The James Bond reboot was deeper than you thought (from Warren Ellis, via kottke.org):
In CASINO ROYALE, James Bond is the Bond girl. Look at the way they even show him emerging from the ocean like Ursula Andress. Sexual torture, too, if less creepy-glam than being stripped and painted gold. Vesper Lynd is Bond: never not in control, never without a plan, seducing to further her goals. She has to die so Bond can become her.

I can see all that, but I find it hard to believe that the writers were really that clever.
