#I'm gonna watch Casino Royale wish me luck

I was checking Daniel Craig's Bond Movies and
First of all, they're far less than I thought. Second, from the perspective of someone who doesn't really know her James Bond and, from what she does know, doesn't like the saga, they are, in order:
1) The one with Mads Mikkelsen. I vaguely remember a bloody shower. Eva Green plays someone named Vesper? I was half asleep in a hotel room somewhere in Europe when I watched this for the first and only time.
2) Written during the first Screenwriters Strike and you can tell (I remember someone said that their cinema professor in college used the opening sequence of Quantum of Solace to show how not to direct an action scene)
3) As someone who doesn't like James Bond, I love this. I love Skyfall so much. I am obsessed with it. I have watched it 5 times. I will watch it again many, many more. Everything about this movie compels me. I feel it's specifically because it seems to be the less Bond-like.
4) Sucks so bad I read a brilliant fanfiction (here's the link) about how this shit was made up by James Bond in a false report and even M was like "Jesus Christ this doesn't make any sense if you want to falsify a report you have to at least make it believable".
5) It seemed like everybody hated that one for some reasons. I didn't like it, but I generally do not like James Bond's movies, so I don't count. Rami Malek was there. The soundtrack was written by Billie Eilish. Ana De Armas was hot for those like 15 minutes she was there. They mentioned "Berlusconi bunga bunga" at some point and it scarred me for life.
#I'm gonna watch Casino Royale wish me luck#I have a hate (James Bond's brooding and silent type who is absolutely boring for me and also none of the romances compel me) -#love (Daniel Craig and Q especially played by Ben Whishaw and 00q and the incredible cast these movies are always filled with) relationship#with James Bond#I will embark on a journey and watch all of Craig's movies#and then when I have more time I'll start from the very beginning of the saga. And I'll do that even if I end up hating the Craig's movies#(aside from Skyfall. Skyfall I love you)#because to quote Daniel Craig's again#me @James Bond saga: It makes no damn sense. Compels me though.#james bond#007#daniel craig#And I also wanna say this. A lot of people say they don't like James Bond because he's a male power fantasy yadda yadda yadda.#I disagree. Power male fantasies can actually be fun and enjoyable. Take Indiana Jones or some of the Mission Impossible movies.#James Bond just decided to be a boring one.#of course this is all MY OPINION. If you love James Bond that's great I just think he should be a little sillier.#Maybe he is in the older movies. I'll find out.
