Craig is a good actor, no doubt about it. He was very good in "Enduring Love" and "Road To Perdition", as well as playing a rather devilish Ted Hughes in "Sylvia". I have no problem with him as an actor I'm just not sure he's Bond material. I'm sensing another Dalton era: good actor, bad fit.

Ive been secretly dissapointed with the last two films, or maybe it was just the villians in the last two havent lived up to the sublime Jonathan Pryce as Elliot Carver, or the wonderful performance of Sean Bean in Goldeneye. Robert Carlyle was wasted as a villain, and I couldnt even tell you who played the bad guys in the last one, it was that unmemorable.
The first two Brosnans (particularly Tomorrow Never Dies) were excellent, and really showed a return to form after a slump in the Bond world. The third wasn't too bad (though Carlyle is certainly downplayed, and the role he was given was neither particularly menacing or stylish). The last one was just plain awful, and so in some respects a younger, less gadget-driven Bond (one who isn't likely to drive an invisible car) might be a breath of fresh air. I remain to be impressed, though.
They'd also better get some decent Bond totty in the next movie - no more corset-clad Madonna or saggy breasted Berry, thank you very much.
