Hello,
I'm going to go out on a limb, here. I think Daniel Craig definitely has talent. He may not look how we picture James Bond, but he does in many essences "have what it takes".
However, being a fan of Ian Fleming and the film series, I loved Timothy Dalton's harder-edged 007 better.
Timothy had the Bond look, incredible acting skills, was very faithful to Fleming...taking the movies in a more serious direction, while still being faithful to the franchise.
I didn't hate "Casino Royale"...but it is definitely not my favorite film, either. It was a little too much of a "180 degree turn".
I think some of general dislike of the series' new direction should be shouldered on Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, and not so much on Daniel.
Just some "food for thought".
Take Care!

I think Craig is a good actor but I'm not sure you can 'act' James Bond. I don't think Sean Connery is the best actor ever but he brings his own personality and charisma to a part, including James Bond.

I've always admired Sean Connery's ability to do different accents.  |

Yeah, even though I love to mock Craig as much as the next guy, everything really comes down to EON. Of course, if anything should go wrong in November, Craig will ultimately be the fall guy. |

DC made a comment about three films and then 'getting on with his life'. Once november has swung around that will mean he has one film to go. It all depends on the box-office I suppose. If I was in his shoes I wouldn't be too quick to jump ship.

If QOS bombs, especially here in the US, EON should retire the series for 10 to 15 years.

I think he'd like to do at least one more after the critical drubbing QoS got.

If people enjoy his Bonds then that's fine. QOS was an awful movie and Craig's fans hated it. |

I hope this "one more" from DC CRASH AND BURN, especially here in US. It would be difficult for the next Bond film to be considered more disappointing than QOS. It was literally the worst reviewed Bond film in series history. (TMWTGG, AVTAK, LTK, and DAD all fared better upon release.) If you're hoping Bond 23 will flop at the box office, it's not going to happen. No Bond film is going to tank as long as they keep spending so much money to market them. If LTK had been given the same level of promotion as QOS, Dalton would've been in GE. |

You may have to redirect your obsessive infatuation with Craig (which is actually getting creepy, to put it bluntly) to some other outlet because things are not looking good for Danny. The fact is, Craig's last Bond film did fail. It was a critical flop. Commercially, it did questionable business at best because it cost $250 million to make and earned less than CR worldwide. In just its second week of release, QOS was blown away in popularity by Twilight. And you know what? The media has started to turn on Craig because look at all the reports about other actors possibly replacing him. And it's funny that Eon hasn't exactly come out to refute those reports. You can be sure Eon is looking at all sorts of options on how to move on with the series, and one of those options is getting a younger actor who can appeal to the demographics of Twilight and other recent popular films like Avatar. But this is all probably way over your head, buddy. You and the other guy Alvin are really entertaining.  |
