When Casino Royale (and Quantum of Solace) relaunched the Bond franchise, it was hard to note that the makers borrowed much from the Jason Bourne approach. Sure, the first film was almost mostly the first James bond book, but the approach and Bond’s new relationship to women seemed lifted whole stock from Bourne.
But – as that is pretty much undeniable – Bond has always been something of a magpie in the post-Connery era, ready to steal from whatever is popular at the moment. Such dates all the films, but in a way that is sometimes pleasing, and at other times noxious.
