Maybe the James Bond movies aren't high art, but they're a large enough part of the pop-culture canon to have inspired some great criticism.

The sheer amount of text, published at Badass Digest, is intimidating to behold, but don't be turned away; there are some lovely musings on the movies. Here's Hulk on the tonal shift at the end of Dr. No: "THEY'VE TAKEN YOU OUT OF BLINDING DARKNESS AND PLUNGED YOU INTO DAYLIGHT."
