Felicidades Daniel Craig....que lo pases bien
Doy mi apoyo a esta causa...no porque me parezca bien Daniel Craig como James Bond, sino porque no entiendo porque los fans de 007 hacen lo que estan haciendo, un fan de verdad de 007 tiene que apoyarlo aunque sean malos tiempos para la saga.

Happy Birthday from Germany, Daniel und have a lot of fun during filming CR. I wish you more luck than George Lazemby because it is sure that you are the better actor. Note : in ten years i want to say: Connery 7,Lazemby 1, Moore 7, Dalton 2, Brosnan 4 and Craig 4. Good Luck!!!!

Ever since I saw Daniel Craig in "Layer Cake" about a year ago. I thought he'd be the perfect new Bond. I don't know why people are all up in arms about him being the new Bond. Is it because he's blond? Is it because he's not "classically" handsome? I think it's great that the James Bond of the 21st Century has gotten a blood transfusion, we need a Bond with some edge and not just the same ole same ole

All I have to say is that those who are dissing Craig already for reasons I will never understand should watch his previous work and let his obvious talent speak for itself. The man is incredible to watch on screen. I should also add that ever since I heard the role was up for re-casting, I was a fierce proponent of Craig for the role -- I cannot even describe to you how excited I was when I learned he had actually gotten it!!! I won't let the inane rantings of opponents to his casting ruin it for me, but they sure are a rude and ignorant bunch. I just hope they do not influence Craig's own feelings toward making the movie, or that of the producers, etc. It's really a shame that only mainstream actors, even for a British film, get support from the general public. Layer Cake was a cinematic gem, for the most part due to the incredible acting of Colm Meaney and Daniel Craig in it. I can't wait for the new Bond movie to come out and silence the masses of naysayers. ^_^

As much as I think there have been better Bonds, I fully support the decision to cast Daniel Craig to be the next Bond. Why? Craig probably wouldn't fit in if he were to play an over-the-top Bond like predecessors, but I have a feeling that the producer is changing direction - moving from a superman-like Bond to a human-like Bond, and Craig may just be able to fit that bill, turning an ultra-handsome mystique super spy into an ordinary looking man.
Ultimately, the actor who plays the role and the role have to fit each other! Until we see the movie and the plot and the new Bond impression, you can't judge yet that Craig is not appropriate to play Bond.
I will reserve my judgement AFTER seeing the movie

Although I feel there was one more OO7 adventure left in Pierce Brosnan, it's time to move on already.
I am 100% behind Daniel Craig. I think he will make a fantastic Bond, more like the character created by Ian Fleming. Maybe he isn't as handsome as Moore or Brosnan, but he does have a grittiness about him, which will fit perfectly within Casino Royale's story. And the guy CAN act!
I do however think the film will under-perform because of the general public's stubborness to accept such a change in the series. Let's face it, Die Another Day was a poor film. Special effects and science fiction do not make a good Bond flick. Although the film was massive success, it flopped with us fans.
We pressured Eon for a change. We now have that change and people are still moaning. You just can't please people these days!
The sheer volume of moaning has taken me by suprise and the film hasn't even been released yet!! If it this happened after the film's release I could deal with it, but such negative attitudes are outrageous.
Let's get behind Daniel Craig and Casino Royale!!

Glad to see the producers going back to a more rougher round the edges Bond (aka Sean Connery) with Daniel Craig.
Brosnan was good but the recent films didn't really do him justice. It's sad to say that Brosnans coolest film to date is "The Thomas Crown Affair". Talking of which has anybody else noticed a similarity between Daniel Craig & the origional Thomas Crown, Steve McQueen, the coolest actor ever.
Hope we get back to the glory days of the Connery era, and the script writers give Daniel a character with the Connery humour and not the extremes of Dalton or Moore

Some so called Bond fans will just have to get use to Craig as Bond and hope for the best. If you are a Bond fan I can't see how you can't be excited about some of the things about this movie. Sure the SAFE choice for the producers would have been to just recast Brosnan since he can get 300+ million in even bad Bond films, but isn't it better that Brosnan left now instead of leaving when it gets silly like in the last Moore film. That boycott site has a meaness about it that is really unnecessary.

Daniel Craig is just fabulous!!!
Ive seen him in Tom Raider, where he was quite cool, but had to stand back besides my beautiful darling Angelina (if she had met me... bye, brad... :D)
Ive seen him in Road To Perdition, acting briliant, brutal and gone completely mad!!
Ive seen him in Layer Cake, absolutely cool, the guy has definitely some special look!!!
And Ive seen him in Munich, his most Bondlike part up to now I think... and he was amazing, cold as ice, really edgy and always fast with the gun (a Walther PPK, by the way!!!)...
Who else could reach his perfectly fitting style and acting talent??? I am definitely a big fan of the new Bond!!!!!

Although the producers have also chosen an actor to fill 007's shoes that is probably the closest yet to what Fleming originally wrote about(minus the hair colour). I am worried as the public did not approve when Timothy Dalton played a harder edged Bond in Licence to Kill in 1989. Although Craig may not be the obvious choice for the role (ref Clive Owen, James Purefoy etc).... HE IS BOND! Hence, all fans should give him support on his debut. If he fails to deliver, that is the time to complain....for now lets wait and see!

Not only have EON returned to Fleming's first ever Bond novel for the next film, they have also chosen an actor to fill 007's shoes that is probably the closest yet to what Fleming originally wrote all those years ago (minus the hair colour). Daniel Craig is without doubt the strongest, most suitable candidate by far to portray Fleming's 007. He has the icy-cold penetrating killer blue eyes, the hard, ruthless face and body that Fleming often used as words to describe him, and the vast range of Craig's acting ability to support this.
EON have been lucky to get Daniel Craig, and this is the first Bond movie that I have been truly excited about in many years. Ian Fleming's James Bond has finally returned!

Brilliant! I can't wait for Casino Royale :o)
I've been wanting a Bond like this for so looong!
» up by crazydutchgirl, 2006-03-01
I don't understand why so many "Bond fans' are convinced that Daniel Craig will not be a good Bond. Let's see the movie first, than and only than can you comment on his performance as our beloved secret service agent.
And if you ask me, he'll make a great Bond. Just look at the recent pictures from the bahamas, Dr. No anyone??? And the picture where he steps out of a plane, he looks so like Sean Connery as James Bond. I'm looking forward to Casino Royale!

Gday
I recently came across the website "craignotbond" and I certainly (and many others) were annoyed by its creation. What you're doing here is a good thing. im sick of these "supposed" Bond fans who seemingly don't have a clue what they're talking about. their attitude is childish. anyone who ditches a movie before they've seen it is a snob.
they talk about CASINO ROYALE lacking big names. Let me tell you something: big names (like Halle Berry) didn't help us last time! DIE ANOTHER DAY is the worst film and without a doubt had one of the poorest Bond girls in the form of Jinx. So I'd much prefer lesser known actors/actresses in the roles. And it starts with Craig.
I'm pleased Broccoli and Wilson have chosen well. Even though Dalton is my favourite Bond I can clearly see they're going for a Daltonesque approach. A tougher Bond. Hopefully this time itll work. But seriously we've (and that includes media) gotta give Daniel a chance! I mean come on. He hasnt even had a gunbarrel yet and people are already down on him like a tone of bricks! And even after CASINO ROYALE we probably wont be able to truely judge whether or not Craig will match the other Bonds, because every other Bond has taken time to adapt to the role (granted Lazenby or Dalton neither had time too).
My advice? See the movie then form an opinion. Me? I can't wait for it. A return to roots of sorts and a new Bond. Though I was a little disappointed Brosnan didnt return, im extremely excited by the new appointment. In truth if these guys are as imature as they seem, it's probably a good thing they're boycotting. Just don't get the media in the same boat as you!
And for those that are saying this site is ridiculous, in the end it probably had to be done, based on the fact that a group of "opposition Bond fans" created the "craignotbond" site. Personally, I'll support this website and support Daniel Craig with it!

Visnjic isn't Bond for two main reasons: he's too tall plus he doesn't have a good enough command of the English dialect. Try and imagine Visnjic in a one on one scene w/ Dame Judi Dench.. The Dame would eat him alive!!!! As for Brosnan, he was a great Bond and he looked the part, but he was more smarm than charm and though his Bond is tougher than Moore's, that's not saying much as Brosnan doesn't look that tough anyway especially when compared to Connery's or Lazenby's Bonds. Craig fits the bill perfectly and he will go on to be a badass Bond. GO DANNY GO!!!! .

I think that this site is ridiculous, you people are defending man that couldnt seduce 70 years old grandma.
I dont have anything personal against Daniel Craig, and he is a good actor, but Bond must be tall, dark like for example Goran Visnjic, or like Pierce Brosnan was.
I cant believe that anyone with helthy eyes could say that Daniel Craig is good looking, thats all.

Daniel Craig looks more like the Bond of the novels than Pierce Bronson or Roger Moore; Ian Fleming describes Bond"s appearance as that of a young Hoagy Carmchael. I just wish his hair was darker, that's all. Also, Daniel Craig isa good established actor. Enough said.
» up by Irish Bond Fan, 2006-03-01
Well done for setting up this site!!! A true james bond fan would never boycott any bond film. First I must say that as an irish James Bond fan I was delighted with Pierce brosnan obviously cause he was irish but I for one think that Daniel is the perfect choice for Bond. I have seen him in Layer Cake and Munich, two action thriller roles and he is brilliant in both. I cant wait for Casino Royale to hit the theaters. Let all us TRUE Bond fans make Casino Royale the highest grossing Bond film to date. Peace!

i am tired of all these brosnan huggers who want to humiliate DC in any way,and the movie hasn't even come out yet,BROSNAN HUGGERS read this **** U!!!
» up by Mathis, 2006-02-28
Aah! Finally a proper James Bond, with "cruel good looks", a "faintly piratical" appearance and a "tough looking" ruthlessness about him with "very clear blue-grey eyes" (all quotes from Ian Fleming). Ok so he doesn't have black hair, he has light brown hair big deal so did Roger.
I can't wait for Casino Royale, it looks like it will be fantastic and old school. As Tatiana said below he is smokin' like the barrel of his Walther PPK but looks believably very tough. *rubs hands together* hohooo can't wait ^_^

I at first hated the casting, I loved Brosnan and still do love him as Bond. I was angry when Criag was cast, now after seeing the photos of him as Bond and Layer Cake I love him as Bond. He will be physical and will be the most physically dominating Bond since Connery. The main thing I think that will help him gain support is a great script where the reboot isnt too big a player in the film and cast, all of which looks like is happening. Hopefully Bond 22 has a bit more style and class than CR so we dont get to all grit films in a row so Bond 23 can be gritty again.
Roll on November!!

2008-12-02 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.
