Casino Royale / UK / 2006
I know that for some dweebs out there this is sacrilege, but this really is the best Bond film ever made. Finally we have a character at the centre of all the mayhem. And what mayhem!

I completely and utterly agree. Ever since I saw Dr. No as a kid I thought, just once, I’d love to see a Bond film with fewer gadgets, more edge, and far, far less tongue-in-cheek humor (or even less of Bond’s tongue in some lady’s cheek). Unfortunately, I don’t know how they can now continue. For years, other films outdid the Bond franchise (whether it be the Bourne series, or The Incredibles). Everyone knew the formula and did it so much better than any of the self-parodying Bond films could. Until Casino Royale. Even if that title had only ever been tied to dreadful rag tag spy comedy, they managed with a slightly longer than necessary script, to make a great Bond movie.

it seemed the production staff was hell-bent on bringing back the Bond that was respected by readers everywhere when the author first put pen to paper. this would ultimately mean stripping out all the nonsense and re-inserting realism back into Bonds’ character, imperfections and all. i like this Bond because he’s real: a real mean asshole.
