Best Bond film does set a low bar

But I think this still flies way under it. I'm not much of a Bond fan but I seem to remeber some of them, like Goldfinger being stylistically consistant, humorous, and not nearly so stupid. I don't rmember anyof them having a dreadfully bad poker game in the middle of them with an arbitrary deadly poisoning only to be foiled by one of the most ridiculous Bond devices ever contrived and the lucky expertise on such devices by the Bond chick who just happened by his car at th very last second during what? a casual walk in the parking lot? But of course he was fine to continue the game and no one had any interest in persuing the person who poisoned him. I could go on and on about how pathetically stupid this movie was. Is that really true, even more so about all the Bond films? Didn't the really stupid ones from the past, at least some of them, establish a cinematic style that said "we are going to be over the top with our tongues in our cheeks?" Casino Royale had no specific style. Each segment was completely different from each other. Oh well you can fool some of the people all of the time etc.
