The Daniel Craig James Bond movies and the Christian Bale Batman movies feel the same to me, overly serious and not fun enough of an attitude. Focusing on the James Bond movies, the older ones are special and entertaining because of the rhythmic mix of diverse attitudes, atmospheres, and "action"s. The recent ones are single note and soon enough into one requires tolerating because it has gotten boring.
True, but perhaps it's because we are living in a much more illustrated dark world than before. Meaning audiences have access to all kinds of daily life misery around the world with the internet and Youtube and such.
