I don't yet. I think its funny that they said before that they're looking for:
A younger Bond
A reboot of the series
A more gritty Bond
and they chose:
A man who looks really old for his age
Judi Dench is back? How's that a reboot?
I read an article where so many groups protested, and now they won't let him smoke in the film - much, much grittier...:-/
I don't understand why they got a blonde to play him either. Unless he dyes his hair, this is gonna be ridiculous.
How do you know that Craig will be a bad bond when NOBODY has seen him act as Bond. Give the guy a chance, I really hope he excells in Casino Royale to shove back the criticism in everyones face.
Original Miss Moneypenny actor Lois Maxwell says new Bond Daniel Craig is not handsome enough.
"He's not as handsome as Roger or Sean, is he???? said Maxwell, who played the spy’s secretary in 14 films over 23 years. She continued: “He has what you'd call an interesting face. Perhaps the make-up girls could do something to him - maybe give him a wig."
She was also upset that producers had chosen to cut Moneypenny’s role from the upcoming movie. "Bond without Moneypenny is a travesty,??? she said. “It's the end of an era."
I think its ridiculous that they cut Moneypenny out too, and I agree with her, Craig isn't handsome enough to be Bond. I'm not gay but 007 should be a good looking guy. I don't see Craig getting many women out of sheer looks.
But Maxwell wasn't my favorite Moneypenny anyway. I like Samantha Bond the best.
i'm not really known on these bond forums but i would like to say some thing about the new bond.
Daniel Craig is the worst choice to play James Bond. First of all he is blond!! No other bond has ever been blond. Second he is not handsome. When it comes to James Bond you have to pay respect to some tradition. With the exceptions of a few 007 movies they have all been about traditions. the songs, the music, the villains, the gadgets, the cars, the impossible action. Die another day is not an example of that. And i believe that is where they went wrong.
People who say that we have not yet seen Mr. craig in action are obviously not aware of these traditions. james Bond can't be blond and Madonna can't sing another bond song.
People should not get me wrong. Daniel craig is a great actor. I really loved him in Layer Cake. But he is no Bond Material. Madonna is also a great singer but that was not a Bond Song. I liked the song though
How do you know he's a terrible Bond, when he hasn't even played him yet. I hope Casino Royale is close to the novel. Daniel Craig could play a good Bond as long as it's the book Bond, which is more girttier and darker.

BOND FANS PLAN BOYCOTT: A cadre of James Bond enthusiasts have launched CraigNotBond.com, a website protesting (albeit at a rather late date) the casting of blond Brit Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. Calling Craig "a terrible choice," the site posits that Bond fans will boycott the new 007 film-franchise entry. Not helping Craig's perception, surely, is a New York Daily News report that the actor has already broken two front teeth during a fight scene and was utterly stymied by the manual gearshift of Bond's trademark Aston Martin.
