Any actor that plays James Bond has to be super-handsome while Craig is not even handsome. I don't care if he's a good actor (which he isn't), you have to look the part; I mean, Al Pacino is a better actor than Christopher Reeve so would that mean that he should have been Superman? Dani de Vito is a good actor should we cast him as Bond? and to be honest Bond is not Shakespear or 'Death of a salesman' you have to be a decent actor, yes, but you also have to be charming and to look comvincing in the action scenes (a trait that Arnie and Stallone have - so it's not related to acting) and most importantly YOU HAVE TO LOOK THE PART. And as to Mr's Flemming vision - so what! his books were pulp; I never liked the books and I don't think they are great (let me remind you that he didn't think Connery was suitable); Have you ever read 'For your eyes only?" it's about some woman in a hotel and her sexual history, so maybe that should have been the movie?...

I'm talking about the movies and what we all expect Bond to sound or look like; Craig is not that, sorry.
He's not handsome enough or charming enough, he actually looks like the villain. I would never see a movie with a midget superman, or a skinny Tarzan or mini-me as Casanova and I'm certainly not going to see Craig.

Daniel Craig is possibly the WORST actor in films today. Additionally, his looks are absolutely wrong for the part of James Bond. Sorry, people who think Craig is even halfway decent don't know what they are talking about. I enjoyed ALL the previous Bond Films but I will certainly boycott Casino Royale.

Look at those stupid American who picked Brandon Routh, a 27 year old soap actor, to be the next superman just because he looks PERFECT for the part, and the only thing that those stupid Yanks will have to show for it is HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of millions in box office revenues, action figures and DVD sales (not to mention sequals)

Lucky for us that those genius Brits don't go for that, they cast Craig who is a "good" actor and has an "edge"; who cares about little things like looks or charm, it's not like cinema is a visual medium, or that people excpect their heros to be handsome, perish the thought!!!

And those Brits are still pondering why Americans rule the world and why their own empire collapsed.

I admit that he doesn't look like the other guys; but the series has become tired and formulaic, and nowdays, where even young people must have seen the entire series on T.V or D.V.D they are less inclined to go and see more of the same thing over and over again (I didn't go to the cinema to watch the last two Bonds, and after watching them on T.V, I'm glad I didn't)

The producers must have figured that out and decided to reinvent the character, so this next movie will be a sharp change from the previous ones, and Craig, apperently, fits that new Bond spirit; i.e crueler edgier, more psychophtic; and the violence will probably be grittier, more Tarantino-like.

Addmitingly, this is a huge risk, and Casino Royal may be the last Bond or it may be the first in the "new millenium Bond" series (maybe it should have been called "Do Or Die").

I'll will try to see this movie from the viewpoint of someone who hasn't seen the other movies and judge it for itself.
I've waisted my money on much worst movies and I'm willing to take the chance on this one.
