The humor is the best part of the earlier Bond films. Today, all movies are about special effect and action. Bond followed suit to a large extent. I was not a big fan of Brosnan as 007..he’s too effeminate. Good guy and actor, but not masculine. Craig seems to be a good Bond, but I can’t get into these recent movies.

Sean Connery had humor, but Roger Moore brought cartoonish camp to the role (Jaws, Sheriff J.W. Pepper, etc.) If Daniel Craig wants to blame anyone for a ‘serious’ Bond, he can blame Mat Damon and his Bourne movies for raising the action bar.

I was skeptical about Craig as Bond, mainly because I grew up with Connery and Moore, but the new ones are my favorites -- by a long shot. I still love the oldies, but Craig rocks as Bond, and I really appreciate a more serious 007. I hope he continues with the role for quite a while.

Compared to Timothy Dalton, Brosnan is Conan the Barbarian.

The recent Casino Royale was excellent. Action, grit, swank.

As a kid I read all of the Ian Fleming Bond books and always visualized Bond as bit of a professional thug in spite of his sophistication. The mid-period Bond movies (after Connery thru Brosnan) were just goofy. Craig and the current movies bring back the thug-Bond. I like them.
