After seeing a lot of behind the scenes stuff from Casino Royale, I'm really hyped up and am 110% sure that Craig will be the best Bond yet! It's brilliant that he's going back to the Fleming aspect of Bond. Of course, I've supported Craig since he was announced as James Bond. Craig kicks butt! And for those pathetic people who can't face the fact that Craig is James Bond, as Craig himself said "screw 'em"

Daniel Craig will return to the classic Bond performed by Sean Connery in the 60s. That will take a turn from the material an special-effect-overkill of the last bond-flic to a cool and atmospheric Bondmovie that can be called face to face to From Russia with Love!

I think Daniel Craig could be a good choice if he plays the role authentical and achieves his potential. I must say he has an interesting face that can play the facettes of Bond in a very good and exciting way- OK, he is not this typical model, but stuff it! What counts is style, coolness, good humour, charisma and brutality at the right time and this all can be Daniel Craig as Bond if he wants and i think he wants! Besides, the last Bond film was not one of the best films in the series: too much (extreme) action, the end was horrible, the beginning good, but all in all "overloaded". Where on earth were fists and a little bit reasonable action scenes? And why Madonna in this sort of film? -Only PR? Pity. My opinion: Pierce was good, Daniel can be as good as him or maybe better if he and the story wants. Let us surprise! New Bond, New Film, New Image- New Chance!- and Bond (hopefully)back to the roots with a highly visible touch of the 21st century. Good luck, Daniel. You can do it.

Being a fan who fell in love with Fleming's original novels, I've waited for the day when the Bond franchise would return to the cold, driven, troubled spy I read about. I gave up hope with "Die Another Day" that it ever would and now comes Daniel Craig. I can't wait to see what Craig can do and I trust Martin Campbell when he says that Craig is the best ever. "Casino Royale" should be a real ride!

Tanta polémica respecto a Daniel Craig está siendo una publicidad gratuita excelente para la nueva película de Bond. Millones de espectadores querrán comprobar por si mismos las maravillas ( o supuestas desgracias) del nuevo Bond. Físicamente creo que Craig tiene mucho morbo, es atractivo con un toque de dureza que lo hace irresistible.Me encantaria ser su chica Bond!

To come anywhere near the level of hysterical abuse being heaped on Our Danny Boy, The ODB, you'd have to go back to the day Bob Dylan went electric. The signs so far are just as clear: this film wil also be a welcome, needed kick in the keister of the old and fat Business of Bond. We now have a brilliant director, an Oscar screenplay, a ferocious team commitment to getting this one right--and we have The ODB. Support him, let him do his job--and we WILL get the Bond we deserve!

As an original Bond fan who read the books as they were published and anxiously awaited each Sean Connery movie, I can say that I am excited about Bond again! I gave up on the Bond movies when Roger Moore took over. Only George Lazenby came close to Connery as Bond. I think Daniel Craig will make a much better Bond than Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan! I'm glad the Bond franchise is going back to it's roots and getting away from all the gadgets. I'll actually go to the movie theatre to see Casino Royale instead of waiting for the DVD! All you nay-sayers, give Daniel a chance!

feel really sorry for Daniel. I think all the criticism that he is recieving is ridiculous. It's a waste of energy to boycott something you've not even seen and it's really disrespectful to the actor when all he is trying to do is make a good film. No one has even see him play the character. Actors are supposed to change themselves to become the character that they are playing so how can you say that he isn't Bond? His job is to become him. And plus each actor brings something of their own to the role and think it will be fascinating to see Daniel be Bond. I can' wait! And even if some people are still unhappy once they seen Casino Royale then i think people can criticise him if they see fit, but i believe in him and i think that he is doing his very best to make a great film and that is what i'm most looking forward to. So, Go Daniel! Good for you for trying to ignore criticism. I admire you for persevering and I'm looking forward to seeing Casino Royale when it finally hits theaters. And I think you will make a great James Bond and even if other people don't agree I admire you for not being afraid to give it your all and be the best James that you can be. ((I am Sara Gale. A fan of Daniel Craig's James Bond.))

I'm gratefull that we are finally getting a Bond who can act. It's been a long time between martini's; (sorry). Seriously the only Bond who could act was Sean Connery. Daniel Craig is a godsend as the new bond. I don't understand why all the craigisnotbond jokers are so upset with his looks and haircolour?!! it's so trivial in the bigger scheme of things.

Personally I think Brosnan went one film too soon. I think Craig will be great though and wish him well for Casino Royale and many more Bonds. I can't understand all this anti-Craig nonsense. I'm really looking forward to the new film, I'm not bothered about the "look". From the few pictures I have seen, Daniel certainlylooks the part.

Brosnan's Bond movies should ALL be re-titled; Spy Kids Episodes 4,5,6 &7, because that's about as exciting & believable he was at playing the Bond character. If Daniel Craig acting is what they say it is, then he will be the best Bond since Connery.

If I wasn't allready sold before, I definately am now. Layer Cake alone sets the pace for what kind of Bond Craig will be, but now that I have seen the E.T. and Extra clips on the web I am sure Craig will not let the TRUE Bond fans down. Who cares about the blond hair or blue eyes, that actually adds a needed updated look to the 21st century Bond. If the internet existed back in the late 60's, George Lazenby would have received just as much opposition, as Dalton would have in the late 80's. People fear change and seem to have gotten to used to Brosnan. Craig reminds me most of Dalton, though not my favorite Bond, a more serious approach to the role. Best of luck to Craig and the Eon Productions.

I saw a teaser in a French site (http://www.jamesbond007.net/hmtl/sommaire.html) and the Sky News video report in the Bahamas, and I was impressed. I’m counting the days till November 30th (Portugal release date). The videos only made me more certain that Daniel Craig is the right man for the job. 007 is still alive and kicking ass.

It´s nice to see a counterwebsite for craigisnotbond. Although I think we, the fans of bond, don´t really need one. We already have a new and promising Bond, so we don´t need to petition and cry about the choice for a new Bond. We got what we wanted and no one can change that. That´s why we don´t have to do anything and can only enjoy reading people flaming Craig. Normal human beings don´t care if the hair is light-coloured or if the eyes are blue. They just dont. They care about acting. I´m also certain that 99% of all the few people that don´t like Craig being the new Bond will definitelty see the new Bond movie. Welcome to the real world.

Daniel Craig is an incredibly talented and charismatic actor - and I assume all those who are doubting him, simply havent seen any of his movies! You go Dan!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are a fan of the original Ian Fleming Novel of Casino Royale written in 1953 Craig does not fit Fleming's description. Craig maybe the best actor of all time but the truth remians that Craig is quite simply not Bond, his characters in all 20 or so of his films are flat and lack real body. James Bond is an exaggerated version of an old cold war MI6 (SIS) agent the acting ability is not required there needs to be more of a physical presence. Craig has a chance to disprove me and I hope he does, for the sake of modern British cinema.

Craig in "Munich" was better than all of the other Bonds combined. I'm a huge Bond fan, but the cartoon-like quality of most of the performers through the years makes watching these films in adulthood an almost grueling experience. Based on what this guy Craig did in "Munich" I would say that he has the toughness, complexity and emotional intelligence to out-Bond everyone. I think Brosnan played the role as a facile extension of his Remington Steele character. There wasn't any real edge to his characterization of a ruthless secret agent. Dalton seemed tongue tied by bad scripts, as though anything short of Shakepeare bored the hell out him. Moore treated the whole thing as a joke and failed to convince as a tough guy. Connery was great, but I think Craig is a better actor than Connery. The fact that he is not a sensationally handsome man like Connery works to his favor, because he must rely that much more on his talent, and his evident understanding of the dangerzone of the human soul, to create a real person. He will rely less on gimmocks and more on the dimensions of CHARACTER. "Casino Royale," baby. Anyone who doesn't understand that this guy is Bond is stalled in dementia-land. -Snake Eyes.

Craig is the first Bond since Connery who looks like he could actually kick someone's ass and get the job done. Also he is a great actor. So piss off you doubters.

Pierce Brosnan's Bond, was extremly BLAND. I'm so happy the producers got rid of him. As for Daniel Craig, i have a feeling his version of Bond will be darker and more ruthless than any other Bond. Hopefully they will leave the un-funny gags and one liners from Brosnan's crap performances for good this time around. I cant wait for Casino Royale, and have total faith that Craig will prove all the haters wrong. (Even though he has nothing to prove to these losers)

BROSNAN AND CONNERY ARE BEST JAMES BONDS EVER-AND CRAIG IS JUST NOT FOR THAT ROLE. I WILL NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE AND MILLIONS FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD IF CRAIG PLAYS BOND.

I am convinced that Craig is the best actor who has ever - and I mean ever - played James Bond". Quote from director Martin Campbell Eat that!

The new Bond, Daniel Craig, is a great choice from the producers. He may be blonde, but that doesn't mean he's a bad Bond. His ruggedness and personality of Bond is what will make the series become successful in the new millennium. And who knows, he may be the best Bond yet!!! This is what I'm waiting for at the end of 2006, in Casino Royale.

I've read some of Fleming's books and when I went to the movies I felt a little cheated with the way some actors made Bond seem soft, funny-ha-ha-look-at-me-doing-this-humanly-impossible-stunt-while-my-hair-looks-perfect, and childish. For those who say Mr. Craig is not a good choice because he is blond: we don’t know if Bond has dark or blond or red hair, in Octopussy Fleming only says that he is a tall man and that his eyes are blue-grey (by the way, the color of his hair doesn’t matter, we won’t judge his hair but his acting skill). And when they insult him by saying that Daniel Craig is ugly I start laughing. Why? Because a real man doesn’t need to be ‘pretty’. Do they really think that James Bond could be played by a pretty boy? Look at Mr. Connery. He had charisma, a face of a sexy rogue and a smile that… (I don’t know how to describe it in English…). Daniel has got that special something that will make him a truer 007. His Bond will be hard, cold, mysterious but also sweet in a rough way. His blue eyes are intense. Imagine those eyes looking straight at you in the big screen… Daniel Craig is not a pretty boy. He’s a real, hard, and sexy-as-hell, man. And yes, his James Bond will turn me on.

Daniel Craig will be a great James Bond. He is just one cool guy. I does'nt really matter what any one say's. He is the new Bond. Deal with it. I for one will be watching him..I have been lucky enough to notice his many tallent ssince his first film. He is every- thing a Bond should be, and more!!!! Yummy! He can count on me..
