Quote HistoryQuoted: "Casino Royale." They got worse as they went along, IMO. Skyfall was better than Quantum (not like that was a difficult thing), but yes. Still haven't seen the last one. The opening car chase in QoS was good though. I have no idea why Cubbie and co. didn't try to lock down the director and writing team for Casino Royale. |

Skyfall.
MI6 gets bombed. Javier Bardem's in it. The finale at Bond's childhood home. Death of M. Cinematography of Roger Deakins. It had everything. |

I’m a sucker for a good origin-story.
Hands-down Casino Royale. It shows you the exact moment he became the James Bond the world would come to know and fear. The exact moment one man died and another was born. |

I really liked “Skyfall”. Other than the stupid subway derail scene, it was Fleming’s Bond without the silliness found in many of the movies.
Quantum of Solace was good, too. Casino Royale was good but Craig seemed unsure of himself in the role. Spectre was OK but Craig seemed to be phoning it in to a certain extent. No Time To Die was my next favorite. I thought Craig was spot-on in his portrayal, plenty of plot, plenty of twist and we saw the Human side of Bond, much like OHMSS (which I consider to be one of the best in canon) |

I hated Skyfall, and I'll tell you why... Bond goes off the reservation and kidnaps M, to save her. Fine. Except... he doesn't fucking save her. She gets killed.
Bond would have been branded a loose cannon, the whole mess would be blamed on him, and he'd be buried under the goddamn prison. Suspension of disbelief is one thing, pants on head retarded is another. |

Casino royale but the story makes no sense, doesn’t matter good action.
Quantum of solace is under rated and a pretty good movie. Skyfall is pants on head retarded writing. Incredibly over rated The rest the writing gets worse and worse. |

The one where he dies…so we can finally get a new Bond. Bond movies pretty much suck lately. Q is a peter puffer. M is dead and gone…only to be replaced by the serial killer from Red Dragon. The only redeeming feature from the most recent movie was Ana de Armas.

For me, it's a tossup between Casino Royale & Skyfall.
Craig was closer to the Bond of Fleming's books than any of the other actors. "Would that be shaken or stirred, Mr. Bond?" "Do I look like I give a damn?" |

Tough Question, the best movie was indeed Casino Royal. The Best Bond movie for aficionados was Skyfall. Lots and lots of references to earlier movies in the genre.

Casino Royale is the best Craig Bond movie without a doubt, followed by Skyfall. I’m not sure the hate about the movies being unbelievable, none of them, the Connery, Moore, Dalton, Lazenby, or Brosnan films, none are believable.
And while I agree that Sean Connery is THE Bond, Craig and Dalton play it closest to the book for what it’s worth. Y’all can fight me but Roger Moore was the worst Bond. Can’t say George Lazenby even counts. |

I wouldn't know, never watched any of them.
I remember reading an article about how he showed up for location filming for his first Bond film and admitted that he couldn't drive a stick. If my memory is right, he said Bond should be a gay. lol. Edit: Goldeneye FTW. |
