Casino Royale would be the best movie if the third act didn't last for nine hours. Actually, the best movie would be if they turned the book Moonraker into a movie, because that book is fantastic.

Wait why was Spectre poo poo? I never got around to seeing it because I am the only person on Earth who doesn't really like Daniel Craig all that much and didn't like Casino Royale '07. (The book was waaaaay better).

You'd probably like it. It's more lighthearted than the other Craig movies. There's some goofy sight gags, like during the car chase, the fight on the train is outstanding, and M is cool. Although on the other hand there's a few times in the film that I just had to stop and ask, "So why are they here?", plus they had to ruin everything by trying to add continuity between films which is something they never had.

I think it's weird how they turned a one-movie origin story into a tetralogy origin story.

They tried a serious reboot with Lazenby, too, but it was a sour relationship even if the movie was good, so they went back to spectacle Bond.

That wasn't a reboot though. It was just another story about James Bond that happened to star a different person than the other ones. They ground the movies immediately following the most outlandish ones, but none of them said "You know all those other Bond movies? Yeah, those don't count. Check out how Bond really gets going!"



But I guess with a film like Die Another Day, that's the only way to follow it up.
