The Name's Bond

There's no doubt that Daniel Craig has made a great new James Bond.

For me his arrival has sparked a new interest in the series, and I respect a more 'keeping it real' approach to Bond. After all was anyone really buying the invisible car and magic watch?

All that said, I am getting a little irritated with Bond being fired or going rogue all the time. How about a movie where he just does his job really well and his bosses thank him for a job well done.

The whole 'bad cop who breaks the rules but gets the job done' thing has been going on for years. Introducing that to the James Bond franchise is a little cheesy. We get that he's a rebel, but there are only so many times you can give a one fingered salute to your employer before they stop taking you back.
