Movie No Time to Die

I think Daniel Craig was the best Bond but I'm biased I prefer Bond to be a badass not someone who is constantly making droll quips like Roger Moore.

I think this movie was well done though I agree Casino Royale is the best one.

I think I've seen all of Bond films and some 3-4 times.

Honestly, Craig embodies Bond more than anyone not named Sean Connery. He IS Bond. It'll be hard to replace him IMO.

Totally agree, Sean Connery set the brand.

I remember reading that Henry Cavill was a possible new double o candidate. I think that might work. I know he's super high exposure with his roles in the Witcher and Superman.

Craig's Bond was the closest portrayal of how Ian Fleming envisioned and wrote the character. Believe it or not, for Casino Royale, the extra bulk that Craig put on was too much for that intended character, which even he admitted. It's why he's not as bulked up in the subsequent movies.

I'll admit, at first I didn't like the idea of a blonde Bond, but that is how he is in Fleming's books. I didn't think Daniel Craig had the chops to pull off the character, then I saw him in Layer Cake. There is a scene in which he imitates Bond, and just fucking nails it. That was shortly before he even auditioned for the role. I saw Layer Cake after Casino Royale came out, and have no doubt in my mind they chose correctly.

I read some of the original novels a long time ago, I think there is a lot of room for interpretation. But I think Daniel Craig Bond films flesh out the cruel vibe that I picked up in the books.
