The Dalton/Brosnan years saw a marked improvement in the quality of Bond films, until the disatrous "Die Another Day", when they returned to the Mooresque camp and BS in spades.
I'm not saying I didn't like the Moore era films. I did and do. But I've always preferred rather more serious Bond films, which is why I am so enamoured of the new "Casino Royale". The Moore Bond always reminds me of the old TV "Batman", another character who can be very well done with a very serious bent, but which also worked as high camp and humor. My opinion of Moore as Bond suffers because of the films he was in, and not due to his having been an inadequate Bond.
