Gadgets, one liners, and babes are all being overlooked for a darker reality based Bond, and even though I think Daniel Craig is excellent for the role I miss the nuances that made the Connery flicks so Iconic.

Omega paid their way to get the screen time but nothing beats the old Rolly on 007's wrist. Let's hope that they realize that there is still a huge following of Bond lovers who grew up on the films that would like to see some of the old iconic features of a Bond put back into the new genre of Bond movies.

Do you expect me to talk.....No Mr.Bond...I expect you to die!

Cheers all!

I agree to an extent, but I like the direction Bond is headed. We were just introduced to Moneypenny, M, and Q, plus they (officially) brought back the PPK, so maybe in the future we'll see a return to the nuances you spoke of and finally be able to stray from the Omegas Pierce Brosnan introduced.
