and did a good job with it, but the films didn't come together well. Heck George Lazenby was a terrific Bond in a film that doesn't really enough credit for his acting. I even enjoyed the Roger Moore films for the way he did the humor parts.

But Casino Royale with Craig (not the comedy) was put together perfectly in every respect and Craig (and all the other actors) nailed the roles. Quantum and Skyfall have not aged as well for me due to the scripts.
