Part 5/9:
Moore’s final appearance, A View to a Kill, is recognized for its novelty, especially with Christopher Walken’s villain. Despite the critiques, it’s acknowledged that Moore’s approach missed some of the dark intensity of earlier Bonds.
The narrative humorously spotlights Sean Connery’s return in Never Say Never Again, a film notable mostly for its portrayal of Connery’s large toupee, rather than its plot or execution.
The Modern Bond: Daniel Craig’s Reign
The critique markedly improves with Daniel Craig’s debut in Casino Royale. The speaker considers this film the best Bond movie, praising its faithfulness to the source material, brutal realism, and Craig’s compelling, cold-blooded portrayal of Bond. Unlike the dated Connery classics, Casino Royale feels modern and relevant.
