Yeah, you can only do that so many times. I really think that's why the series has failed lately. It has become stale. They need something new. Maybe a dark Bond would do that. This is a day and age when dark action is not a bad thing and many recognize that the series is bottoming out. Back when the Dalton Bonds came out, people were still accustomed to the softer Bond that Warbler likes. It was before the series hit the skids. Now that it's firmly entrenched on the skids, I think they can get away with making a change of this magnitude.
Change is good.

So what you're saying is that Bond movies should stick to the formula? Like:
• Pre-opening credits sequence with a 8 minute elaborated stunt impossible in real life.
• Small briefing of the villain and the problem he is bringing to the world.
• Bond sees his new gadgets and make humorous commments on those.
• Bond goes to a country in Europe, meets the villain in a bizarre way that envolves either a game or a dare.
• Bond finds Bondgirl. Feels the urge to have sex with her.
• Bond kills some henchmen and finds out about something, some light plot twist about the villain.
• Bond goes to another country in the world, where the villain's lair is. He takes the Bondgirl for some reason.
• Bond goes on a sequence of stunt after stunt, using his previously presented gadgets, destroying the whole thing.
• Bond gets away and makes love to the Bondgirl. The End.
