My problem with the rebooted James Bond movies isn't that they purposefully yanked out the "signature" Bond stuff that defined the series for decades, but that they still haven't found a new signature to replace it with. That worked out alright for the origin story in "Casino Royale;" but "Quantum of Solace" was a thuddingly-generic actioner distinguished only by Craig calling himself "James Bond."
The new one, at least, makes the interesting move of putting things in the hands of Sam Mendes; which should at least make for a unique looking/feeling film. We'll see.
