A spy's main job is intelligence gathering, not blowing stuff up and killing people. Read a memoir of a retired CIA officer and you will quickly understand that Bond doesn't resemble a spy in the slightest. Don't get me wrong, I still find the movies entertaining. I consider them action movies, not spy movies. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy I think is a better depiction.
