But how does it hold up after 22 years? Is it still one of the greatest sci-fi stories every told? But is it good??

James Bond is back! As we get ready for the long awaited release of "No Time To Die," we look back to where it all started for Daniel Craig's run as James Bond. 2006's "Casino Royale" marked a new direction for the legendary spy; less gadgets, less camp, more grounded action, higher stakes, and a more grounded approach. Boasting an all new cast, with the exception of Judi Dench's "M", "Casino Royale" brings Mr. Bond back to his espionage roots, with a more realistic approach to the mythos. However, Craig is just the latest in a long line of Bonds...how does he stack up? But is "Casino Royale" good??
