Best Bond film ever?

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2006)

In my opinion, yes. Casino Royale is by far the best Bond ever.
Daniel Craig brings an element of humanity to what was becoming an almost comedic role while still managing to maintain a sense of wry humour throughout the film.
Brosnan did wonders with what he was given in the last films but it was definitely time for a new take on the character.
I know a lot of people are lamenting the loss of the camp elements (Q for example) but I honestly believe this is a better film for their not being included.
To all those who complain about the casting or the new direction for the films - can you honestly say that when Daniel finally gets to deliver the "Bond. James Bond" that he doesn't deserve it? That he hasn't earned it? I'd be very surprised if you can.
I could go on for ages about the elements I enjoyed in Casino Royale and all the good things I am so excited about for the future films but I shan't bore you with my rantings. I'll end with this: The whole thing is brilliant. Just brilliant.
I don't know if any of the cast / crew will see this but I just want to say a huge 'thankyou!' for giving us the best Bond ever. Long may Daniel fill the role!
