This may be silly to say but...

I love Judie Dench as M but the thing is shouldn't someone else be playing the role of M? The reason I ask is when I watched Goldeneye I noticed how Bond mentioned the M before here kept drinks somewhere else or something like that. Anyways the thing is she replaced that M, so should that mean that M should be played by someone different to sorta keep with the timeline or whatever?

Which timeline? They rebooted after DaD so her playing M doesn't mean anything.

I thought they were doing prequels rather than a reboot

No, Casino Royal was a total reboot.

Whichever it was, you don't take an actress who has so melded to the role like that out of it just because the series is "whatevering" with a new Bond. Judi Dench is the perfect M.

there prequals but sirius is right about her being too good to give up

If it was a reboot then in casino royal they would be in the 60's
but if they decided to keep judi dench why in the hell didn't they keep John Cleese as Q, he is the perfect replacement and bond and Q's bantering gives the movies some much needed humor and i miss it. they had better go back to the gadgets and world domination or world crisis plots for the next film after the crappy qos

Why would they?

Is there every really any....year mentioned in the James Bond books? Like in Casino Royale was there any mention of what year it was? And I'm not saying what year was the book released

Because they wanted to start all over again: no Q, no Moneypenny, keep the gadgets to a minimum, etc.

darthmaul1 is mixing reboot up with prequel.

oops meant to say if it wasn't a reboot then it would be in the 60's
sorry about that

Doesn't seem like a reboot...feels like a prequel, I have seen no mention anywhere that it's a reboot and it really seem to need on 😬

What you think about it is irrelevant, it's a reboot and that's a fact. I have already provided you with 2 quotes that show it's a reboot and not a sequal.
A simple search would have cleared up everything already.

I said I FEEL like it's a prequel facepalm

I do hope you'll never have to do a geography exam... or a history one for that matter. 🙄
