Personally, while I will consider this a proper 21st film in the official James Bond series, I will imagine that Daniel Craig’s James Bond as a man not only starting out as 007 but also one that owns the previous 20 films on DVD and watches them occasionally for a laugh.īecause, ultimately, the biggest difference between the Bond series and other spy film series (most notably the modern Bourne movies) is the character of James Bond. Kyle’s review: It seems a bit disingenuous to say that Casino Royale is a reboot of the James Bond film series, since there are a few elements that carry over from the Brosnan films (most notably Dame Judi Dench as M) it is slightly more accurate to say that this film simply hews more closely to the Ian Fleming novel(s) than established series continuity. Kyle’s rating: There are 24 ways the show 24 influenced this new take on Bond I’ll share them with you some day.
