From start to end James Bond -- even the bad ones I enjoy watching when they pop up on the boob tube. I rate from 0 - 55 Being a masterpiece
4 Being Excellent
3 Being Good and the minimum rating for me to recommend the film
2 Being mediocre. Not recommended with too many problems but may hold diverting interest
1 Being a poor film all the way around

Casino Royale (2006) ****I am not going to get into silly debates over who the best Bond is because looking over my list they all made a successful film. Lazenby is the only exception as he was in possibly the best written smartest film of the lot(except for the new Casino Royale) but he simply didn't carry the day as Bond and it suffers as a result.
The rest of the actors each brought something different to the role. I never hate Roger Moore since I grew up with him as James Bond - he played the part tongue firmly in cheek and I had no problem with that. I also like the intense Dalton Bond which reminds me a little more of Daniel Craig. Interesting that perhaps if Dalton had this role at this time instead of in the 80s he would be looked upon in a better light.
