They were starting to address his rather out-dated outlook in THE
WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH where it's suggested his need to sleep with every
single woman he meets might not actually be very healthy.

What I liked most about CASINO ROYALE was they dropped the humour, or
rather the attempts at humour. Always found it grating that a suave,
ice-cold double agent who can fly a space shuttle and talk fluently in
dozens of languages should have the wit of an eight year old schoolboy.
