The Worst Moment Of Every James Bond Film - Ranked

24. Casino Royale - Product Placement

Casino Royale is one of the best film origin stories of all time and while it's not quite the best James Bond film - Skyfall, Goldfinger, From Russia with Love and Goldeneye are all better - it is still the only one where no particularly awful moment leaps out at you immediately.

In terms of bad scenes, it's largely in the clear, which is a testament to how good it really is. The only thing that sticks out much is the blatant product placement during the scene where Bond (Daniel Craig) and Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) first meet.

Vesper: Since MI6 looks for maladjusted young men, who give little thought to sacrificing others in order to protect Queen and country. You know... former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches. [She looks at his wrist] Rolex?

James Bond: Omega.

Vesper: Beautiful.

It is hard not to cringe when they randomly mention his watch, for this product placement couldn't have felt more forced. Still, it's a minor quibble which most will only notice on repeat viewings and therefore it's the 'best' of the worst James Bond movie moments.
