James Bond is just a Franchise name like McDonalds or KFC s ,over the year the films have evolved to suit the era started with Roger Moore and the lets jump on the Star Wars fad hence Moonraker.
Casino Royale is the Bond version of Bourne and thats what the audience wants.If it’s a Bond movie it will be entertaining the majority of people who see Bond movies are the 20 somethings they have no idea who Ian Fleming or that their are books and probably could care less..
I dont know if this i true a few months back it 100th year of Titanic sinking twitter was covered in comments that film only came out a few years ago is this a typo..

The sceen in the movie The Living Daylights that takes place in Bratislava was very flemingesque and contemporary, the short-story was written about 25 years before the movie. It can be done with the right group of people. Maibaum did it in TLD. Yes, the movie did not have Dalton-Bond wondering around reading a filthy euro novels but it still captured the intent of Fleming.

There was more Flemingesque quality in the first 20 minutes after the title sequence/pre-title sequnce in the TLD then there was in the first two Craig-Bond movie. It is a shame the writters strike sort of disrupted LTK.

Moore’s performance in in Moonraker was closer to Fleming-bond than Craig-Bond.
