If you like your James Bond the way Ian Fleming wrote him, then the only Bond movie that even comes close is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (George Lazenby, the first non-Connery Bond, w/ Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas). Very close to the book, and NO gadgets (aside from a trunk-sized safe opener/photocopier). Everyone hates it for no gadgets, but none of Ian FLeming's books have any of the gadgets you see in the same-named Bond movies.

Majesty's has always been one of my favorites. I was really getting in to skiing about then and the skiing is awesome. I think George was fine. A few more films and he would have been one of the greats. This new guy is great. I hope they make more with him and in this latest style. From the box office results I'd say this will be the most successful of all of them.
