Connery's Bond is far closer to the only authentic one,

the 007 of Ian Fleming's books. Craig is charmless, wooden, and has no idea of how to treat a woman: rolling around on the carpet? As I said, "high schoolish."
If I say "go back and re-visit Dr. No if you wish to see a flesh and blood hero and a film made for an adult audience" you'd mistakenly go on and on about how I was expecting a re-hash.
I don't realize if you unfairly argue purposefully or out of lack of skill?
Anyhow, the best martial arts films of the past years have elevated the skill factor of filmed fights. CR's are overly loud (a punch sounds nothing like a steel hammer smashing onto a large metallic surface with a microphone next to it). Here again, you create yet another false analogy, the Jackie Chan strawman.
CR is a film geared to adolescent boys at whom these sorts of movies Hollywood targets. Not too much sex (to offend the parents or get, horrors, a "17" rating).
Lots of explosions and chases.
Now, if you wish to see a real blonde hitman, rent the original "The Day of the Jackal."
That character has everything Craig's Bond does not but exactly is what Fleming had in mind: mysterious, cold-blooded, and an experierenced hand with beautiful women.
