If you have any interest in Bond films then Casino Royale is a must.

Casino Royale was very solis in no small part to being based on the original Bond novel. That being said I don't think Daniel Craig was ever a good fit as Bond. He just never encompasses the character an it actually shows the most in this film despite being by far the best of the Craig Bond films.

The biggest "what if" for me is if Clive Owen hadn't narrowly missed out on the role. Craig is an alright actor but every time I see this it just seems to me like the rebooted "harsher" tone and aesthetic of the Bond franchise was tailor made for Clive Owen and I still believe the film would have been stronger with him.

It's a total shame that he is likely too old now to ever take over the role

Skyfall and Spectre are my two least favourite Bond films, so anything else is better and is more likely to be enjoyed.

Quantum of Solace is no better than Skyfall and Spectre. But yeah, Casino Royale is definitely better.
