The new James Bond film Skyfall begins with an awesome, high-energy sequence in which 007 takes part in a car chase, a motorcycle chase, and a shootout, uses a crane to rip open a moving train, and then fights with an assailant on top of that train.
Then he’s accidentally shot and left for dead (which, of course, he isn’t).
And all that happens before the opening credits (which feature that gorgeous theme song by Adele). Whoa.
To quote another famous Bond theme song, nobody does it better.
So why, then, is our hero in danger of being put out to pasture?
