I agree about Connery but I wouldn't put Brosnan as a close second. I'll go with second best but he's too much of a nancy boy to be close to Connery.

And what's with this "dark side" crap? This is Bond, not Batman.

I agree 100% with this statement.

...and while I thnk Daniel Craig will do just fine I really thought Clive Owen was the perfect choice as well.

Any change to the crapfest that is bond of the last 10-20 years is worth it, IMO. I would go so far as to say that a bond movie with muppets couldn't possibly be any worse than the absolute garbage they have been putting out in bond's name for so long.

I like the choice of daniel craig exactly because it is odd and risky. It shows me that maybe this next movie will be worth watching and not necessarily a movie catered towards 13 year old people with 50 IQ.

Clive Owen would have been a better choice. But I will still see Casino Royale

Definitely, he would have been a much better choice. But i don't like Bond movies anyways, so i'm glad he's not Bond and can do other movies.

Yeah, what rock have you been under ;) The trailer looks great, I think Craig'll do a smashing job and he looks great all beefed up for the role...and I can't wait to see Eva Green :D

You have to be effing kidding me. Connery is bond, all others are imposters! Sh!t I would take Roger Moore over Brosnan. And this current selection will kill the franchise imo.

I'm being the douche? You're the idiot who can't see the info in the very first post in the thread. I'll admit the thread title didn't mention anything about the teeth, but do you really think that info wouldn't have been posted when it happened three months ago?

So this is how you average 27 posts/day - by posting 3-month old news that has already been disputed by people involved in the production? I lived in London for a year, trust me, 99% of people Craig's age know how to drive a stick. The London tabloids are vicious, combine this with fanboys like you with nothing better to do that whip up 5000+ posts in 6 months and you've got a recipe for nonsense.

Agreed. I'm only 24 and to me Connery is the best BOND there will ever be! Brosnan looks a lil too snobbish to be the best bond, he's ok though I guess.
