He is the best Bond since Connery. I like his personna, Brosnan was too delicate for my tastes.

I actually think he is the best Bond (I know I am gonna get flack for that) but I do. And I don't blame any woman for thinking he is hot. I'm not into blondes really but Daniel Craig is intense, tough, strong, and mysterious. All good things in a Bond. I felt like Brosnan seemed too happy or something and smiled through the role too much.

I don't know if I'd go that far after just one flick, but I think he's very good. I think part of the advantage for Craig is the scripts he's getting as opposed to the other ones. I really like the new, grittier stories and I'm glad the cheesiness is gone.

The Brosnan movies were atrocious. The one with Halle Berry was an eye roller.

He was no George Lazenby.

That's true, but Craig looks more like a real person, a real agent, with a snappier haberdasher of course.

See, this is pretty much how I feel. He's not exactly my type, but at the same time I'd still be willing to let him make me into a Bond girl, if you know what I mean.

Are you saying you'd let him sit across from you at the LSAT?

That was Ms. Shorten's reaction. I never probed to find out if it was a good wow or a bad wow.

On topic, I agree craig is vastly superior to Remington Brosnan.

All of the reviews I have heard for this have been disappointing. Not sure that I care much about the plot line either.

I attended a sneak preview yesterday evening. It was pretty good as action flicks go. Lots of explosions, fighting, chasing, tension. But the plot was difficult to follow and the pacing was strange to me. I did like how they abandoned lots of cheesy one-liners, and they tried to humanize Bond too, like in the first film. All in all, worth the time.

I wouldn't say it was better than Casino Royale, but I'd put it in the top third of Bond movies.

See I have heard that as action flick it's good. But for a Bond film it's not what it should be. I hope it surprises me. I had very low expectations for Casino Royale after the last Brosnan Bond movie.

Goldeneye was very good but the Brosnan movies went downhill from there.
