Honestly, as much as I tried to get into Brosnan's Bond, I dipped out pretty quick after he took over. I really haven't been able to get into a Bond since Connery before.
I agree with the latter, but I do think there's a way to update Bond in a way that can be unique unto him. And honestly, with today's rapidly changing culture (which I am all for, btw), I don't see a dinosaur Bond captivating an audience the way it used to.
