First, I want to get out of the way that I thought Pierce Brosnan was and is and fantastic Bond and the reason his films were becoming lackluster was not at all in part of his great performances. It was the overabundance of CGI and loose-knit storylines. I think if he stayed Bond, the only way they could've rejuvinated the series was by bringing all the Bonds back for one movie to explain that James Bond was not a real name but an identity issued to 00's to protect their famiilies... reason to bring them all back... well, we live in a time or terrorism, why not resurect the biggest terrorist organization of all time... SPECTRE... and needing previous Bonds who fought SPECTRE return to assist in their knowledge of how SPECTRE operated. However, after watching Casino Royale, I think Sony and EON opting to reboot the franchise with a dynamic and amazing character actor in Daniel Craig was alot smarter. He was f*cking fantastic in the role and the people boycotting this movie because of his hair color are missing out on what may be the best movie out of the entire series... but obviously I can't say that because it's a reboot and in essence the start of an entirely new franchise. I will not compare Sean Connery and Daniel Craig because they are two completely different Bonds and both great actors. Daniel Craig owns the remade version of Bond and I'm looking forward to his next outing.

Daniel Craig IS James Bond!! I went into the movie, not to sure if I would like this new bond. But I am happily surprised to say, I REALLY, REALLY like it. I really felt like the Bond series is back on the right tract. Finally, they have a James Bond who is believable. Unlike like the other Bonds, who were like English earls, the new bond is human, and not scared to fight like a man!! He makes mistakes, and still wins in the end. Daniel Craig really made the character his, and didnt just try to mimic Connery or Morroe. Because of that the movie had a n originality that was unseen with the Broson movies(sorry Peirce) The only flaw I felt was that they didn't develop the other characters enough. I would have like to know more about the villian, but still, I was really satisified with the story. Not to mention Daniel Craig is built like a greek-god!! With all these things going for it I think the new Bond should be a great success!! Daniel Craig, is the New Bond!! People Connery is an OLD MAN, let it go and end embrace change!! Daniel Craig, you are the BOND of the future!!!

I just don't understand how so many people could've insulted Craig's performance WITHOUT EVEN FREAKIN' SEEING IT. I just saw Casino today. Great movie. Craig is fantastic. He was just as suave and cool as Bond should be, but still portrayed the slightly vulnerable and inexperienced side of a new 00 agent. I mean, Pierce was okay, but he's sorta' scawny next to Craig who looks like he isn't afraid to get down and dirty in a fistfight. I think it's just easier for the general audience to accept a brunette actor as Bond because that's what they're used to. Craig was at a disadvantage from the beginning and had to work ten times as hard to get people to take him seriously. It sucks when people are stupid. I don't care if they don't see the movie. Their loss. They're probably too dim-witted to even understand the plot or find the theater.

I wonder if those pricks at Danielcraigisnotbond.com are now eating their worthless, empty and ultimately pointless words. I hope they choke on em. Craig is the best thing about the film, for once we have a Bond who is believable. His physique makes him look like he could actually take a few knocks an keep coming. He's got the ruthless aggression down (Bond was ALWAYS meant to be a bastard), he feels emotion and he gets hurt, and rather badly at points. He has an intensity in his eyes not seen since the glory days of Connery. I just hope they keep this standad up, one of the best Bond films ever.

i just saw the movie today, and i think it's the best bond movie ever and not to mention that Craig is now my favorite Bond too! The movie shows the more humane side of Bond, that he can also make mistake just like everyone else, and he doesn't have to always look good, like in a fight, etc (unlike the rest of Bond movies). And the action is a lot more make sense now then they used to be in typical Bond movies. I never really like any Bond movies until now, this movie is definitely worth a watch!

I have not made a contribution since March...been real busy. I got to see Casino today, and all I have to say is WOW. Daniel Craig is the first new actor to play Bond that I was already familiar with so I was was looking forward to seeing him almost as much as I was looking forward to the new Bond movie. I have to say that he saved the reboot better than anyone else could have. The frachise itself did not need saving. I would have gone to the movie, bought the game and hung the poster if Brosnan, or anyone else picked up where Bond has always left us off in the past. The fact is that Eon Productions decided to update and start over. That got me , a true Bond, fan a little bit worried, until I saw more than just trailers and sneek peeks. Daniel Craig is Bond now and I hope that everyone else will welcome his presence as I do. Congradulations Daniel, you have successfuly saved the reboot and brought James Bond's character into the 21st century. I can't wait until Nov. 7, 2008 to see what you do next.

Just watched Casino Royale tonight, and it was not bad at all, but very different from the other bond films. Craig was actually in some ways better than what i thought he would be.

WOW!! Best Bond film ever! It was super! 5 stars!

I just got back from seeing the movie as well...not bad! I think it was missing a few things, but for the most part, it was definitely Bond. Daniel Craig will make a fine Bond in future movies.

Look, let me explain something as a person who is not a die-hard fan of James Bond, or ever was. On top of that, let me explain why i am here. I was on MSN one day, as millions across the world are on a daily basis, and on Windows Live Today, i saw a photo of Casino Royale and thought, 'oh o.k, this must be the new James Bond movie i heard about'. Now, cutting it short with my boring story, i ended up clicking on the photo, which then turned out to be a article about how much people hated Daniel Craig, and the movie wasn't even out yet. In that article, it mentioned a site called 'danielcraigisnotbond'.com. What i write next might piss a lot of people off, a lot, so just calm down and read on. Remember how i said i am not a die-hard fan, well i said it for a reason. Anyway, I'm on this site(danielcraigisnotbond), and i see things i never thought possible. I mean, i was literally puzzled somebody can waste their fuking own life on making that site. The more i read on, the more i was shocked in what the FUK these people were on about. Seriously, what the fuk is wrong with these fuking people? These people were talking about how UGLY the guy was, and how terrible he was as an actor, and how he didn't suit the fuking film. Well, you see, these stupid motherfuking ass licking faggots might of forgotten that Daniel Craig himself is an actor, more than any of them have ever achieved in their fuking lives. Filling up a site with all the NEGATIVE crap they find about the movie, and trying to desperately persuade you to think how bad this 'guy' is. I said guy because they were bagging this guy before the movie was out, so they couldn't of hated the movie. if you saw any of them, they would be skinny motherfuking ugly computer geeks that have nothing better to do all day than make a site over a fuking 'MOVIE' like their life depends on it. Who the FUK are they to call him ugly him the first place?(I'm talking so much about them calling him ugly not because i am gay, but because more than half of the site if filled with comments on his looks) Firstly, they are ALL probably guys, making them and the site filled with homosexual dead pig fukers. I mean you gotta understand, a normal human being firstly shouldn't be considered normal after looking at what is only a movie like it's their fuking life. That goes for people here on THIS site as well. These people are obviously fuking losers, with no girlfriends, no friends, no lives. They must be, its only logical. If somebody is so worked up about a movie, you gotta think if these people have anything else in their OWN fuking lives to worry about. I'll tell you why they are sooooooo PISSSED OFFF. it's because these fuking baboon ass fuking morons while watching the movie not only watch the movie, but imagine themselves as the one with the cars, girls and guns. Am i wrong? NOOPE. Evidence: 1) Since these people have so much time in their hands, they are fuking losers, making a James Bond film like an escape from reality. If they had the girls, or "A" GIRL for FUKS SAKE, the cars(No not a car on a computer screen), you think they would be so worried about a movie? 2) There UGLY. By calling somebody ugly, i won't do what they do. When i mean ugly, i mean not attractive enough physically or personality wise to make friends or have a relationship. Someone who sits down on a computer all day is probably FAT or SKKINY. Fat because they are sitting all day, and skinny because there sitting on a computer that is too far from a fridge, and since they are too busy making a worthless absolutely pathetic site, they forget to eat. HEY! It's still a good theory. I mean there must be a reason most computer geeks are skinny or fat. Anyway, probably have glasses for obvious reasons which i wont even bother writing because you should be smart enough to understand WHY. 3) IF there are girls on that site, this a message for you. GO PUT SOME FUKING MAKEUP ON, AND GO GET A ROOT. (A wasted message since their probably isn't any, but non the less). ALMOST DONE, If you've read this far. You might call me a hypocrite. I'm on this site, what you might call getting worked up over a movie. Well, thats your choice whether you think that or not. James Bond movies you gotta admit, is a load of crap. Absolutely unbelievable, stupid, unrealistic and most importantly, fuking SHIIT. But watching Casino Royale, they finally got over all that bull shit and actually tried. That is the main reason here. I loved the movie. The last James Bond movie, i forgot what its called that fuking crap with the giant satellite laser fuking crap. Seriously, like honestly, WHAT THE FUK was that? This fact makes me wonder how the fuk somebody is mentally ill enough to get worked up over such a shit movie. But thats another story. The only thing that matters is simple. Casino Royale is a good movie, and has Daniel Craig in it. A site dedicated on hating Daniel Crag which is in Casino Royale which is a good movie makes me unhappy which then, persuaded by hate for these people, am wasting my own life looking on a computer screen writing this crap which wont change anything. Take care.

I just got back from the San Francisco showing. (First day, first show). This movie is great! It far exceeded my expectations and I was a bit sad to see the movie end. Its like finding an old friend and not wanting to let them go. Daniel Craig is amazing as James Bond. Is better than the rest? Too early to tell, but he's certainly impressed me so far. I think all the haters out there who think he was the worst decision, should go right now, find a crow and eat it. Craig brings humanity, ferocity and humor to a role that was dying its last breath. Its not the Bourne films and that's a good thing because Bond should always be the trendsetter. I can't wait now for another two/three years for the next one. Congratulations Mr. Daniel Craig. You've earned a drink and a pat on the back from me.

When you see a movie that has an invisible Aston Martin you don't tend to be engulfed in to that movie. That won't happen with this movie. In a similar (yet different) way that the Bourne movies allowed you to believe that the things happening on the screen could actually happen, this Bond film really brings a sense of realisim that most other Bond films just missed. To put is simply, aside from George Lazemby's Bond film, all others where actually SiFi films. Not anymore. Move over Bourne and Jack Ryan, America has a new Hero!

i have never been a fan of bond before, but seeing casino royale last night has changed my opinion forever. daniel craig is a fantastic actor and suits this role superbly. the film was fresh with real stunts in which daniel craig got hurt, and no one who has seen that film can honestly say they knew what was going to happen or how it was going to end. i thouroghly enjoyed it and will def be seeing the next two he has already signed.to all the boycotters out there get a life. you will eat your words as a whole new generation of bond evolves.

Went to an advanced screening at the Manns Chinese in Los Angeles last night and the movie rocked! Definitely the best Bond film in years, if not decades. (My friend thought it might be the best ever because even the great Sean Connery films couldn't compete with the exciting stuntwork of this one.) The first several minutes of the film clearer establishes that Craig is an excellent choice for Bond. Lethal, brutal, not a pretty boy but has a sexual charisma nonetheless. Finally a Bond with some testosterone! The movie is a bit too long but that's a minor complaint, and has nothing to do with Craig's masterful performance. He is James Bond and a naysayer (after seeing the film) would have to be in complete denial to suggest otherwise.

He will bring so much more to the character than any single other actor has. I mean after seeing Enduring Love, Layer Cake and Munich I was completely sold on the idea that he was going to play 007. And why do I think this? Well first of all he can actually act! And, to quote M, he will bring much more to the role than just being an "overdeveloped trigger finger." Go Daniel Craig! You can count on me to see Casino Royale! :-D

All I can say is YUM.. Daniel is incredibly hot and sexy. That little blue speedo shot is quite... shall I say, impressive! All drooling on my part aside, Daniel is a great actor, all the work I've seen him in he has seriously rocked. For you weenies who think he's not good looking enough (I mean pah-lease, his ears are too big?.. spare me!) I can only say, more for the rest of us. In a world where Cruise and Pitt are considered the "hottest," I'd take Daniel any day, and, I hope, repeatedly on Sunday. Well I'm drooling again, but my buns will be in the seat for the new Bond, in the meantime I'll be wearing out my Layer Cake dvd. If you're ever in Tucson, AZ Daniel, I'll buy first pint. xoxo!

May they eat their words, all those pathetic "craig not bond"-people! Daniel Craig is a terrific and very very powerful actor. The first time I saw him was in the BBC-Production "The Ice House". It was stunning! After that I was addicted and I've seen Craig in EVERY part he EVER played and I knew he would be equally overwhelming as a new Bond. Craig is one of the finest actors of his generation. I love his charismatic acting and I admire him!

I think that Mr.Craig has enough edge to pull off what will be the first Bond flick that I will look forward to in years. Brosnan was cool, but all his contributions seemed like copies of each other. Casino Royal's new look is well executed, high impact action mixed with convincing emotion. Mr. Craig definetly looks the part of someone who could kill with just a look. Don't people realize that to boycot the Bond legacy will only destroy it.

Daniel Craig IS James Bond. Such an exciting and talented actor who has been given his chance to show us all what he was born to do, in playing 007. I love his attitude to fans, and to the passion of creating a decent and powerful James Bond film, and watching him in the trailers and TV spots, I am too hyped to mention, far more than I was for the usual Brosnan outings. All I can say is that Daneil, we love you and admire you and we can't wait for the next Bond film with you back in the tuxedo where you belong with ice cold killer eyes, suave machoism and the rugged and exciting attitude that makes you OUR James Bond!

Daniel Craig is great actor and I'm sure he'll manage as James Bond. I don't know why everybody hates him before they get to see him as Bond. I personaly am looking forward to see it because it's a great story. And besides, he's sooooooooooooo sexy! And has perfect voice and hands!

I've been impressed by Daniel Craig's abilities in other movies and I'm sure he'll make a great Bond. Seems like some of the younger folks don't realize Connery is almost 77 years old and the Bond movies started over 40 years ago. Go get 'em Daniel and don't worry if some unemployed folks who still live in their parent's basement boycott your film. They were hoping for Shatner to play Bond (which might be interesting). Have another Martini and don't sweat it. It's only a movie after all...

Daniel Craig is absolutely Mr. James Bond 007. Please watch the new music video of Chris Cornell "You know my name"! Casino Royale and Daniel Craig will reach a big success.
