'Casino Royale' (2006).  On the final Bond actor, just a few more movies
before I reach the end of the Bond series.  Too bad there won't ever be
another Bond movie again.

 Wow. It's hard to believe that this movie is nearly two decades old.
 So, revisiting the movie, what did you think?
 

I liked it.  I remember back when it first came out my super-short review of it was "Bond's got 'tude!"  :)
I think the Connery ones were rough.  The Moore ones were fun.  Dalton and Brosnan wanted darker, grittier but didn't really get that.  Craig _did_ get dark and gritty.  'Casino Royale' was a reboot in more ways than one.  It wasn't just another change in actor but a change in how Eon approached Bond movies.  And having a story line that actually spanned multiple films is a big plus in my mind.
