I work as a critic in Mexico City magazine "24xsegundo" (24xsecond) In our february issue, I publish an article about James Bond franchise history. Surprise, surprise: in 1962, Ian Flemming said CONNERY IS NOT BOND. His words were: "he is like an stuntman" After DR.NO, Flemming was so please with Sean. For that, he wrote Bond parent was from Scotland. Daniel will be a great Bond.

Brilliant. I must admit that Roger Moore and Dalton were great Bonds and where as the others all had their good points, I feel Daniel Craig is going to be a breath of fresh air!!! Its made a few of the lads I know mad that folk are jumping on the 'Anti Craig' bandwagon. It just seems that people really havent got a clue. Craig was wonderful in munich and the BBC epic 'Our Friends in the North'. So Dan, we support you for as long as you are in this role. You are Fantastic man!!!

Despite all the controvesy of the behind the scenes conflicts. I'm more than willing to give Craig a chance. I'm very intriqued,to see this film and I'm loving the new pics that are coming out. Ya know the anti-Craig site even puts Lazenby up in higher regard than Craig. They've forgotten that for decades his film was ignored and recently has been excepted,as a good Bond film. So get off the high horse! I mean really! W.

Daniel Craig is Bond. Nothing can change that. HIs skills in his job are outstanding. He is the character he's playing..in any of his movies....hes not Daniel Craig, he's XXXX or Steve....thats him. He will be James Bond,and do an outstanding job at it. i cannot wait. even those boycotting will go see it and realize.

Daniel was not my first option, but now HE IS 007, and I support him 100%. I believe Casino Royale will be the best Bond movie in 35 years.

GO Daniel, GO! Give him a chance. As long as you can't see him acting as James Bond, you can't judge about him.

The people behind www.craignotbond.com seem more upset that Brosnan was fired than Craig was hired.

Are you Kidding me????? We true-heart Bond fans have to wait four years for the next two hour 007 film? (Casino Royale) What skin is coming off the noses of these people who want to be "killjoys"! I just hope EON makes a "serious" 007 adventure ala From Russia with Love, Daniel Craig and Martin Campbell will do a bang-up job.

When he had any, was cut short. And so is Criag's. Ergo, Craig is the new Connery. Yay, Go Craig!!

It's difficult for every new Bond actor to become James Bond. It's difficult, because every actor who will be elected as James Bond, will be compared to the original - Sean Connery. Although I also think that Connery was the most convincing Bond, he was the Bond of the 1960's. And now we're in 2006 and there's a new Bond, Daniel Craig! So, why should we discredit Craig, before we haven't seen anything of him acting as James Bond? I'm convinced that Craig is the perfect choice as Brosnan's follower and especially as the actor who's going to renew Bond! So, you detractors and grumblers: Give Craig his chance to show himself and his suasive interpreation of Bond... James Bond!

Are all you people blind? Craig has the most neanderthal face in entertainment! He looks like he was stomped upon by Gov. Jesse Ventura. Too ulgly. He's done already.

I think it's great for a change. Looking at some of the pictures coming off the set,Daniel looks Absolutely yummy! These saddo,s wanting a diifferent Bond Are stupid, times change, we have to have a Bond for the 21st century to compete with films like the Bourne Movies , which i hate to say, but have made the Bond movies look staid and out of touch. I think he will be fab, a more grittier and down to earth bond ,Relying more on his wits than gadjets. I bet Daniel and the film makers will have the last laugh. And isn't it sad that on the craig not bond website they do not have a section for us to write our opinion, just that you must agree with them. Get over it guys, a true Brit is Bond again!!!!.

IMHO, EON have made the right choice in choosing Craig....Craig is a very bold, provocative step in the right direction and come November, he will answer his critics in style. Seeing the latest CR set photos confirms what I've known all along - that Craig's portrayal will be a throwback to Connery's classic Bond (DN, FRWL, GF & TB) that we all love and will do for the rest of our lives. Craig already has the talent, the ability, the chops and the look. DC will expand on those qualities w/ a more relevant, grittier, complex and darker style w/ his kick ass/take no prisoners/in your face/approach. Brosnan was a step up from Moore's portrayal and Craig will be a step up from Dalton's portrayal w/ more style, panache and attitude. I cannot wait until November. GO FOR IT DANIEL!!!

What the hell is wrong with those idiots frome the anti-Craig site posting on CraigIsBond.net?! You have nothing to do there, frikking idiots! Keep going with this, and we're going to fill Craignotbond.com with pro-Craig messages! GET LOST!!

There are many losers in this world. Mostly, those losers are conservative, affraid for change and dumb. Those losers work for tabloids or they don't work at all. All the negative news towards Daniel Craig still proves one thing: the James Bond franchise is invincible. Otherwise we would have seen anti-Christian Bale websites about the latest Batman film. Still, this did not happen. Bond is alive and kicking. People all over the world are concerned about the future of James Bond, and they have every right to do so. This also goes for the so called Craig-haters. One important difference between the Craig-haters and all other Bond fans is this: Those hatefull people are only criticising the new actor, forgetting the whole damn movie They completely forget the fact that Casino Royale will also be the last ever Bond novel adaptation ever (This also happened with that other Bond juwel: On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It is the most faithfull film adaptation ever!). It is complicated to adapt the first ever Bond novel, which is already 53 years old. To make the best of it, it is highly necessary to hire a new Bond-actor. So, Imagine this: Pierce Brosnan getting his first 00-number, when he already has performed in 4 previous Bond movies as the 7th agent of the 00-section: 007. People forget this fact, especially those Craig haters and semi-fans working at tabloids like Daily Star and Daily Mirror. So, give Daniel Craig a chance, and give some objective criticism after the premiere of Casino Royale. Meanwhile, take in mind that Casino Royale's adapted screenplay is written by Oscar winner Paul Haggis (Crash, Munich). And to finish this: Please honour Ian Fleming, he'd love to see the development of this movie.

Daniel Craig will make a terrible James Bond! Boycott Casino Royale!

Seeing the latest Casino Royale photos I am looking forward to this new Bond. I admit I was kind of suprised at first of the casting, but Craig was very good in Road to Perdition. He looks like he is in much better shape and seeing him hanging off that van looks killer. I think this new Bond should be interesting not the same old same old. Brosnan was a great bond for sure and is a box office pleaser in even bad Bond films, but seriously spies hitting their mid 50's would be getting desk jobs and it's a good time for a change. Also I saw that craignotbond site and it is sad imo, they exaggerate many things.

I feel bond fans should show the producers some respect.They have not got much wrong down the years.Daniel Craig must be given a chance .The early photos from the set he looks the part and with the bond team behind him he will probably be great.

I can't wait for Casino Royale, Daniel Craig looks great just check out the latest photos from the set in the bahamas: http://www.ajb007.co.uk/index.php?topic=24999&cpage=1 He is an excellent actor with an uncanny ability to morph himself into the most diverse roles in an astonishing manner. He has a great voice, deep, commanding and very elegantly English. I have no doubt that he will be the best James Bond since the early days of Sir Sean Connery.

The novel of Casino Royale that I own has a image of Bond that doesnt match any of the current Bond actors, except for Daniel Craig! He has the looks, and he has the skills to be a great effective James Bond.
» up

Lazenby wasn't skilled enough to be Bond. Moore wasn't serious enough to be Bond. Dalton wasn't funny enough to be Bond. Pierce wasn't tough enough to be Bond. Any of these arguements could be strongly made, and yet all of the actors above WERE Bond and brought something to the character. If you call yourself a "Bond Fan", either admit that nobody has ever been Bond since Connery, or stop your bitching about Craig's looks. He's going to make the cynics eat their words come November.

Craig is an excellent choice to play 007. I support him and Casino Royale 100%. He embodies perfectly that cold cruel streak that Fleming infused his character with. For those who fear a darker grittier Bond, don't forget, Connery had that side too - See the casual assasination of Professor Dent in Dr No.
