Casino Royale was the ultimate return for me.
I knew a Bond film could bring what usually made it a guilty pleasure, but never knew one could be that good.
Skyfall felt less like Bond for me than other entries. Maybe that's why Skyfall fans loved it. It took a more intimate/personal approach, and initially it just didn't do it for me. Maybe I need to revisit it.
A lot of the Craig films following CR had immense potential with their premise and the actors they casted for villains, but in the execution fell short. There were a couple abrupt endings that literally felt like we got half a movie. None of them swung for the fences quite like the first (imo).
