By everyone, that would be the few people here. Seeing as Bond movies were still pulling in big bucks, and most people did not like the casting of Craig prior to the first films release, I'd hazard a guess that not that many people were really that upset by the traditional Bondisms, in fact, I am sure the fact the franchise has been going since 1962, I'd say most people expect Bondisms.
The last Brosnan film was still a huge success, and many people wanted him to continue, unlike say George Clooney in the Bat franchise.
According to IMDB, Casino Royale did only $6 million more than Die Another Day, in the USA, so it was hardly reviving a dying franchise now was it!
