In my opinion the James Bond movies after The World is not Enough don't really classify as James Bond movies. Sure the main actor is called Agent 007: James Bond but that doesn't mean that he meets the standards of that character. Take Die Another Day for example: 007 is held captive and tortured, presumably for a month at least, in the first part of the movie. Not only has that never happened before but Bond escapes because he is practically released. Casino Royal is even less Bond like for many reasons. The main thing that stands out as a major flaw to me is how physics was ignored during the section where 007 crashes which doesn't make sense for his character.
From Die Another Day on the Bond movies aren't as good as the old ones. The new ones don't have the expected charm or cartoon characteristics that make the others so good. The point of 007 is that he is a spy instead of some random American action hero that seems to be what the new ones are shooting for.
James Bond: classic British spy or semi-realistic action hero: you decide! Do you like the suave British super agent or do you prefer watching a hero that wanders around acting stupid on occasion to advance the plot of a movie that defies realistic conventions at every turn? If you like the romantic British agent then the first nineteen 007 films are the ones to watch for! If you prefer the random hero and optional realism you should keep an eye out for Die Another Day, Casino Royale, and the all new Qantum of Solace.
