I am a James Bond fanatic and I think any series of movies that is 45 years long does need some reinvention and or some evolution to differentiate them over time. Pierce Brosnan had issues with the character being too cheesy. Roger Moore is unhappy with the lack of tongue- in-cheek humor.
Similarly Living Daylights and License to Kill never really got any sort of attention. When asked "Who is your Favorite Bond?" who ever says Timothy Dalton?
