Though Casino Royale seemed to reinvent the James Bond franchise with its gritty style, the rest of Daniel Craig’s films slowly lost their bite.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT After a decade and a half of playing the titular secret agent in the James Bond franchise, Daniel Craig never quite managed to separate himself from the character’s origins. He was a controversial casting when he was first announced to play Bond in 2005, but he quickly allayed any fears about his potential with his phenomenal performance in the critically-acclaimed Casino Royale a year later.
It’s arguable that Craig was let down by the writers’ decision to gradually reintroduce the franchise to its old overused tropes. Casino Royale did not feel like a James Bond film at all. Like Timothy Dalton’s The Living Daylights and License To Kill, it was bold, adventurous, and proudly subverted its audience’s expectations.
By his fifth film, however, Daniel Craig was ready to quit James Bond, and he made it quite clear that he had been for a few years. Though the writers tried again to explore James Bond’s capacity for romantic and familial love in No Time To Die, it was too little too late because the franchise had already reverted away from this in the preceding films.
