Mostly I agree with you but with Casino Royale the ending was well done. Bond has been reinvented as to who he should be, a proper person instead of some cartoon cutout. It was always known Casino Royale would be the first of the new bond outings so a sequel is inevitable. Also with the Bond character returning to how Fleming saw him we see a pissed Bond going off for revenge.
For the rest though I think you are right.
