I’ve seen all the Bond films many times. I have to say that Casino Royale is the best plot, best action and still true to the Bond role. It gets my vote for the best Bond film in the stable.
Agree. Bond should be snapping necks and banging tens. Anything else doesn’t cut it.
“I have to say that Casino Royale is the best plot, best action and still true to the Bond role.”
Honestly I thought the plot was standard for a Bond film (i.e. one step away from being a farce). The action was good - again standard for a Bond film but had more realism (which is a standard for action films today). I thought the film was enjoyable but I could not understand at all why people thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. It also lacked some Bind film standards (i.e. no Moneypenny, no Bond theme except when all but hidden in “Trip Aces”, “Bond Wins It All” and several other cuts from the soundtrack). I also think Eva Green is HUGELY overrated. She has a nice figure but Caterina Murino in the same film looks ten times better. Her acting ability is average, her overbite annoying, etc.
Yeah... but if you saw Dr. No and Ursula Andress in her white bikini when you were 15 years old, that would be your favorite Bond movie...:^)

I hope you’re not referring to the one starring David Niven...
