So you missed all of the Pierce Brosnan era, is that right? I forget if Goldeneye was his first one. The Pierce Brosnan Bond films were never my favorites. It's not that I didn't care for Brosnan's performance--he was actually quite good--but rather to say the Bond series during Brosnan's era degenerated into obsessively highlighting quirky gadgets. It wasn't about a suave spy charming his way through pussy galore and henchmen, and finally out-witting the bad guy. It was "Hey guys. Look, a car that turns invisible. Oh em gee isn't it fabulous??"
Eventually they wised up and realized it had gone far enough. Casino Royale was an attempt to get back to the spirit of the old Bond. And in that particular film I think they nailed it. If you haven't seen Casino Royale yet, I highly recommend it be your next Bond film.
