Craig is the next Bond.

That's because everybody is long since tired of whole thing.

Anyway, it's not like noone saw this coming.

I agree with you on the first bit, but how can you say that second part? There were rumours for almost any near-UK actor who fit the description. There were even rumours that Pierce Brosnan would come back, despite him saying that he wouldn't.

Craig has dominated the rumours for the last couple of months, man.

When things cooled down a tad, he was the only one left standing.

And voila.

Craig can't possibly make Bond any worse.

The 007 franchise has been abused so badly, someone should send it to a shelter.

How's this?

I think he could work. I do like the idea of a darker, more serious and character (as opposed to gadget) driven Bond. Probably why I always liked the Timothy Dalton Bond movies.

However, since they're generally the least popular, I'm also concerned for the franchise, a bit.

Licence to Kill, right? He was all business, if a bit too thuggish for my taste.

But Living Daylights' Bond was a wimp.

VB!!! that is not nice...but the words are true.

Nope. Living Daylights has always been my favorite Bond film.

I actually always liked Dalton best as Bond... The Connery movies were - for the most part - too dated and corny for my taste, so Connery suffered by association, and after I hit adulthood, Roger Moore started to look to me less like a suave superspy and more like a skinny, prissy old man.

Brosnan looked right for the part, but didn't quite have the charisma or the attitude - and the fact the newest movies were generic crap didn't help things at all... Especially after movies like the Bourne Identity, which showed how good a modern spy thriller could be.

As far as I'm concerned, any attempt to make the Bond movies more gritty can only be a good thing, and I'm glad they're trying someone new...

But it's not dark! It's superbright! It's campy!

I mean, I also liked it better than License to Kill, but goddamnit, to call it dark and gritty
just seems absurd to me. Heck, it even has a sloppy touchy-feely romantic ending!
