Die Another Day was definitely outlandishly stunt, gadget and gimmick oriented over anything else, I was disappointing in that film and even though I liked Brosnan I felt it was time for things to move on.
Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace have taken it a bit too far the other way though IMO, a lot darker and heavier with all the fun gone, I enjoyed Q and the one-liners. This new film seems to be straddling a kind of middle ground which has me optimistic and hopefully will work out well.
