I haven't liked the new Bond at all, as he's more like Jason Bourne and less like James Bond IMHO.
I liked Bourne. And that's the reason I like the new Bond. He's real. He gets shot. He gets his balls busted. He bleeds. He loves, and loses.
But he still wins.
I loved the first three Bourne movies, but IMHO Jason Bourne is not James Bond.
Old school James Bond used to be the best job in the world; awesome cars, cool gadgets, hot women, unbeatable in the casino, snarky one-liners, and a cast iron liver.
Now, it seems like Bond just gets beat up a lot, drives a nice car, and drinks a shitton. In some of the movies, he doesn't even get the chick. Talk about a downgrade.

IMHO Goldeneye is the best Bond film of all time, but I know a lot of fans prefer Connery's or Craig's take on Bond.
Having said all that, I'm in the minority, as the new Bond movies are making way more money than they used to.
