SKYFALL - The Moral of the Teenage Q
Skyfall brought in more money than any other Bond film.
It also had the daftest plot.
There's a moral here for all entrepreneurs!
First the teenage Q played the big shot - "I can do more damage in my pyjamas before breakfast on my laptop than you can do in a year in the field.".
Well, actually he was right.
He went on to brag about how he wrote the security which only a handful of people knew about, including the villain.
Then, he cleverly switched on the villain's laptop using the security he wrote - which promptly released the imprisoned villain to blow a hole in London's underground, and shooting any number of people before shooting out a public enquiry.
Not wishing to be outdone by the teenager, Bond then cleverly set a trap for the villain - "one step ahead" he said.
The trap involved using M as bait, to lure the villain and his small army with heavy firepower to a remote house, where Bond and an old gamekeeper would take them on with a couple of shotguns.
Surprise, surprise, this got M killed.
At least the film had a silver lining - it got rid of Judi Dench who just stood there terrified in the chapel even when the villain gave her his gun to shoot him...
