Yeah, I suppose I just prefer Bond when it's a bit more tongue in cheek. Once it starts taking itself at all seriously it just seems all the more preposterous to me. I like the grittier side of espionage (Smiley, Harry Palmer, etc) but with Daniel Craig as bond (and the utterly annoying Judi Dench as M) it seems to be moving into a kind of no mans land, neither one thing nor the other.
