Ansonsten fand ich das Comeback vom sehr sehr geil... ka warum Bond den im Besitz hatte (wurde das irgendwo erklärt?) - lustig wars auf jeden Fall :)

Mir ist schon klar, dass es vorher auch nur einen männlichen M gab, doch für mich funktioniert das nicht. Nicht seitdem sie in der Rolle gesetzt wurde. Diese Ironie, dass Bond von einer Frau Befehle entgegen nehmen muss, obwohl er gegenüber Frauen immer eine eher gestörte Beziehung hat, war doch immer interessant.
Trotz alle dem erinnerte mich der FIlm mehr an die Bourne Reihe als an Bond.
