This may be silly to say but...

Judi Dench should stay as M foreverrrrrrrrrr, she is perfect for the role in my eyes. Going with whatever timeline. 😛

If you like her and you haven't seen it, see the film Notes on a Scandal, she is fantastic in it.

I get the feeling people here think I dislike her as M when I don't, i actually think she's better than the original/s

Stop complaining then. 😛

I'm not I was just saying it didn't make much sense, it would be like...lets say the Star Wars prequel was closer to the original trilogy, it would be like having darth vader suddenly be a woman or something (this is an example). I'm fine with Judi Dench being M, I love her being M but cause I thought it was a prequel rather than a reboot or whatever seemed like it would be a guy since Judi Dench in Golden Eye was replacing the original M who was male.

The answer is obvious...

To some yes...Pretty sure I'm not the only person who thought this movie was a prequel, I never saw anything about it being a reboot

Just so we're all on the same page, Daniel Craig films are prequels, right?

Thats what I thought but apparantly I'm wrong

prequel would take place in the 60's...

I dunno....maybe...

Considering Bond clearly worked in the Cold War (even stated in the movies like Moonraker) ... and a prequal per definition takes place BEFORE the previous movie(s). It is clear a prequal should take place at the latest in the early '60s, no?

The new ones or should i just say one cause QoS sucked are reboots, not a prequel

I thought it was a combination - prequel, but rebooted, if that makes any sense. It was the first book written, but the man who got staple gunned [or nail gunned, whichever] in the eye... i thought he turned into dr. no. or someone.....

but then obviously was a reboot, because he was just earning double o status.

and in the end i just said 'f**k, just go with the flow' and that helped immensely 🙂

Yeah as Joven said Dr No is asian and that guy from Casino Royale with the eye patch was'nt asian.

What I was thinking, as long as it's a good Bond movie, I'm not bothered about the time frame, doesn't take anything away from Bond, not for me anyway.

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?

yep.
