As for Rodger Moore, I think all of his Bond films are a joke and disgrace to not only the bond franchise, but also to Ian Fleming.
Funny enough, that's exactly how I view Purvis & Wade and Paul Haggis's CASINO ROYALE, though I imagine for different reasons than the anti-fun, dark n gritty Bond fans of the GOLDENEYE N64 generation.
I was the Roger Moore generation and i love the' dark n gritty' Bond we have now, finding it huge fun.
In fact i think it's the other way around, if you look at the eras objectively it's the 70's / early 80s Moore films that scream comic-strip, appealing more to the pre-teens (which i was at the time, so i got lucky there i guess).
Dalton's era has all the earnestness of mid to late teenage mentality - the naivety to believe you can change the world. Brosnan's era goes from adventure to sheer stupidity (perhaps that's the LSD experimentation of one's 20's while Craig's has the cynicism of the older gent whose seen dreams gone astray as the gritty realities of life dismember the fantasies of youth.
Or you could say that 9/11 had this effect on western culture as a whole - a stark wake up call that makes the old fashioned imperialistic adventures of Moore et al just a little hokey, naive and outdated.
I imagine someone like Fleming, with his WW2 experience would simply see the post 9/11 generation as woken up form a mass delusion in which, between wars, western society forgot about the realities of conflict. In short i think it's the Craig era that would chime closest to Fleming's world view and if you feel that in turn chimes with the 'GOLDENEYE N64 generation' then draw your own conclusions.
