Nah, Aaron... although it is the original Bond story, it's as if the Bond franchise is starting over. Bond starts today, not fifty years ago. I'll admit I was a little confused about the date placement in the beginning, but once I understood the direction the film was taking I found it brilliant. I was thrilled they didn't try to go back and explain everything. Perhaps Bond purists won't see it this way, but I loved this approach.
I think this film is a departure and new direction, sort of the way the last Batman movie (also excellent) removed itself from the earlier films.
I tend to agree with the reviews I read at Rotten Tomatoes and right now the film has a 94% positive review.
