He's starting out well

lol, what a douche. Still can't believe this bum is the next James Bond.

He was great in Layer Cake, but I agree that he's not the Bond type. Maybe it's just that I grew up in the 90s, but I see Brosnan as the epitome of 007...even Connery (although he's an awesome actor) isn't quite as right for the role as Brosnan was.

 

[PhoenixOrion]

same here. early :thumbsdown: for casino royale

 

[waggy]

yeah there is a LOT of backlash over the choice to have him as Bond. can't blame them. he just does not fit the idea of James Bonds

 

[PhoenixOrion]

its not just the choice of actor.
early reports of not having all that many gadgets and the other facets that make a movie a "bond movie" are supposedly to a minimum
compared to brosnan or connery movies.

He fits my idea of James Bond and I'm glad he was chosen for the role. No, he's not Brosnan, but I never liked Brosnan much. Craig can (and hopefully will) bring a bit of the darker side into the movies. Brosnan never had the weight for that.

agreed. I'll admit, i'm not a huge Bond fan (especially after Connery) but the pretty boy with stupid gadgets thing is old, real old.

if the movie reviews well (3 out of 5 stars, not bad for a bond film) i'll go see it.

Roger Moore was Bond.

 

[JS80]

he looks like he'd fit more of a villian in james bond

I like Pierce Brosnan as Bond the best. I will not watch any James Bond movies until they find somebody that fits the James Bond profile. This guy's a joke.

 

[Eeezee]

I want them to cast Pierce Bronson as the next villian. That will REALLY piss off the fan boys!

 

[Kenazo]

I'm looking forward to the next one. Craig may not be the stereotype, but he'll do great.

 

[Ichigo]

I wanted whatshisface, whoever plays wolverine to be the next Bond. He'd be perfect. Hugh J---son? Something like that?

 

[AntaresVI]

It's a shame that Sean Bean already played a bad guy - he could have worked as a Bond.

Exactly!! Best Bond ever, and I still don't see what everyone liked about Sean Connery??

Why are you posting news from 3 months ago?

 

[lizardboy]

Plus many of these stories have been disputed.

''No, his teeth didn't get knocked out,'' says director Martin Campbell, taking a break from shooting a scene in which Craig, looking tanned and orthodontically undamaged, chases a bomb-toting baddie. ''What happened was that one of his caps came loose while we were filming in Prague. A local dentist came to the set, put a bit of glue on it, and that was that. The whole thing took 10 minutes.''

Hugh Jackman I believe.

Craig doesn't look like a James Bond personality. I could be wrong though. I bet it will be a fun movie no matter what.

Sean Connery was the Ultimate Bond tho!

thanks God! It took me getting to the bottom of the thread before I saw ANY love for Connery. I mean come on, he's the man now dog!

 

[K1052]

Clive Owen should have been the next bond.

:thumbsdown: to Daniel Craig.

 

[fustercluck]

It's unanimous. Daniel Craig was a bad choice. He's blond, too old, doesn't remind me at all of james bond"

I too liked him in Layer Cake, but i don't know how he got picked to be Bond. In the Casino Royale book, James Bond was 29 years old. Not that iit matters a whole lot, but i think they should of got a younger Bond. I don't have anyone in mind, but it couldn't of been too hard to find a better choice. I would of liked Clive Owen as bond a lot better.

People, Roger Moore was not Bond.

Sean Connery was Bond with Brosnan a close second.
