Of course.And Craig's aging so rapidly it's going to see be interesting to see whether they have to do some digital editing on his face(botox can only work so many wonders!)

Welcome, by the way!

Welcome the forum. You are in good company as there are quite a few fakirs on here.

I was going to do that joke!

In the past, during Brosnan time. I would have been excited with any new Bond movie news. Nowadays, the news I want to hear is that they are going to select a new Bond actor!

For me, Craig, DOES NOT LOOK THE PART! He is no Bond, period! So, again, not interested in Bond 23, or 22 or 21!

I'm not going to see Bond 23. But I'm sure the ads for it will be unavoidable(badly cobbled together to make it look like a better movie than it is.)

If I had a choice between watching bond 23 and a godawful episode of doctor who done by Russell T Davies I'd grit My teeth and watch Russells doc who.

Bond 23 may as well just be put in an art museum since that's eons focus now to make bond as majestic as the mona lisa, christ I hate what they've done to this franchise it's run by art snobs now not people that love bond and what it used to stand for.

That'd be a no-brainer choice for me (unless the Doctor Who episode in question was Love and Monsters).

Would you prefer watching a Jerry Sadowitz Bond movie than Bond 23?

Like Carl said, this man should be James Bond immediately.

That is true and I seriously hope Bond 23 is Craig's last outing as Bond.

They want to make Bond more Bourne-like! Wants to make Bond like everyday people you met in supermarket. That is Bourne but for Bond, he is what every man out there wants to be like.

Excatly, Bond is what I'd like to be, ( Not Craig obviously, as even I'm better looking

) But they've made him now so Depressed, always on about Vesper. Hell grow a Pair Man and get over it.

It's the Oprah Winfrey-ization of the Bond franchise-all about "sharing your feelings" and such. Barf.

Given the "success" of his non-Bond movies, I reckon he'll be playing Bond untill he's 70.

Oh please lord, no. Think of the epic amounts of Botox he'll have had injected by then!

Craig Doesn't need Bond, He's a huge Superstar Of an Actor. Just look at the Meg Bucks All his Movies Take In. One Massive hit after another. Hell Eon was luck to get him given all the studios Fighting over his contract.

If that's the case, send in this individual as Bond once DC retires.

Can we add "Too lemon featured" to the poll?

LOL, great replies guys!

On a trip to Thailand a couple of years back, I was going thru some DVD's (not fake DVD shop but a legit one!) and asked the attractive salesgirl if she saw Casino Royale and this is not made up. She just made a disgusted face while pointing at Craig on the DVD cover! That said a lot about how she felt about Craig as Bond!

Strange, but I don't see Craig as leading man material. I honestly don't remember watching any movie he stars in, oh yes, Tomb Raider but that was years ago and er.... erm........ er.... no, that's all! I want to watch Cowboys and Aliens because of Harrison Ford and not Craig.

I do miss the days when villians in James Bond movies are over the top super villians and Bond was the man to take them down with crazy stunts and no matter how silly or overly done, its still enjoyable! I am going to watch Die Another Day on me DVD now!

I can barely remember the villian from QOS. Casino Royale had a weak Le Chiffre.
