Daniel Craig’s best James Bond film takes over Prime Video

after Include James Bond Franchise, Amazon Its Prime Video service became the official streaming home for EON films. Now, the best Bond film of all time has crept onto Prime Video’s most-watched list, though it’s also been overtaken by one of the property’s most disappointing films. 2006’s “Casino Royale” is currently the 10th most-watched film in the US on Prime Video, which frankly isn’t high enough considering that Daniel Craig’s debut is easily the best Bond film to date. What makes matters worse in this regard is the fact that the year 2021 “No Time to Die,” which divided audiences with its shocking ending (where 007 dies for the first time), ranks third.

At first, Jeff Bezos acquiring the 007 franchise seemed like the equivalent of Specter finally defeating England’s greatest spy. then, Amazon did the unexpected by hiring the perfect director for “Bond 26” In Denis Villeneuve. The “Dune” director will helm the upcoming film and is said to be looking for a new rookie to play 007. All of this bodes well for the film, which is currently being written by “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight.

Another benefit of Amazon owning this landmark property is that all the Bond films are now in one place on Prime Video (although that’s a weak win, as Streaming services can delete digital media when they wish). Of course, the two non-EON Bond films, 1967’s “Casino Royale” and 1983’s “Never Say Never Again,” are not available, but that won’t matter to most fans, especially since the official “Casino Royale” is considered the greatest Bond film ever made.

At one point, every James Bond movie was on Prime Video, but they disappeared and ended up scattered across the streaming world. However, on October 1, 2025, Amazon added all 25 films to its Prime Video servers in a compassionate move that was quickly undermined by A strange promotional decision by the company to remove weapons from all Bond artwork (Before quickly reversing that decision after fan criticism.)

Meanwhile, the best of the bunch managed to rise to the top, with Prime Video viewers pushing “Casino Royale” to No. 10 in the US as of October 6, 2025. Flex Patrol (a site that collects streaming viewing data), Daniel Craig’s first outing in a tux is also being shown in 28 countries around the world, where he managed to reach his highest point in Denmark on October 2, 2025, when he moved into second place. Meanwhile, in his native UK, Bond has managed to reach number three as of October 3, 2025, although every 007 fan knows this film should be number one.

“Casino Royale” came on the heels of both “The Bourne Identity” and “Batman Begins,” taking its cues from those radical reinventions of action heroes to deliver an unforgettable Bond outing that simultaneously reinvented the character while feeling closer to Ian Fleming’s original vision than any other film in the series. This magic trick was also embodied by Craig himself, who seemed to embody the energy of the “straightforward tool” described in the pages of Fleming’s books, along with the sarcastic humor created by Sean Connery and The unsung hero of Bond on screen, Terence Young. Add to that Eva Green’s endlessly engaging Vesper Lynd and Craig’s undeniable chemistry, and you have the best Bond film ever. Unfortunately, the lowest entry in the 007 canon somehow tops “Casino Royale” on Prime Video.

While “Casino Royale” maintains its precarious position at the bottom of the list of most-watched films in the United States, 2021’s “No Time to Die” has risen to third place in the United States. The film marked the end of Daniel Craig’s tenure and divided fans with its final scene, in which Bond is buried under rocket fire. Craig’s saga, which began as an ill-fated attempt at Ian Fleming’s spy, ended in a sumptuous and disgustingly disturbing fashion, with Craig’s 007 staring up at the deadly sky, resigned to his fate as the projectiles fell. If you’re going to kill off Bond, you’d better make sure the movie centered around that moment is the greatest thing ever to grace the franchise. Unfortunately, No Time to Die was muddled at best.

However, in a way, it’s much better than the much better “Casino Royale” on Prime Video. according to Flex PatrolBond 25 is shown in 38 countries and has reached number two in seven of them. In the United States, it has risen from fifth place as of October 4, 2025, to third place, where it sits at the time of writing. Will Craig Bond’s swan song hit number one in the coming days? Perhaps, and while it may be a bit disappointing for 007 fans who know what’s going on, there is a small positive.

The ending of “No Time to Die” took on a dark new meaning Once Amazon acquired the intellectual property from longtime trustees Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. The legendary producers may have sent Bond to his grave knowing that some tech villain could get their hands on the property, in which case blowing up 007 was at least a somewhat logical step to take. Now, with “No Time to Die” hitting the Prime Video charts, fans around the world will be able to watch Broccoli and Wilson’s latest challenge on the very platform they may have been trying to sabotage. At least, that’s the vaguely positive way to view the terrible situation on Prime Video’s charts.
