After all, no woman can resist James Bond. Plus, she validates what a stud Bond is - maybe she initially rebuffed him, but she’ll see the light soon enough. The Bond girl is like his trophy for doing such a good job. Usually, the superspy meets her early on in the film, they flirt, lots of action scenes happen and, eventually, he saves the day and takes her to bed. One of the key components of the franchise has been the “Bond girl,” the bewitching beauty that’s a love interest and sidekick all rolled into one.

In the run-up to the release of No Time to Die, the final James Bond film to star Daniel Craig, a familiar debate started up again: What was Craig’s best movie as 007? More specifically, which do you prefer: Casino Royale or Skyfall ? Both are very good, but there’s no question which is superior.
