 I remember watching this for the first time and then being so filled with enthusiasm and optimism for the sequels. That ending had such promise. I couldn’t wait to see this James Bond return. But man, was this series ultimately a gigantic let down. Skyfall is pretty good, but even that one didn’t quite live up to the potential. The less said about the other two the better and No Time to Die looks to be the worst one yet. That makes a rewatch of Casino Royale a very bittersweet experience. While doing a survey of movies directer by Sam Mendes--and after completing most others--I ran smack into Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015). That is where my survey ended. I realized that the cool James Bond of the 60s had been taken over by modern CGI. At that point, I lost all interest. Then, we could look forward to Bond doing the impossible. Now, the impossible is expected.
