Haha. I was thinking the exact same thing. Every time I see a movie like this I wonder about the lives of the random bad guys.

Finally saw it this was Craig's first movie I'd call a true Bond film.

He still doesn't look anything like Bond. Good movie though.

Whatever... he doesn't fit your preconceived notion of what Bond should look like. Don't you think it's time you got over it?

:facepalm:

Preconceived notions are difficult to overcome, so I get it.

That said, this was the closest film in 50 years to capture the essence of the Sean Connery led James Bond.

As others have mentioned, this film completed the "Origin Trilogy". It taught us who Bond was before he became the true 007. Everything in this film had reason and the final scene was, IMO, amazing, fun and led me to believe that this "origin" period is over: The next wave of Bond films will return to the gadgets, intrigue and Bond girls of the early 60's.

Or so I hope.

I loved it. The way he approached the casino in the boat reminded me of the old school films.

How was Casino Royale not considered a true Bond film?

I can see how QOS was kinda crappy, but Casino Royale was great.

No Q. No gadgets. No suave.

don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVED Casino Royale, but it really wasn't a true Bond movie.

Yhe whole Craig series has been a "Bond becoming Bond" series. Bruce Wayne wasn't Batman until he became Batman.

No. This is James Bond

Find me some guy with 80% of this guy's suave-machismo, and I'll give up the fight.

Personally, Connery isn't even the second best Bond. But seriously, just because your favorite Bond looks that way doesn't mean every Bond has to. Get the **** over it.

I was a Craig resister and I just watched Skyfall, a great film in all aspects of Bond films. I'm a fan again now.

ROFL

I'm on record here and elsewhere as not being a Connery Bond fan. I like both Craig and George Lazenby better. Moore, for what the movies were, was good. Frankly, I'd put Connery maybe above only Timothy Dalton.

I love Connery as an actor, but as Bond... pass.
