James BOND. Which movie is the best?

The Sean Connery movies stand out.  In order of my favorites: Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia With Love, Dr. No, and You Only Live Twice.  Stay away from Thunderball and Never Say Never Again (his 1980s comeback). And most definitely stay away from the Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan movies (too many to mention).

it is far superior to anything preceding as far as the original stories are concerned. hair colour aside, daniel craig fits the description of james bond perfectly. he makes him human. he falls in love, makes mistakes, is seriously hurt and visibly distressed when vesper dies at the end, again more faithful to original stories where bond was often sick after killing or seeing people killed, and was frequently injured. the fight scenes and set pieces are gritty and believable (unlike the absurd 'windsurfing an arctic tidal wave' scene from die another day). although i am a huge fan of the other films, casino royale was a much needed breath of fresh air as the series was becoming repetitive and stale.

Casino Royale is good among normal english films. It is not upto the standards set by old James Bond Movies

The thing is that it is nothing like the Bond films that we have had for the last few years.\nThis is a good gritty film and because of the back to basics type story it is worth talking about.

Ok, the Rock was a good movie.  Sean Connery is awesome.  So what was the question?

British actor Sean Connery was the first James Bond.\n\nHe did a total of six movies as James Bond :: Dr. No (1962), From Russia With Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), Diamonds Are Forever (1971).\n\nSome say that he is the best bond of all and I totally agree with this statement.

I love Daniel Craig. He's like the next best thing to Sean Connery and way better than Brosnan. Casino Royale has become my favourite Bond movie and Goldfinger has to take second place for now. Hahahaha! It's really a cool movie and there's a sentimental part of Bond, which shows that he's a real man! Daniel Craig really is an amazing actor.

How can you even question the original?  Connery had class, intrigue, style, and the best one liners in the Bond series (the necessary qualities for a good MI spy).

Not too late. The original "Casino Royale" came out after "Dr. No" the first Bond movie.

My all time favourite movie is "Braveheart".  Recently I have enjoyed "King Kong", "Elizabethtown" and "The Island".

I saw this at a cast and crew screening in London last weekend: I'm not a huge Bond fan, but I do enjoy them on a purely popcorn level and this was definitely one of the best in recent memory. The tone is much edgier and nastier than the Brosnan movies, harking back more to Dr. No or For Your Eyes Only. The action sequences are brilliantly shot and edited for maximum impact and are some of the best out of any Bond movie. Martin Campbell, who also made 'Goldeneye', was an excellent choice and, for me, is one of the best Bond directors. What gives this the lead over recent Bonds is the more realistic feel: the exotic locales, fast cars, spectacular action, beautiful women and many other Bond hallmarks are all here but gone is the campy tone that marred, say, Die Another Day. Yes, the whole franchise is based on an entirely ridiculous and cartoonish notion but the more serious and harder-edged tone works really well here. In this context, Daniel Craig gives an excellent performance as Bond. I'll be the first to admit that I raised an eyebrow when I heard he was cast but he really makes it his own. It's hard to say whether he's better than any of the other Bonds: Connery and Brosnan felt right for the style of Bond movies they were in. Here, as suits the overall tone of the film, Bond is much more of a sadist, a cold-hearted killer with very little sense of empathy and Craig, with his piercing eyes, suits the role very well. He's charming and funny when required and totally convincing in the action sequences. The violence is less cartoon-like and flippant, too, with every punch, kick and shooting looking like they really hurt. Also, the story is just much more engaging than many a Bond film; the script's not going to win awards but it's consistently inventive and intriguing. Whilst the film has enough of it's fair share of action, the emphasis is equally on character and storyline and less on gadgets and sheer implausibility. When there isn't a huge action sequence happening, you don't miss it: the film's longest set-piece, the poker game at the Casino Royale, is as (or not more) gripping and entertaining than any of the chases and shoot-outs. The only minor gripes that I have are a slightly too long running time: the film drags a wee bit towards the end and, although it helps the tone of the film, we don't hear enough of the Bond theme tune! However, great directing and performances from everyone involved, along with Phil Meheux's excellent cinematography, Peter Lamont's as ever superb production design and all the other top-notch craft and technical departments make 'Casino Royale' a classy and very enjoyable night out at the movies.
