I'm in need of solace

Last night we watched Quantum of Solace, how sad. I won't call it a James Bond movie, it just happened to feature a character with the last name Bond. What happened to the old tried and trusted formula? Where is the innuendo, please, we don't have to be PC all the time. The Martini? they made a halfhearted attempt at that in the movie but it fell flatter than the "sex" scene. The scary villain? the persian cat or disfiguered henchman?
If I want an action movie, no contest, it has to be Bruce Willis and preferably a Die Hard movie. Clever plot with lots of action? Well, you can't go wrong with the Bourne movies. In the days of Dirty Harry we knew what to expect just as we do with the Ocean's movies and a host of other franchise films. No one messes with Ice Age or Toy Story so please leave James Bond alone.
