‘Casino Royale’ (1954)
Directed by William H. Brown, Jr. Peter Lorreas Le Chiffre is a treat, and thoughWilliam H. BrownJr.
Prepare for a major jump in quality, especially production values.
His personality and presence eat the movie around him whenever he’s on screen.
We’ll come to that one much, much later on this list.
Unfortunately, the follow-up toSkyfallis obsessed with callbacks.

The continuing narrative of the Craig era could have worked, if it went somewhere worthwhile.
Frankly it all comes off like Bond is imitating the MCU, or even theFast and Furiousfilms.
You’re the trendsetter, Bond.
Should this have been a continuation ofCasino Royalein the first place?
He blended an edge like Connery’s with Moore’s levity.
The third act ignores the laws of physics.
There’s a “Yo Mama” joke.
Seriously, what the hell?
There’s no getting around the ending, though.
It’s a disgrace, an insult.
It’s unfortunate that this is where we’re at right now with film’s greatest franchise.
What’s more,George Lazenby’s exit left the franchise in a further precarious situation.
