the mythologized bond of the older films worked much better in the cold war. Jason Bourne films are a natural product of the changing public perception of spies in the post 9/11 era. I think the grittier Craig reimagining was inevitable as 'good v evil' bond narratives had only become more outlandish and irrelevant as the 2000s rolled on.
