Oh, I agree with that. I just meant that in Casino Royale it was so refreshing to have a Bond movie not beholden to all the beats previous movies had to hit.

-Flirt with Moneypenny
-Meeting with M in office
-Meet with Q
etc etc etc

When Craig became Bond they did things as they saw fit, didn't force Bond cliches into the movies. In Skyfall they really forced all those all things back in for some reason. Small quibbles though, as I liked some of the nods to the past. Threatening to eject M from the car was hilarious.

Albert Finny has to come back as Kincade though, he was great. Also though Javier Barden was one of the best Bond villains.
