Not only was 2008’s Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig ’s worst James Bond movie, but the outing almost ruined his reputation as 007 before it was even established. James Bond seemed to be in a tricky situation back in 2005. 2002’s Die Another Day was a campy misfire and a disappointing swan song for Pierce Brosnan’s winking, self-aware take on 007 — and the franchise seemed to be out of touch with the prevailing culture.
Hardened, brooding spies like Jason Bourne made James Bond look like a goofy caricature, and the dark tone of post-9/11 blockbusters made Bond’s adventures seem outdated.

Casino Royale’s James Bond backstory allowed the franchise to redefine 007’s entire aesthetic, dropping the outlandish gadgets and smarmy one-liners in favor of a darker tone and bloodier action.
