Because if you want to sell, you need to have a likeable character and a happy ending.
That was true in the 1960s but certainly not now. That's why there's some sort of tragedy at the end of all of Daniel Craig's Bond films, and he's not nearly as likeable as most of the other Bonds.
Another thing Craig's Bond gets very right.
Only if you're judging the films purely based on the novels. I'm not one who judges the films based on how much they are like the books.

If that were the case with ME, TND would not be my third favourite Bond.
I appreciate a literary Bond best, when done right (and I will be the judge of that for ME), but a rousing cinematic Bond with all the bells & whistles is cool too IMO. {[]

Yes, in a 1970s interview (on the DAF SE DVD) Connery said that he had read three of the Bond novels.
