Casino Royale is the best bond

Few days ago, i rewatched the latest Bond movie starring Daniel Craig with my deedoo (she didn't watch it before) and i still think that it is the best ive seen so far. Keep in mind that i'm comparing it only to those by Pierce Brosnan (haven't watched the old ones) which followed the same style and concept for 4 films straight. Some people don't agree with me though, saying it was quite boring. I guess the argument here is that there was only one true action scene in the movie which was the first 10 minutes of the movie. I didn't mind though, not having mindless gun fights and explosions that dominated the past movies. I thought the story and plot was more rich, and the characters are much more interesting to watch. It felt more like a movie on its own rather than an episode in the series, which i realli liked. There was some down moments though such as the dumb secondary Bond girl and the mushy moments almost at the end. But that will be nitpicking, i though it was a really good movie.

Other movies along the same line includes Superman Returns and Batman Begins, which i thought were very good movies for the same reasons. I guess you can't ever satisfy both mainstream and movie purists. I'm a lil bit in the middle.
