I will be very interested to see how Vladimir Putin, under his stage name of Daniel Craig, adapts to the historically anti-Russian character of perfidious English spy James Bond. Of course, the character has mellowed to the point of having the occasional Russian ally, as in Goldeneye. And Putin's intelligence background may give him unusual insight into current spy games. Still, it makes one yearn for the old days when the US/UK were the good guys, at least on screen, and the godless Russians weren't. And don't try telling me Craig isn't a thinly disguised Putin, just watch Layer Cake or Munich.
After seeing the trailer, I think he is swave and stylish look to him -- what I love about Craig is that he not very well known and has been working hard to be impress everyone. I think you should give him a try...

Despite the lack of box office success, Dalton was an excellent Bond. Athough only if you are a fan of Flemings books.
Connery was brilliant.
Craig, we'll see. I don't like what i'm hearing about his second film.
Roger Moore made a coule of good films, Live and let die and MWTGG. The others were shit.
Lazenby was the Fry's turkish delight man, enough said!
Thing is Bond is very dated as a cocept now and things like the Bourne movies have raised the bar for the spy/action genre in the way Dr. No did in the early sixties.

I agree that Dalton was the way Ian Flemming envisioned Bond. Its unfortuante that people say he was the worst. In fact, i would argue he was very good and starred in 2 very underated Bond films!
I don't think the Bond films are outdated at all. The character can be placed into any decade and, if done right, can be a HUGE success as we saw with Casino Royale.
The Bourne movies, to me, are nothing more than a rip-off of the James Bond concept. Its a variation on the James Bond-theme even the intials are purloined Jason Bourne/James Bond. Needless to say i'm not a fan of the Bourne movies. I think they're very cartoonish and silly/OVERATED!!
