It's a dramatic departure from the campy Rodger Moore and sly adventures of Sean Connery. Taking a cue from the Bourne franchise, this Bond is a spy who knows how to take a lot of hits before delivering his own fatal blow. I loved their thriller focus and rough-edged fisticuff fight sequences. Others are less passionate.įor me personally, it doesn't get much better than Skyfall with Casino Royale running a close second. Some love his turn that started with Casino Royale, the franchise's first true sequel Quantum of Solace, the excellent Skyfall, and the somewhat divisive but return to traditional formula Spectre. Craig has arguably left an indelible mark of the series depending of course on who you ask. But that's par for the course for this franchise. Every actor has sparked some debate of one kind or another.įrom Doctor No to the upcoming No Time To Die marking 25 official films in the franchise - with a couple of side entries if you chose to accept those entries - that's a hell of a long run for any franchise. Who will be the new Bond? Will there be another James Bond? A Jane Bond? Whatever direction the Broccoli family decides to take England's number 1 badass - it'll certainly be interesting and spark a metric ton of debate within the fanbase.
From Connery to Lazenby back to Connery onto Moore then to Dalton off to Brosnan and now with Daniel Craig facing his grand finale as James Bond.
