The first time I saw "The Bourne Identity", I left the theater thinking about how there was no point in making any new Bond movies, as "Bourne" was pretty much the same thing, only much better.
The next Bond movie needs to focus on a couple of things: actually creating exciting car chases (when was the last good Bond car chase?), more direct killing of the bad guys (Guns and martial arts, not silly gadgets), and a generally more masculine Bond. Accomplish these things and maybe, just maybe, you'll create a Bond movie to rival Goldfinger. I'm not holding my breath, though...

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
