4. Skyfall: Didn't really care too much for this one mostly because I found the villain to be too depressing and over the top with creepiness.
3. Casino Royale: Not a bad film, but a little slow at times because there was way too much emphasis on the Poker tournament. Dialog was good, though, and I liked the chemistry between Bond and the leading lady.
2. Spectre: Good film. Good pacing, compelling story, nice cinematography, cool car chases, etc. This is what a Bond film should always be at the very least.
1. Quantum of Solace: My favorite. Great pacing, believable villain, cool car chases, good emotional components to story, and I really liked the relationship between Bond and the leading lady. I like this one a little more than Spectre because I found that the scene in Spectre where Bond gets his head drilled into was a little too much for me and I found the film was trying too hard, where as Q of S didn't have a scene that tried to be so overtly edgy to the point that it made me cringe.
1. Casino Royale - Really well done debut for Craig. We see him become the superspy gradually over the course of 2 hours, and the result is one of my favorite Bond films of all time, period. Craig is my favorite Bond thanks to this movie.
2. SkyFall - long and depressing, but extremely well crafted film. A great send off for Judi Dench and a wonderfully creepy performance by Javier Bardem. May be overrated but still a solid entry.
3. Quantum of Solace - this one is a good entry that unfairly gets a lot of hate just because it isn't Skyfall or CR. I put it a few notches below Skyfall due to the terrible editing and half-baked script, but I enjoy it just as much as any other Bond film.
4. Spectre- Sorry, but the whole "evil brother" plotline just killed it for me. The head-drilling scene was just too unbelievable, and the action scenes seem strangely lifeless. Craig has some good moments but the movie is all over the place and isn't sure if it wants to be a dramatic CraigBond or a silly over the top Roger Moore film.
I do hope Craig comes back for one more. Without Sam Mendes as director, though.
The first one was the only watchable one.
Part 2 story line was especially dumb as frack.
Part 3 was forgettable. I can't even remember what that movie was about.
Part 4, I'm not wasting my time since 2 & 3 were garbage.

Interesting -- I didn't realize QS received a lot of hate. I'd think a lot of people would at least like it more than a lot of others, such as the one where Bond battles the journalist with a stealth ship or has to disable the giant radio telescope because apparently you need a 500 meter dish to talk to a satellite.

I frequent a few James Bond discussion forums. There you will find plenty of people who dislike QOS for one reason or another. Because it was a sequel, because it isn't overloaded with groaner puns and d*** jokes like all the Moore/Brosnan films, because the henchman was weak, blah blah blah. Whatever, I liked it quite a bit.
Good observation on the oversized satellite dish in GE.

If 'unbelievable' to any degree is a disqualifier, then every Bond film is disqualified a dozen times over.

Yes, but Craig's Bond films have set the bar higher and have avoided (most of) the silly over the top elements that made films like Moonraker and Die Another Day so stupid. Until SPECTRE, that is.
