So, what’s so special about Casino Royale? There has to be something.
For perspective, Goldfinger (1964) with Sean Connery got 356 votes to secure third place. In fact, according to an IMDB poll that explored the top Bond films with Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig in the role of Bond, 719 votes out of 3,010 said Casino Royale is the best movie. Unsurprisingly, most people agree Casino Royale (2006), which was Craig’s debut as 007, was his best portrayal of the British spy.
Should the 53-year-old be replaced? Who will replace him? Will the latest instalment live up to the hype? Will there be a casino scene? More importantly, what was Daniel Craig’s best movie as James Bond? As celebrities gathered at the James Bond ‘No Time To Die’ premiere at the Royal Albert Hall on September 28, the average Joe sat at home reflecting on the 15 years Daniel Craig spent as the frontman of one of the most recognisable movie franchises ever made.
