meeklo - the whole point of the new films and craig was to ditch the old bold character. the first 2 were simply to introduce the new agent, from special forces to operative status. this is bond before he becomes the more suave agent. a blunt instrument. the new direction is simply following what they did with the bourne films as they made so much cash as well as gained such good reviews both commercially and critically.
i used to love the old bond films but they haven't stood the test of time well, for me anyway. the effects are fine, it's more the social attitudes and commentaries are so far gone. as for the last 20 years of bond - complete shite. people give shit to brosnan but don't seem to acknowledge how poor the stories had become. they were simply adverts for bad computer games.
if you like and prefer the old bond films you can actually still watch them. the new ones are, for a while at least, going to be like the last 2.
by their very definition they are exactly like bond films as they are bond films.
my 2 cents.
