I like Craig quiet a bit as Bond. He is undoubtedly a different breed than the others but he's also the only so far that I could buy into pulling off some of the athletics involved in all the Bond Movies. Moore and Connery couldn't throw a punch any better than your average businessman off the street and would probably shit their pants trying to do a pull up let alone some of those high flying gymnastics and fight scenes.
The new Bond films direction and plot seemed choppy and over complicated to me somehow that I can't put my finger on right now but besides that I really enjoyed Craig and both his films.
Why they got away from the gadgets I'll never understand.
