What do you think of Daniel Craig so far? I like him because he's the most physically violent Bond actor in the series but I can understand why people don't like him. Craig has the tendency to be scruffy looking sometimes and I guess everybody got use to seeing stylish James Bonds.

Fiona: But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, who only has to make love to a woman and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing.
People can buy the clothes, except his Tom Ford line but can find alternatives and this makes people feel more like Bond. He is more what you would expect a MI6 operative to be like (similar to Bourne). Bond is no longer wrapped in bubble wrap like Moore, DC Bond gets hurt. He has no fancy gadgets.
It's the spirit of the Fleming books which I think Craig brings to life...and I'd nearly given up all hope of ever seeing that Bond. But during the torture scene in CR...Daniel Craig took full ownership of the role for me. My sig says it all
No disrespect to the great Sir Sean Connery :007) He'll always be the first...and I might eventually consider him 'the best' once again, when the intoxication of the moment has passed. He was the originator of the role...
But Craig is the second originator, for me---that's how pivotal his casting and performances have been so far, at least in my own personal opinion. Naturally, the remainder of his tenure will tell the final tale on how influential he was to the franchise as a whole.
