Ever since I first heard that Casino Royale was getting made properly (i.e. not like the comedy version) I was really excited. I saw Die Another Day in the cinema and was rather let down, it was alright, but it was so overblown and silly and un-real in all aspects from the tech to the action and to Bond himself. I had been really impressed by Craig in "Layer Cake" where he commanded both a suave subtlety and a powerful strength - ideal for the new tougher, grittier Bond - something which I'm really looking forward to seeing. Going back to the start of Bond - especially adapting from Flemying material - is something I'm really excited about. I haven't really seen the Bond movies before Brosnan (I know, sacrilege) but I'm slowly getting there. Anyway, point being - blond or not (who cares about his hair!? ) - they wouldn't have picked him if he wasn't the right man for the job. I've always been well up for this film and the early reviews are now confirming my expectations for greatness. A reboot, a refresh if you will, for the Bond franchise.

Some of the hardcore James Bond geeks have been flaming Daniel Craig and for some reason I had that 'hunch' he was gonna kick ass all along. Personally, I think Pierce Brosnan played a stereotypical Bond and his presence was often similar to that of a tree. This flatlined franchise had just been given a jumpstart by a damn fine actor, I can't wait for this!

I'm eagerly looking forward to it. Martin Campbell resurrected the film franchise with "Goldeneye" and I suspect he will do the same with "Casino Royale". Having read the book and being a fan of 007.......I'll be in the theater on opening weekend....that much I can assure you off. I saw "Layer Cake" and rock on Craig....I have faith in you.

I saw "Layer Cake" and rock on Craig....I have faith in you. Layer cake was the reason why I knew he was gonna rock the Bond role all along. He's a different cup of tea altogether and I like that.

I think Pierce Brosnan played a stereotypical Bond and his presence was often similar to that of a tree. A tree!!?? You give him too much credit! I've been a Bond fan for as long as I can remember.......HATED Brosnan!!! We'll see what Daniel Craig can pull off!! (At least it's not someone like Viggo "I Couldn't Act My Way Out of a Wet Paper Bag if my life depended on it" Mortensen or that awful Heath "Please Pass the Blush and Mascara - Oh and While You're at it, Saddle me up a Horse and get Neil Patrick Harris on the phone, Pronto!" Ledger) I'm still waiting on the day we get a FEMALE 007!!!!! (you know they're gonna ) Personally, I think the next Bond should be black.....and played by Samuel L. Jackson. "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherf*cking zeroes next to my motherf*cking SEVEN! !!!"

I'm still waiting on the day we get a FEMALE 007!!!!! Angelina Jolie? Michelle Rodriguez? Answers on a postcard please.

a female 007? are you mad?! how would do you translate one of the ultimate masculine archetypes into a female? hehe a lesbian bond? actually, suddenly i agree with you... really looking forward to a decent casino royale, they flame craig but theres a sketch of bond done for newspapers by fleming himsel, and guess what, he looks creepily like d. craig. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:F...impression.jpg oh yeah, and say what you will about the brosnan era, but it did give us 007 for the n64!

i dunno i think the black dude from resident evil would hav e done a better job as bond, i aint that big a bond fan but ill probably get the dvd ,my brother on the other hand will probably squeal like a girl/pig when the credits roll in the cinema.

i dunno i think the black dude from resident evil would have done a better job as bond... That would be Colin Salmon and yeah, he would've kicked ass.

lol, can't see a female Bond, because like the stereotype goes: * Bloke who shags loadsa women = "top man, good on ya, wey-hey" * Woman who shags loadsa men = "you slaaaaaaag" * Woman who shags loadsa women = "top shelf XXX Bond spin-off"

[Danny]

c'mon hes saying wat'yall r thinking.

Then it wouldn't be cool if she screwed 8 men in one movie.....she would just be a whore.

Goldeneye was a good start, but the rest of brosnan's were dire, they turned bond into a sub-arnold action hero, plus the plots of his last two movies were stupid. the director of goldeneye is doing casino royale btw.

Browneye was okay but I think last 'great' bond movie was Moonraker. Sorry guys...
