FWIW, The new Bond is actually much closer to Ian Fleming's vision of the original 007, so this is actually a return rather than a departure from the canon. I always thought Pierce Bronson and the other slick-dude Bonds were too smooth to be impressive. In contrast, Daniel Craig's stumbles and trips in the opening chase scene just heightened the tension. He sort of looks like a monkey, yeah, but he seems real which makes the action hotter.
