Shame on all you Daniel Craig critics!

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2007)

I think I must be in a real minority here. I loved Sean's Bond (who does not?) but I also loved Tim Dalton (the head butt in the Land Rover in the opening sequence of The Living Daylights sold me - Bond fighting dirty - he is a gun for hire after all, for crying out loud!).
OK, and I have to add that (and yes I know I am not going to make any friends here) I thought Pierce Brosnan was a complete waste of space. I mean, come on, no matter how much you beef his lines up he is still *only* Remington Steele or that annoying git from Mrs Doubtfire...... And as for Roger Moore, he was only as good as his gadgets, which kinda narrows things down to a very cool Rolex and a nice little Lotus (although the boot strap gag in For Yours Eyes Only was clever). Although, to be fair, Mr Moore did also give us Yaphet Kotto, the third best Bond villain after the excellent Donald Pleasence and the mighty Gert Fröbe of course.
Lazenby is not even recognised by this administration, I am afraid.
All those people who slated Dan Craig before the poor sod even had a chance to show his goods need their heads looking at. OK, so he is not the best Bond ever, and I really do think they could have given him a better opening movie (although I still think CR is in the top 5 Bond's so far) but, come on guys, where do you all get off dissing a guy before he even starts the job? I for one believed it when Dan delivered his last line in the movie, the "you know my name" moment.
Now what he needs from the production guys is another Goldfinger and I really do think we will have the perfect Bond.
