Best Daniel Craig Bond Film?

[Chris Brown]

The blonde bond now has 4 films to his name but which do you think is best and why? I personally think Casino Royale is the best with Quantum of Solace being dead last, by a mile. Spectre and Skyfall sit in middle basking in their goodness, their dull drawn out scenes and loose attempts at relating back to the previous Craig films were too much for me.

I know that these films are all popular and are all considered good but the first was just a bit better for me. I found Spectre, especially, way too easy to predict. Casino Royale however had me gripped the whole way through with the ending in the collapsing building in Venice exciting me way more than the abandoned building on Canary Wharf, my only gripe being the size that Bonds lungs must have been to stay under water for as long as he did.

I also preferred Chris Cornell's Bond song to Adele's and Sam Smiths but feel i am certainly in a minority here!

I think that Casino Royal was a brave move. It took Bond in a much darker, less frivolous direction.

Unfortunately, I find it a bit dull to watch. It's just a little too serious. Quantum of Solace then swung back too far the other way and was just back to Roger Moore "where do the producers want a holiday and how can we make the plot fit those locations?" style of writing.

Skyfall captured the darkness/seriousness of Casino Royal, but it managed to still be constantly entertaining.

I've not seen Spectre yet, but so far, Skyfall.

Out of those, I've only seen Quantum of Solace and thought it was a terrible film, but then again I'm not a big Bond fan at all.

Skyfall, not a question.

Casino Royale is also a great film, the other two are turd.

Skyfall is probably the second best Bond film apart from Goldeneye.

Not seen Spectre but out of the other three I would probably after that Quantum is the weakest. They all seem to blend together though and are all watchable.

Skyfall, easily. Love that film.
Not just the best Daniel Craig Bond, but the best Bond out of all of 'em, by a mile.
In fact, I rate Skyfall as one of the best films of recent years. Period.
And I'm not even a massive Bond fan overall, most of them are ok at best.

If it wasn't for Skyfall, Spectre would be the best Bond movie of all time. That too is a very, very good movie indeed, hugely entertaining and better than most of this years blockbuster offerings.... but just not quite as 'polished' as Skyfall was.

Casino Royale was a brave attempt at doing things a bit differently and shaking up the formula but ultimately it just gets a bit boring..

...and Quantum of Solace was just crap. I must have seen it 3 times now and I still can't remember a thing about it.

I'm yet to see Casino Royale, but from the remaining 3, Skyfall easily takes it. I don't think Spectre is as bad as some people make it to be (I just came home from seeing it), but it just does everything a bit worse than its predecessor did (Christopher Waltz for one was a major disappointment compared to Bardem). It's still a good film, while Quantum of Solace was just crap (it's been years since I've seen it, but I feel no need to rewatch it soon).
