ever? Ummm in my opinion not quite however it was entertaining. Are they doing the new Bond films with Daniel Craig in storyline order? Cause we end up with both a new M which is fine, however i will miss Judi Dench in the role, and from what i believe is Bond's introduction to Moneypenny? Little confused here...so if anyone wants to shed some light feel free to message me! Anyhow.. the storyline this time round has the film starting with Bond on a job, another agent who is working alongside Bond ends up shooting 007 after a direct order comes from M (Judi Dench) to do so...007 goes missing as M comes under fire for the death of M16's best agent. It's not long before 007 once again resurfaces and comes to M's rescue as not only is she forced to retire she has also found out that a bit of nastiness from her past has rosen to seek revenge.
All this in an effort to save M he dives headfirst into his past pulling at all his roots to face this new enemy.. Ok i'll call myself a whiny Bond fan brat here as i love all Bond's gadgetry...we only get a gun that is can only be shot by Bond himself. However the Aston Martin with machine gun turrets is back which was a pleasant surprise. Sadly though they seem to be turing Bond a little too human for my liking and not so much comic book fare as i love my british hero to be. Damn you Batman!!! What worked for director Chris Nolan is not nessciarily gonna work for Sam Mendes!!!
Having seen every single one of Ian Fleming's 007 films (Brosnan is still my fave bond) i will always watch these films however i can only hope that they bring back the unrealism and gadgets as that is what draws me to this franchise!

Skyfall Review comment
I'm in the same boat as you - I thought Skyfall was a good movie - but not the "greatest Bond ever" as so many other critics think. I have a feeling the Bond of old (with the fun gadgets) is probably not coming back - I don't mind the more humanized Bond, but I agree I do miss the more comedic touches. And I'm pretty sure that Naomie Harris is going to stick around as Moneypenny - not a bad addition.
