Anyone else not like the Daniel Craig James Bond

He is a good actor, but the charachter never seems like jb. James Bond is supposed to be a suave gadget savy spy who never loses his cool. He was tough on bad guys but he never stoop to their level or lost who he was. He also had a better attitude on life. The Daniel Craig James Bond often falls into the bad portray of a thug fighting thugs. The same charachterisation often happens to the bad guy, where we have a hero and complely cast away his morals.

This is kinda why I'm so disappointed with the new James Bonds... They just don't feel like Bond films anymore. They're too much like every-other archetyical action flick, and there's no more over-the top gadgets or supervillians with cool lairs and insane schemes to take over the world or monopolize a market or just flat out wreak havoc. The new films just seem like every other action film.Setsa

Totally agree. I think Pierce Brosnan was the best Bond, closely followed by Sean Connery.

Daniel Craig's bond really seems like a thug. The movies aren't light and fun anymore. They tried to make the series too serious and it resulted in a mushy pile of bleh.

Idon't hate the actor, but the directing/story stlyl e of the bond movies he is in

Casino Royal did what I though was imposible for a Bond movie, be boooooring

What advanced gadget did he get to use? A ******** defibulator hidden in a secret glove compartment

What the ****, its supposed to be Bond NOT BOURNE!

[QUOTE="Setsa"][QUOTE="Diophage"] Hmm, yeah, I felt that way about Quantum of Solace, but Casino Royale is pretty damn awesome. EsYuGee

I like the more rugged Bond that he portrays and Casino Royale was the best Bond movie since Goldeneye.

That being said, Quantum of Solace=garbage.

I really liked Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace was just OK.

Not a fan at all. Don't like him as Bond and I don't like his era of bond movies that are just generic action movies. Where have all the gadgets that make Bond, Bond, gone?

He was good in Casino Royale. But by Quantum of Solace, his James Bourne gimmick had worn off.

Tim Dalton was much better at portraying a serious take on Bond, since unlike Craig, he actually feels like Bond.

As a massive "Prisoner" fan I have to say that Patrick Mcgoohan was the best bond that never was. As for Daniel Craig, Casino Royal was a good film, but didn't quite feel like a bond film to me., Quantum of Solace was just rubbish. All bonds since Connery have followedthistrend though. Take Timothy Dalton, for example,whoDanielCraig might be most reminiscent of.TheLiving Daylights is a greatBond film (afghanistan aside), butLicense to Kill is dissappointing.

It's ok. I think JB was in massive need of a reboot.

Casino Royale was great. Quantum of Solace, not so much.

isn't he more like the book verion of Bond, a cold hearted killer?

I don't really have a strong opinion so far since I didn't care for the last two Bond films anyway.

I actually liked Quantom of Solace despite it's convoluted plot. Daniel Craig is a great Bond. He reminds me of the Bond I remember from the books. He is also a bit similar to Timothy Dalton in how cold he is. I am one of the few who thinks Dalton was a great bond though. The gadgets in the Brosnan movies were getting silly. I don't mind that usually, but you can't just have campy bond. It's good to mix it up with rough Bond. He is meant to be a ruthless yet suave killer anyway, at least he was in the books.

I like him as an actor, but i kinda would like to see how it would have turned out had they had gotten clive owen to play him as they had intended to.

Casino Royale was GREAT.

Quantum of Solace was, well... could we not talk about Quantum of Solace?

Looking forward to the next Bond flick - he's a great character.

• Just remember:

Jason Bourne > James Bond,

United States > United Kindgom.

Why ppl hate so much Quantum of Solace? I liked it, sure, it didn't come close to Casino Royale but it wasn't that bad. Miroku32

I couldn't get through the whole movie... I passed out about 20mins in... I'll give it another chance but I've tried numerous times before and it led to the same results. Sleep.

Remember, Daniel Craig's Bond is the EARLY Bond, chronologically. Casino Royale was his FIRST mission as a double-o.

QFT though I really can't say much about Daniel Craig's Bond considering I haven't watched any of them. The previews never really captured my interest and didn't feel very "James Bond-ish" to me.

I don't think it matters what actor plays James Bond. The films aren't at all interesting. And no star power could save them from that truth.

I quite like him,hes certainly not afraid of getting his hands dirty

I Don't think he looks like bond should, which irks me. Whilst I do appreciate that he acts like a younger, more reckless bond, I don't mind that. It's just that sometimes he does start to act a bit too much like your average action hero.

I think Craig is the best Bond by far. Brosnan, Connery and the rest were just so outlandish and over the top that the movies came off as ridiculous and I couldn't take them seriously (me and my friends watch earlier Bond films for laughs). Craig was the first Bond that actually felt realistic and cool.
