Personally, I don't care much for him. I think that, after a medicore first movie (Casino Royale) and a terrible second movie (Quantum of Solace), he should be replaced.

Who agrees?

He is a great Bond. QoS just sucked. Casino Royale was MUCH better.

I think he was great in both movies. I liked Quantum. And if anything , he did not seem to be the main issue people had with the 2nd movie.

No... Casino Royal sucked badly. You had a guy singing a TERRIBLE opening song, the traditional part where bond shoots the camera was done in a bathroom not a white room, you watched an incredibly long game of poker which was about as interesting as watching paint dry, the car "chase" involved him driving for a little bit and then spinning off the road seconds later and there was absolutely no epic ending scene where bond goes into enemy headquarters and kills every man in there whilst dismanteling a nuke and then coming away from the whole experience willing to bang a load of women.

That's another thing, Bond is too serious nowa-days. He's all "I'm angry cause the badguys killed mah girlfriend! >: ("

Bond should return to the kind of - awesome one liners like

Q: "You should be able to shoot through the manual in a few days"

Bond: *Throws Manual into machinegun fire* "only took me a couple of seconds :)"

and his kind of awesomeness which involved wearing glasses which allowed him to look through people's clothes and then staring at the women.

Yeah... Daniel Craig is cool, but both the movies and his character need to return to the old version of Bond.

I don't even think he looks like bond, so yes he should be replaced. I heard they were considering James Purefoy, but somehow they landed on Daniel Craig.

It is Marc Forster who should be forever banned from directing action films.

Daniel Craig is a great Bond. The biggest problem with him, just like Brosnan, is the bad directors and producers that screwed both of them over.

This.

Casino Royal was excellent. Quantum of Solace wasn't awful because of him if you ask me.

Casino Royale, mediocre? It was a good film, I thought it had something special, it grew out of the cheesiness that James Bond usually is and it became more grown up.

I think he's a great bond. Only one man could replace him but he'd never do it, so I'm happy with Daniel Craig as Bond.

Casino Royale is a Bond classic. FAR from mediocre. Plus, he's my favourite Bond besides Connery. Keep him there, is my opinion; the fact Quantum sucked (or so I keep hearing...) doesn't mean he was the cause of that suckage...

Connery and Craig are my favorite of the Bonds. I thought Casino Royale = 9 and the new one = 7.5/10, both are pretty good films.

How can you call Casino Royale such a bad movie?

I don't agree at all. Daniel Craig is awesome as James Bond. He is very cold and tough, the way the character should be. I thought Casino Royale was excellent. It really reinvented a stale franchise. Quantum however was dreadful. Though I think that was more Mark Forster was definitely more to blame than anyone. I have a feeling a lot of that movie was cut down. Stumpt25: Dude, lol...you're way too caught up in the cliches of the old Bond films IMO. People wanted something new and fresh.

swamprat_basic

Exactly! Well, him and the scriptwriter for Quantum of Solace...assuming that they had one (I couldn't tell).

Bond actors cannot be defined by the films that they were in:
Brosnan was a pretty good Bond, but was in terrible movies.
Lazenby wasn't particularly good, but was in the best Bond film.
Craig is a great Bond, but was in arguably the worst Bond film (Quantum of Solace - yes, I actually preferred Moonraker over it).

You have a full twenty movies of that Bond, it's time for something new. And I say Craig is superb. CR was great, QoS was just okay, but he was excellent in both.

The script writer was Paul Haggis and someone else. Haggis is VERY talented. He wrote/directed Crash, he wrote Million Dollar Baby and In the Valley of Ellah. I definitely think that the either the director or the studio cut this film down. Haggis would not have written a script that was only 100 minutes with that little plot.

He is the best Bond, and has set the franchise off in a new direction. What most critics of QoS don't realize is that that movie is just the second part of the Daniel Craig movie line. His movies will all connect together to make one massive story unlike all the other Bond movies which are individual stories in themselves.

Bond movies were terrible before Daniel Craig stepped in.

Casino Royale = Best Bond Film By Far

Daniel Craig = Best Bond Actor By Far

The Bad Guy in Casino Royale / Quantum of Solace > Every Bond Villian Ever Created

also, roger moore, sean connery and pierce brosnan were AWFUL as Bond.

I love bond now. It's much less cheesy and campy, it's an IP I'd actually like to see more of now, and it's because this reinvention of the series is amazing. Now if only they could get rid of the retarded title sequences...
