Craig is also the best Bond in the franchise's history.

I consider Daniel Craig to be the most effective and appealing of the six actors who have played 007, and that includes even Sean Connery.

I hope Craig finds more moments like that in Bond. And I hope he gets to wear that tuxedo again and again and again.
