Just saw No Time To Die and it was solid.

That being said Casino Royale takes it for me. Most exciting IMO.

Casino Royale and it’s not close.

Because it’s the best movie.

Didn’t see the last one but it’s my favorite since Craig is done playing Bond.

I mean they all compete well; I could see someone liking Skyfall or No time to die.

My 2nd would be No time to die actually.

Casino Royale had the benefit of not having any baggage. Everything that followed was too self-referential IMHO.

It’s Casino Royale and every other answer is wrong.

Casino Royale because they followed a book with a cohesive plot and great characters for about 90%. All of the others were a freaking mess with Quantum turning into Spectre, stealing the plot of Austin Powers: Goldmember, and shoehorning it in so that somehow, all of the movies in the Craig series were actually about that phantom menace. Bonus points for Quantum of Solace because Gemma Areteton is fine as hell.

Casino Royale for sure.

FWIW, I really enjoyed Skyfall too. It's the second best Craig-led Bond film in my book.

Casino Royale is clearly the answer. Hell, it is probably the best Bond movie of them all. Hard to believe that No Time To Die and nanobots took place in the same movie universe.

I’ll throw this hot take out there: Quantum of Solace isn’t aging poorly. It gets a bad rep because of the writers’ strike but Craig seemed more like Bond in that movie than he did in the others.

Aside from the hotel in the middle of nowhere, it's not a bad coda to Casino Royale. Unfortunately, the villain it helped established was suddenly scrapped for the crap that followed. Again...Strawberry Fields forever.

Casino Royale definitely, it’s in my short list of best of all the Bond films.

I did think No Time To Die was a good return to form though and felt more Bond-like, with a satisfying conclusion for Craig’s version. I’d likely have it #2. The villain wasn’t fleshed out enough, but other elements I enjoyed like the subplots with Felix and the replacement 007. Ana de Armas was great in a really limited role too.

This one because it was easily the most entertaining.

Skyfall would be second place.

CR and Skyfall. The others weren’t worth mentioning. NTTD was a flaming disappointment and felt way out of place as a Bond film. And holy frick. How do you waste not ONE but TWO outstanding actors in weak villain roles in Malek and Waltz?

Ana de Armas stole the show but seemed like she’d have been a better fit in the less serious, far more fun Brosnon movies (sans DAD).

because Gemma Arterton > Eva Green

Daniel Craig is OK and all, but I watch Bond for the babes.

By that logic NTTD wins because Ana beats all the Craig Bond girls.

The villain’s evil plot in Quantom was less evil than what happened in real life.
