Is it possible to un-reboot a franchise? Spectre, the 24th entry in the James Bond franchise (and the fourth to star Daniel Craig), isn't just disappointing on its own terms. It's disappointing because it erodes what made Casino Royale's total reboot of the 007 franchise so fresh and interesting in the first place. There were harbingers of returning director Sam Mendes' old-is-new approach to 007 in Skyfall, which reintroduced Q, Moneypenny, a male M, and even the Goldfinger Aston Martin DB5 by the time the credits rolled.
