Eh, I never much liked Connery as Bond. I was the one guy the really, really liked George Lazenby. He was always my favorite. Then Craig's version of Casino Royale came out. Wow. I was let down by Quantum of Solace.

Craig is so badass in this role. Loved both Casino Royale and QoS and will look forward to this one as well.

I've been waiting for this for the longest time! I also love Craig as Bond. James Bond in general is such a badass. One of my fave fictional characters of all time.

Here's why I don't care for Craig as Bond:
They should never have a Bond girl tower over Bond. With Craig that would be a tall order (pardon the pun). The girl in red looks like she can kick the living shit out of him, badass or not. http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/the-pr...132244752.html James Bond Press Conference Confirms ‘Skyfall’ Is Finally Coming, With a New Bond Girl This morning in London, Sony Pictures had a big press conference about the next James Bond movie, the one that has been rumored and delayed and speculated about for months upon years. Sitting up there on stage were Daniel Craig, and Judi Dench, and director Sam Mendes and even Javier Bardem, who is gonna play the bad guy. It really happened. The movie is totally coming now. They had a press conference: They can't back out at this point. The more prurient of you are probably wondering: "So, who's the hot Bond girl?" Well, you Y-chromosome-driven Beavis: It's Bérénice Marlohe, a French model who has, in fact, never appeared in an English-speaking movie before. (She has barely been in any French-speaking ones.) She will play "a glamorous, enigmatic character named Severin." That's to say: A Bond girl. If you want to know a bit more about what she looks like -- and we suspect you do -- JoBlo.com has the definitive photo gallery. |

That's because you just assumed her heals are 6 inches. Look at the pic below. I lined up the bottom of Craig's foot with hers excluding the high heal. You decide.
Look, Craig is a good actor, but he is too short and blonde to be Bond. Plus that haircut reveals a bit of a pointy head unbecoming 007. |

Connery was the best.
Craig brought a new level of toughness to the character. Brosnan should have had the role back in the 80's but I guess TV screwed that up. Dalton was good but for some reason just never rang true in the character. Moore played it way too cheesy. I need to go back and see the one film with Lazenby because I don't remember him at all.

Also in defense of Brosnan, he did keep complaining about the progressively cheesier direction the producers were taking the Bond flicks and wanted to play an edgier Bond. EON, ironically pretty much fired him and started making edgy Bond movies. I think that was their slap in his face for his bitching. My only problem with Brosnan was his distractingly high voice. He had the least manly voice among all of the actors who have played Bond. Lastly, Lazenby was good but he was in the unfortunate position to follow the legend. |

Craig is badass.
Sounds like they found a good bad guy. Not sure if QoS even had a villain. |

I think Madsen would be more awesome as a Bond Villian.
