This Bond is going to be more to the tune of From Russia with Love (real spy story, in the clasic style of Ian Flemming, good acting/direvcting/etc., not reliant on gadgets and hollywood cliches), not Die Another Day (a plane on fire for a half an hour and an invisible Aston).

Yes, I did see Batman Begins, I thought it was just above marginal at best, especially when it's asking $10.50 of my hard earned dollars.
Again, rehashing the same brand that's been beaten to a pulp. (Personally I liked the Tim Burton as that captured the Dark Knight in it's darkest moments for me)
I did love the older parts of the Bond series, and if they can renergize it I guess that's great, but with other franchises that are now taking the torch from Alias to XXX the Bond series doesn't have much to distinguish itself anylonger in the playfield.
