I just viewed "Quantum" and am frankly amazed at any negative critique. Craig is Bond in this! I am so relieved to finally be interested in the man, and not just a pretty package. He has set aside all of the superficiality of past Bonds. There was so much art in this film that I almost yelled WOW! The whole world is in so much turmoil now. We need a strong man who will always do his duty. I almost had a heart attack on that plane with them. I came out of the theater determined to never give up doing the right thing for the right reason. I cannot wait for the next Bond film.

WOW! I was devastated to rent Casino Royal and not catch it in the movies bceause I was hooked from the first moment - when I couldnt breath watching the chase scene with the free-runner. OMG. I hae always loved Bond - but Craig creates a 3-D character of cruelty, humanity, anguish and love. This is the most in-depth Bond character ever - and I must say I am addicted to his looks, voice and actions. He brings a true hand-to-hand combat to Bond that is so personal and up-close. I was tiring of the special-effects Bond of previous ones. this is the heart and guts. I am dying for more Danie Craig! I rented it each day OnDemand for 5 days before my husband finally bought it for me.

I loved the latest Bond movie. I was never a true Bond movie fan until now. I've seen bits and pieces of past Bond movies but this one i can't get enough of. It's become part of my DVD collection and i watch it all the time. Daniel is absolutely great. I have alot of his earlier movies as well. He plays so many different characters. He has real talent. I can't wait to see his next one. Love ya Daniel, always.

Great to see a website in support of DC. I know everyone has their views .........but!! I have been on the forums at DCnB, and have made my point very clear as to what i thought of their personal attacks on DC and the Bond franchise..............but was totally taken aback by the half dozen or so hardcore nutters there who have no remorse for their prior actions, they claim they have toned things down.......but not really, and think that the rest of the world is deluded for liking CR. These people who hide behind the internet, dont mind name calling the film stars and film makers.............. so i was quite amazed when they got upset when i called them RETARDS. Perhaps its a case of 'dont dish it out if you cant take it'. Anyway.......am looking forward to Bond 22......it should be a cracker. Regards: EA

Let them moan!!!! ... by boycotting Casino Royale they are missing the best Bond movie ever... not only great REAL action, great personality, overall GREAT PERFORMANCE by Daniel Craig! I've never really truly enjoyed 007 movies for misogenistic reasons, but I must say that Casino Royale has entered my list of best movies ever, along with The Lord of the Ring trilogy, The Lord of War and others.... Daniel Graig, thank you !!!

I only want to excuse me for a comment that i have written (in that forum i think) about one year ago. I said Madonna has been in the Bond movie "Die another day" only because of PR. That was wrong from me and nonsense from me. Sorry to Madonna. And to Daniel: Good Bond. It could be that i wrote more nonsense that i remember no more exactly. Sorry also for that.

After reading utter nonsense regarding Daniel as not being good enough to be James Bond on some other sites, I felt compelled to leave a message. I find it incredulous that people formed such a strong opinion on Daniel before he'd even set foot on the film set?! And their reason - his hair colour and because he "looked different" from the other Bonds, apparently... Well, I have got to say GO DANIEL! - you totally and utterly rocked in Casino Royale. I loved it. (they must be feeling more than a tad silly at how well received the film and Daniel were, don't you think?) Victory must taste so sweet! I say lap it up, you deserve it. I feel Daniel played the part with great acting ability and gave 007 much more depth and realism. It was quite refreshingly different and in my opinion, actually reflected much more of how Bond was actually meant to be portrayed. I'm really looking forward to Daniel's next outing as 007.

I'm speachless ;) I'm a big bond buff from germany. I love all the bondfilms, especially the connery and brosnan films. but casino royale is the ultimate reboot of the series. I became fascinated one again, by the most iconic film charakter of all times... long live james bond. bondian greetings from germany!

While I've always been a Bond fan in general, like most fans I have my own ranking for the actors who have portrayed this character. Until now, this order was (best to least inspiring) Connery, Dalton, and Moore, with Brosnan and Lazenby in a tie at the tail end. Now, I'd place Craig in the number two spot... and he certainly has the chance to be the best Bond -- it really depends on the next couple of 007 films to see if he will be able to take over that vaunted mantle. This will indeed be the case if succeeding films are of a similar caliber to Casino Royale... for pure entertainment value, it was the best "movie" of 2006. And a lot of that credit has to go to Craig.

As I found there were some wierd sites dedicated to rubbishing Daniel Craig and Casino Royale, I felt, as a long term Bond fan ( since the 60s...OUCH) I had to offfer a more posotive opinion. This new reborn Bond is tougher and grittier than any Bond seen before. Nice one Daniel Craig ! And I would say vastly closer to the character in Fleming's books.Casino Royale is a raw journey through a Bond world much closer to reality than we are used to. Excellent. It was a brave decision by Eon to wipe the slate clean and begin anew. Can't wait for 22......Make a few more Craig at least. In the next film, M should Let Bond loose on a baddie...The Name's Rottweiler....Daniel Rottwieler.

i have to say that i think that daniel craig is exactly what the franchise needed. i was ready to walk out of the cinema in the last film, die another day. yes its moderatly entertaining but lets face it, it was crap. when i heard that all the gadgets had gone, the same as the cheesy moments and what we were receiving was a darker, harsher more gritty bond i was thrilled. i never saw a problem with the colour of anyone's hair, let alone the colour of an actors! in my own humble opinion, casino royale is THE best bond film ever, and craig was more bond than any other actor preceeding him. even connery. I was blown away by casino royale, by the whole package and im looking forward to the next. Adios

Like everyone else i was dubious about the choice of DC for Bond but prepared to reserve judgement till i actually saw the film. Just seen it on DVD. Wow. All i can say is that Daniel is Bond. What better compliment could anyone give. It's what i've been yearning for for years. Lets get a bit of realism back into it. For me the film is more notable for the things it leaves out. Gone is the ridiculous comedy (especially from the Moore era.) Gone are the silly one liners. Gone are the over the top gadgets (invisible car ! ! ! say what ?) How come Bond always had the perfect gadget for any given situation no matter how outlandish ? Gone is the appalling John Cleese Q character. Even before Cleese took over the whole Q thing was played for comedy. A guy with a pot on his arm which suddenly turns into a flame thrower..... p-lease. Not clever - or funny for that matter. Gone are the ridiculous endless succession of girls dying to jump into bed with Bond. Two were enough for Daniel, and quite right too. Gone is the insufferable know-all. Gone is the idea that you can take a tremendous beating and then simply give your hair a flick, straighten your tie and you are as good as new and totally unruffled. When Daniel's Bond has been in a fight he certainly looks like it. Who would have thought that a chase (on foot) could be one of the most exciting set pieces ever, in any Bond. Best line in the film ? Bond is asked if he wants his martini shaken not stirred and replies "do i look like i give a damn ?". Is this a dig at yet another ridiculous element from yesteryear. You would think from reading this that i hate Bond as it used to be. Not really. I'm a huge Bond fan and i thought Percy Bronsan was the best since Seen Canary, but the series was well overdue for a makeover. We want to see Bond back where he belongs - at the top. Long may Daniel Craig reign.

Happy Birthday Daniel ! You're fantastic, such a hunk and a great person, too. I can't wait to see you again in the next James Bond film. I'm spending much of my time watching pics of you on websites and I'll been taking a close look at your career. Wish you all the Best for the future.

I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday. I hope the producers of James Bond are working on casting in your next Bond movie. Best of Luck Dan

I believe Daniel Craig did a wonderful job playing James Bond. He is a great actor and pretty hot in those shorts!!!

Associated Press 1.31.07 Deanna Brayton, the woman behind Danielcraigisnotbond.com, has finally thrown in the towel. After months of posting false comments about the success of the Casino Royale film and of Daniels acting ability (and sexual orientation) she has conceded defeat and shut down her site after Casino Royale became the most successful Bond ever. The film, which saw Daniel Craig make his debut as 007, surpassed the former record of $431m (£220m) set by Die Another Day in 2002.

At last. Bond is dead. Long live Bond. Old (and worn out) cliches and rituals are thrown overboard with a twinkle in the eye. The Aston Martin is driven by a baddy. Bond doesn't give a toss whether the Martini is shaken or stirred - he even has it mixed with fancy ingredients. His XL ego is overtly critised. And the gadgets are realistic - with just a slight emphasis on Sony Ericsson mobiles. Most amazing of all: he falls in love! He even quits his job for a woman! He is emotional, romantic, poetic, sexy, intelligent and: I adore him!

Knover.com is running a poll to determine which actor is the best Bond of the James Bond series. If you want your voice to be heard, go to www.knover.com, search for Daniel Craig, and you will see the poll in the lower left hand corner. Good luck!

Despite my early reservations about the new Bond, I am now more than happy to report that on this occasion it was a complete and utter pleasure to be proved very, very wrong indeed! This man is a genius - not only can he really act, he has brought a depth and sensitivity to Bond that I only realised was lacking once I'd seen our Mr.Craig on screen - it's also very helpful that he is actually sexy beyond the bounds of reason and decency - thank heaven for Daniel Craig and long may he rule as James Bond!

I LOVE this MAN! HE is sexy as hell AND HE CAN ACT! YAYAYAYATYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! This guy needs an oscar for achieving something that no bond has ever done. Well done. And as he said in Layer Cake " I f-king hate guns but this one is really pretty!"

Before that the movie came to the cinemas, the journalists treated Daniel Craig as a "young man" , immature and incapable of being James Bond.....before the movie the medias scrutinize closely, each step that Craig took....they were gloating... before the movie came to the cinemas....and now, guys, take a GOOD look to the facts.....In the future, stop being ridiculous...or just change your job. Finally, to you, Daniel, you surely deserve the title of the "James Bond" character. Great job and I hope we'll see you soon again. Thanks
