10 Best Scenes From The Daniel Craig Bond Movies
4. The Names Bond (Casino Royale)
With so many of Bonds signature traits being re-introduced throughout this reboot, we still had yet to hear him famously utter his name. Likewise, the iconic theme music had been withheld through nearly the entirety of the film. The movie was winding to a close, and we wondered if these famous staples of the series werent going to be included at all.
This all changed as Mr. White answers the phone outside of his estate and is promptly shot in the leg by Bond. As he tries to crawl away, Bond slowly walks over him. The music begins to grow louder as Bond reveals himself, dressed in a suit, phone in one hand, gun in the other. Finally, after the slow reveal and deliberate lingering, where were practically asking for it at this point, the music swells and Bond introduces himself, The names Bond, James Bond.
With that, the music crescendoes and the famous theme plays as the credits roll. Its such a satisfying moment to cap off the film and truly cemented Daniel Craig in the role.
