Casino Royale

Probably the best Bond ever made in many respects, this one is truly amazing. Vesper Lynd is one of the characters in any Bond, and Daniel Craig is perfect. Le Chiffre is a great villain, there isn’t much more to say. Perfectection.

Casino Royale

Checking in one last time on this rough-around-the-edges-lost-in-some-feels Bond. Some great action set pieces (very "readable" given the era's shift towards frenetic editing), but we also just liked how he drives a rental Ford and gets confused for a valet. The Mads Mikkelsen ball-tickling has aged well. Ultimately we stopped the movie once he and Vesper get together and he quits MI-6, content to imagine their remaining globe-trotting meanders and James eventually having to figure out how to be a house-husband.

Watching Mads watching us watching him. (Seeing it again in the immediate aftermath of the last 40+ years of this rather shitty franchise, it answers the question of "What to do with Bond?" better than GoldenEye. Fitting for the director to get a second go with a new decade and a new introspection.)
