So if Goldfinger hasn't happened yet, how come he's already got the car?

He does not have it - it got destroyed

Don't try and understand the Bond timeline, it'll never work.

Arguably this film is still part of the re-boot prequel series, given it ends with the gun barrel sequence, we get introduced to Moneypenny and M is now back in a proper office.

Yet throughout the film Bond's treated as an archaic dinosaur of yesteryear that's past his sell-by date.

One of the scenes I didn't like was when he sneaked up on the girl in the shower and shagged her despite her telling him she was a (child) sex slave. Another was the complete disregard when she was shot dead "waste of a good scotch".

Bond may be one of the "Good Guys" in the films, but these days he's not one of the "Nice Guys" and the definition of good guy is definitely flexible.

Back at the start when he's having the psych exam, his response to the word "Murder" is "Employment".

Yeah but to clarify for those who haven't seen it - she's grown up now - it's not jimmy saville creeping up on her

Wifey pointed out in the Roger Moore days, he'd have done his move, shot the henchmen, rescued the girl, capture the bad guys and then drunk the scotch saying something about it being a waste to have spilled it.

That and the totally unnecessary tube train bit were the weakest points of the film. But overall - loved it.

I was amazed how he was in Westminster which was actually the old Willis Coroon building in Trinity Square right by Tower Hill.

That's the fun bit about films based in. London how the characters end up miles away from where they are supposed to be.

But he did go sprinting down Whitehall to get there

Wife and I are going to see this on Wednesday.

So I didn't read any of the thread.

Also how he got on the 'District Line' but it was actually more like a Jubilee Line station and carriage

Then when the train came crashing through the roof it was empty, despite him just getting off a 'rush hour' train
