Quote HistoryQuoted: 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 agree. CR is pretty good as well, but I think Skyfall has more depth and is more cinematic. |

Gotta go with Casino Royale. It brought the franchise back from its death spiral, and reinvigorated it.
The opening parkour scene was very cool to watch for the first time. It really did reset the expectation of Bond into him being an athletic somewhat brutal man. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Craig was a pretty good Bond. Connery was the best. I would have liked to have seen Idris Elba play Bond. Craig was a so-so Bond. The original idea for Bond was, "an elegant man." Ian Fleming thought Connery was too rough for the job, and Craig can't hold a candle to Connery's charm. If you want a brutal killer, stick to the Bourne movies. If you want action, stick to Mission: Impossible. If you want class, Bond is (was  ) your man.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Pretty much nailed it. |

Spectre. The scene where bond shows Moneypenny the video tape from M, then goes beyond MI-6 to recruit and do the right thing. Craig’s Bond has realistic emotions and makes his revenge authentic, instead of just a guy doing what he’s told like previous Bonds.

Daniel Craig is the only Bond actor worth the title. The rest are soyboy pretty boys or Sean Connery, who only gets props because he was the first popular Bond actor.

Also the opening scene was great, as was 'Dead Bond's' new life on the beach playing the scorpion game... Best of the Craig era, and I'd say in the Top 7 of 007 movies. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think I saw every Pierce Bronsnan bond and not a single Daniel Craig Bond. Pierce is the best post-Connery Bond. Also, check out The Fourth Protocol. Free on Youtube, Pierce is fucking scary as 'Evil Bond.' Wayyyyyy more ruthless then anything we've seen in a Bond movie.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I liked Casino Royale because it wasn't a bunch of over the top bullshit. He wasn't some Royal Navy fag, he was actual ex SAS. Actually brought into the 20th century with his pistol etc. Pierce Brosnan brought Bond into the modern pistol age with the Walther P99 in 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies (overall the best equipped Bond movie in terms of realistic gadgets; IED detonator watch FTW):   |

I spent some time at the Chateau Chantilly for the World Helicopter Championships. Beautiful area, not too far from Paris. If the movie's on TV I'll watch just for that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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?" This, I voted Skyfall but in reality could go either way. Only one I didn't care for was Quantum of Solace. I've been a life long Bond fan and I try to just enjoy the genre and not over think it. I like some movird more than others and some Bond actors more than others but I think every actor brought something to the franchise and the character or at least had one good movie. So maybe not Lazenby but he did bed every hot female actress on the set (like rumor had it, every one of them) and he somewhat pulled off wearing a ruffle shirt. Connery could not have worn a ruffle shirt
