Have any of you actually read Fleming? I was against the casting of Daniel Craig prior to Casino Royale, but felt that he answered his pre-film critics admirably (me included,) he is definitely a Flemingesque Bond. Quantum of Solace answers a few questions posed in Casino Royale, but also allows Craig to put his stamp on Bond. If you want gadgets et al, then watch Spy Kids. With the likes of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass raising the bar in this genre I think the Bond franchise is moving in the right direction. It was an adult themed film that used contemporary issues as a cover for some good old fashioned action. Someone on this board asked if Bond is a superhero. Well why shouldn't he be? I look forward to the next one.
