Ehh, I always felt plenty of Moore in the post-Goldeneye Brosnan stuff. It's toned down a good deal of course, nowhere near as camp (and hell, a handful of the Moore movies are awesome anyway), guess it always just conflicted a bit too much with the original characterization for me. Bond's a smartass, yeah, but he's also a pretty messed-up dude.
Not that you can't have fun with the guy, but there's a balance. Connery obviously had the smartass one-liners and all, Lazenby too, they all do to a certain degree. But there's probably a ceiling in how far you want to go with that in a modern Bond flick.
With you on the it-shouldn't-be-personal stuff though. Bond's pretty much gone rogue in every Craig movie (guess not so much Casino, but he's still not exactly passing on the whole story to his bosses either), we need to switch things up from that. I'd love to get away a little from this personal relationship with M we've had for all the Dench era and now starting down that road with Fiennes, too. Just more "hey James, here's your mission, go carry it out and try not to bang everything that moves and pile up another body count", maybe even another 00 agent or two in the mix (not revealed as villains or anything). Sure there are other ways to craft an inventive/interesting plot and add new things even within a more straight-up seemingly simple narrative structure.
Pretty much over the "he gets too close to some chick he's just met, she gets taken by the bad guys and now the gloves come off" schtick.
