James Bond's year zero, which started in Skyfall and ends in Spectre, is
a beautiful, post-Bourne restart of the franchise that removes the
silliness (that bloody invisible car and that stupid inflatable jacket,
which would have suited Jeremy Clarkson more than Bond), adds a large
dose of grit and brings back the cool. Bond is Bond again rather than
someone's smarmy Dad. I can seriously see them heading back to the books
and maybe the next film will be 'Live and Let Die', apparently the
first Bond story chronologically after 'Casino Royale'. Not quite up
there with Skyfall, but damned close. Good stuff.
