Quite seriously though, it really didn't feel like a Bond movie, at all. Then again, the original Casino Royale with Peter Sellers was very oddball, too. It just would have been better if he wasn't Bond, rather one of his peers. Like, I would have loved a 006 movie with Sean Bean because he'd be badass in that. That's what I thought of after Goldeneye.
I actually think you missed the point of the movie.

Bond isn't Bond at this point.

He is not the cool, collected and charming man he is in most of the movies. Instead he is the rought exterior of a man.

And a pretty bad ass one at that.

Also, I think this movie follows more closely in the steps of the books than most of the other movies.

And all in all... it was a friggin badass movie.

And an excellent opening animation I need to find.
