I haven't seen the classic Bond films, so I couldn't agree or disagree. I do get the feeling that they are much more escapist fun than the latest iterations, and I have much respect for that. Casino Royale was massively entertaining, if anything. Quantum of Solace was almost TOO entertaining, in the sense that it was too much a popcorn film. Sure, so was Casino Royale, and sure, Quantum of Solace did have a whole geopolitics plot, but it was structured so terribly that all that stood out were the action sequences, and they were hard to follow as well.
