The anti craigs are in a majority. Over 60% of the James Bond fan base approve of the casting of Daniel Craig. As Commanderbond.net said it, "Fans embrace a more realistic version of James Bond". Before Craig was cast, I didn't believe that CR would be as serious and DTE as Campbell kept saying. But when they cast Craig, who is far from a prettyboy, I KNEW this movie was going to be different. The last few movies haven't felt like James Bond movies in any way. Bond was a man in his midlife-crisis acting like a teenager. The casting of Craig proves that this movie will be tough, DTE , and it wil take itself seriously, something the Bond movies haven't done since GE.

Frankly, am shocked at the seemingly vitriolic hate that has been directed at this man for merely accepting a job, based on the merit of his previous work, when none of the detractors bashing him could ever, in a million years, be Bond. I'm excited and relieved that finally a Bond film will not be the derivative rubbish it has been in the past, but rather will be headed by an gifted actor, who is one of the best English actors of the moment.

Let's be honest, the Bond films have been running on fumes for years; I think Mr Craig could be just the shot in the arm it needs. Take heart, all you dispirited "Bond fans" - your hero is about to become cool again... and it's all thanks to Craig. Daniel Craig. :D

I find all these anti-Daniel Craig people to be ridiculous. I keep thinking how hurtful everything they say is to him. I wish I could just hold him in my arms, and tell him how lovely he is, and tell him that he is the sex. He's wonderful!!! I love him. I saw "Layer Cake" about 2 days ago, and when I saw him in "Munich"... GOSH! There is something about his eyes that make me go wild. Those beautiful blue eyes. I usually don't see James Bond movies in the theatre, but to support DC and his sexiness, I'll go see it! Oh, and I love the way he walks. Teeheehehe!

This site looks so much better - a great counter to the anti-craigs site.

We won't know how Craig's Bond will turn out until CR opens, but the initial signs are premising. Craig wasn't a name that I'd have ever thought of, but he's an inspired choice - the moment I heard the rumours of his casting it immediately clicked and just felt absolutely right in a way that none of the other alleged candidates did. In fact, it semed such a daring and inspired choice I thought it would never happen and EON would play safe with a more lightweight choice. I've followed Craig's career as an actor over the years, and he's often been the best thing in the movies he's made. He's certainly one of the best British actors of his generation, and in many ways he's in a comparable position to Connery before he was cast as Bond. The most significant thing about his casting is that rather than go just for a look, despite all the names the media were promoting simply because they had worn a tux at some time in their life, EON went for someone with real talent. Hopefully that means that this Bond will be more than just a physically demanding part. It's sad how petty the objections are, and the way the haters are, by default, turning many Bond fans against Brosnan's better films. The casting of every new Bond has been controversial, but the internet has given rise to a new level of pettiness - ugly, unknown, doesn't look like Pierce, he only got the part because he's 'friends' with Babs, the film will be such a flop it will be out of theaters in two weeks, etc - that really looks increasingly ridiculous with each passing day. Regardless of how good or bad the finished film is, the series history will ensure that it won't be the bomb a handful of rather strange people are predicting. And at the end of the day, I'm hoping that Craig's performance will be a big part of making it a success. Sure, he might stumble, but the initial signs are very promising that his Bond could have some of the old school magic and give the series a new lease of life. I wasn't overly enthusiastic about DAD, which played too much to the series' weaknesses, but Casino Royale is the first Bond film I've been really looking forward to for a long time. And Craig's casting is a very big part of that.

I think it was a pretty goog sign, that whenever Craig appeared on screen in Munich, I wondered whether he was already practicing for Bond while he was shooting with Spielberg. Craig's performance in Munich was just cool!
