5 Reasons Why Skyfall Might Be The Best James Bond Film Ever

3. Third Time Lucky For Daniel Craig With Skyfall marking Daniel Craig€™s third time in the lead role, the history of the series suggests this might be his finest instalment. When Sean Connery and Roger Moore were both starting out in the role it took them both three films to fully settle into the part and make it their own. Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me are both considered to be among the best of the series and it is no coincidence that these are both the third films for each actor. Craig was thrust into the role in 2005 and was barely given a chance to put on the iconic tuxedo before the internet erupted with anti-Daniel Craig websites such as craignotbond.com and bondnotblonde.com but when he made his debut in Casino Royale he managed to prove all the haters wrong by being one of the best James Bonds of the series and essentially bringing the character back from the brink after the Pierce Brosnan misfire Die Another Day. Craig reportedly re-read all the Ian Fleming novels to immerse himself in the character and the re-launch of Bond in Casino Royale marked a change in tone and style more in keeping with Fleming€™s original source. Taking inspiration from the first novel of the series produced the most faithful interpretation of the British secret agent to date and made the character relevant once again to modern audiences. Following that success with Quantum Of Solace proved to be a huge success further developing Craig's take on the character and with both films generating a combined total of over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, Craig was able to secure his role despite financial troubles at MGM. Craig has already proven that he and Sam Mendes can deliver the goods with Road To Perdition which bodes well for Craig€™s third Bond film. The four year break since Quantum Of Solace and the desire to make Skyfall a befitting tribute to mark the 50th Anniversary should also ensure that this is Craig€™s best Bond so far.
