Arriving With a Bang (Casino Royale)
Daniel Craig's first ever appearance as Bond was one of the most ice cold deliveries of years gone by. Calmly opening with "M does mind you making a little extra money on the side Dryden", his boss (Martin Sinclair) taunts that cannot kill him as he is not at 00 status! Bond then recounts how he has brutally dispatched an enemy agent before calmly putting a bullet between his bosses eyes without a beat pausing. In this moment, any doubts regarding his potential were extinguished and a new star was born!
Rooftop Chase Scene (Casino Royale)
The first indication of the thrill level we could expect from rebooted 007 was apparent from the very off. As we view him chasing down free running terrorist Mollako (Sebastien Foucan), the adrenalin level goes into overdrive. However, director Martin Campbell didn't just set this up for entertainment purposes, because it gives a key indicator into Bond's insubordinate and reckless behavior as his finale actions will earn him a bent ear by M (Judi Dench)
Need For Speed (Quantum of Solace)
In a movie that was an uneven affair under director Marc Forster- the opening sequence provided a remarkable injection of wake up excitement. Watching Bond driving like a man possessed with Mr White (Jesper Christiansen) lying in his trunk, you know after the ending of Casino Royale- this one is very much a personal affair!
Turkish Delight (Skyfall)
The most success of the Craig trilogy had by far the most enthralling opening. Watching Bond give chase to enemy agents by motorcycle over rooftops and then jumping onto a speeding just oozes coolness. Bond here is a man so collected that he even stops to adjust his cufflink! But what hits hardest of most is the outcome of the decision M is forced to make! This will set off an unlikely chain reaction which will see Bond have to regain his former self!
