Take, for example, the point when he has escaped being locked up and is crawling around the pipes of Dr No's lair: He injures himself and gets grubby. Now compare to Pierce Brosnan adjusting his tie whilst under water in a boat! The latter, meticulous , the former, a human being. I still regard the first three Bond films, and the most recent Casino Royale to be the best. Dr No also humanises Bond.

James Bond as Luke Skywalker. The ridiculous space battle with lasers is very funny, but not because it wants to be. The only Bond movie that matters is OHMSS, because it's the only one where Bond is humanized to the point where he seems vulnerable and even scared. I should also put Casino Royale in there I guess. It almost qualifies. Moonraker was obviously intended as a Star Wars rip-off. James Bond as Luke Skywalker. The ridiculous space battle with lasers is very funny, but not because it wants to be.
