It's good to see that we have Sam Mendes back for another Bond movie. He did a good job with Skyfall, and he's going to do a good job again but a better job with SPECTRE, by making a follow up story to Skyfall as a continuation and by telling more about the stories of Bond's past.

I am Glad that Sam is putting Ian Flemming's Bond on the screen. - I loved Cubbie Broccoli's Bond, but there is so much in the Novels I've been wanting to see.
