Bond Vs. Bond, Round 2

"Human Beings fear change"-some philosopher dude.
First, we have Casino Royal, and now, Quantum of Solace, two movies that have reinvented the 007 series with a new star, a new enemy and a new, grittier approach, however, are they doing anything more than dividing Bond Fans?
It used to be the only discussion you would hear Bond fans talking about is 'who is better, Connery or Brosnan,' or 'which theme is number 2 on your list, cause we all know Live and Let Die is number one.' However, with the release of the second film, I'm noticing more and more people debating (that's the nicest way to describe it) whether or not this reinvention is reshaping the character they have loved for over 20 movies.
I am going to see the movie very shortly, but between Casino Royal and some reviews I have read so far, the biggest complaint I have heard is "it's not Bond," referring to the lack of swagger, sophistication and charm that Bond is known for. Instead, the film chooses to concentrate on more action, more of a darker, grittier Bond then perhaps what we are used to with the previous incarnations of Bond.
So, the question is, is a darker, more action packed Bond just a Bourne movie with an accent, or is this simply an evolution that is necessary to keep the character relevant in today's society? Let's face it, most of the people who will see this movie either don't know what the cold war was, or if they do, it's confined to history books, so that plot is out, but the swagger and style of Connery, Dalton, Moore and the rest has evolved into a more in-your-face Bond, and lets face it, that's what is selling tickets. I know I want to see a great car chase (a requirement for any good Bond film) I want to see why Bond is such a feared opponent by all his enemies, and I want to see Bond do more than just charm the ladies. What I don't want to see, however, is pretending the other films don't exist, and the fans aren't important, I think they will need to start bringing the two elements together to focus on a more badass Bond, but one is is suave, too. Is Daniel Craig the actor for that, I'm sure the ladies will say yes, I guess we'll find out.
So, who is right, is this an evolution of Bond, or is it a bastardization of a cinematic hero (I've always wanted to use 'bastardization,' it's such a great word to say, c'mon, say it, you know you want to)? In my opinion, they are simply laying the groundwork for a reinvention of the character, but they don't seem to be giving us much to start out with, I think the action is necessary, and money seems to point to the darker and grittier these days, cough Dark Knight, cough, but, for me, there is something comforting about those cheesy villains, those great one-liners, and the over the top action scenes, and I think, paying a bit more homage to that would be a smart move in reuniting such a passionate, and broad fan base.
So, go see Quantum of Solace, and remember, it's simply a foundation of things to come, are you going to like the direction of the modern Bond?
