I don't think the Bond franchise is tired anymore--not since Casino Royale. I'm looking forward to A Quantum of Solace.
Exactly. I agree. Which is why I observed that the Bourne series indirectly helped reinvigorate the Bond franchise, it changed the direction and tone of spy movies, inspired a return to a more muscular, less digital style, breathing new life into the genre. The new Bond is great. There are lots of other, more primary reasons the new Bond is good, background business reasons--rights shifting into different hands--as well as upfront talent reasons, Daniel Craig. I look forward to Quantum of Solace, can't wait.
