Ian Fleming never intended Bond to be a super hero. Craig stayed true to the spirit of Bond, even more so than Connery. DAD was a joke IMO. The later Bond films started lampooning themselves as well or better than Austin Powers ever did, particularly with the ridiculousness of the gadgets. The invisible Aston? Really? Really?!?
Compare the Brosnan films to the Bourne trilogy, and you'll see just how far out the later Brosnan films were. CR got rid of the ridiculous gadgets, the self lampooning, and brought the Bond films back to where they should be IMO. I'll also add that Connery and Craig are also the only two actors with the physical presence to play Bond properly IMO. Brosnan, Dalton and Moore all came across as light weights.
