Skyfall wasn't entirely void of the oldschool Bond cheese, there was even a secret island supervillain lair leading to the mandatory I GOT YOU NOW MR BOND moment where the villain would go on about the mandatory exposition.
And come on, 007 turning an old, decrepit manor into a gigantic booby trap isn't really what I would call SERIOUS BUSINESS, just a different take from Bond using his quick wits to get out impossible situations with the set of tools at hand. I say Skyfall finally got the right tone that the other two Craig movies struggled to find, and the box office certainly supported it.
You can't deny that the retardation that the 007 franchise turned into had to be trimmed out. I find the later Brosnan flicks MUCH more painful to watch than even the most excessive cheesefests of the Moore era. At least with those you get the impression that the cheese is intentional and tongue-in-cheek and everybody was having fun.
