Casino Royale 2006 was perfect refresh, you see some past of your hero, by the end the character bond is 'rebooted'. But I think the next movies till the last one are just atrocious on the franchise.
Too much loosing to what makes it different from others and WHY/What is Bond.
I think like CR2006, in Quantum of Solace they should have refreshed-rebooted the 'franchise' bond , of how James uses quirks to get by his missions, and it should have explored 'the bitch is dead, lesson learned' conclusion, as this movie taunts him, weather james really can not fall in love again. Instead of still whining about vesper. It should have been Camille Mantis/Olga character who should have been thron in his moral compass.
And this movie should have refreshed the various tropes, tropes of kinds of bond-girls, like Camille the lasting girl, Strawberry the one night stand, Veanue as henchwoman to Greene. Brining John Cleese Q, and A new moneypenny, maybe young naomie harris, who is just deskworker. Complete uses of goldeneye like gunbarrel at begining, bond-theme throughout, no good about goodbye as end title song.
I like Dominac Greenes, as he is realistic and have prototype similar plans to that of now-classic villains. But it should have been more eloborated. That loacal military cheif should have been used more prominantly and his soldiers as troops for greene's lair.
It should have been a smoking factor as base of villain. Should have show giant hydrolics and dams as villain's aspirations. And prooving bond hero when water enters the village finally. In the end he should slept with camille, also Veanue but more roughly.
Then in Skyfall, it should have made cleared that lot time have passed between two movies, and Bond have gone on many missions(older movies), as current time/events have always been just setting to tell the story. There could have been a short scene of OLD DUSTY FILES of dr no, arkangel, zorin, thunderball etc. OR AND any official profile of Bond showing he was married once.
And then the movie focuses on keeping the promise of Severine, less personel connection with M and 'Old Man'.
Then in Spectre 2015, it should have been just stated that he have fought this organization, it have fallen, and IT HASN'T in the end.
