Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Arguments here maybe aren't highly developed but the conclusion... is perfectly right :D
- "Do I look like I give a d**n?"
- You don't. And that's the main problem.

I've heard that Daniel Craig may have the same hairstyle as Benny Hinn in the next film.

i prefer Moore to Craig, although I'm not a huge fan of Moore's Bond portrayal. But, Moore was my favorite actor to play Simon Templar, and that character was nothing but class. Daniel Craig may be a decent actor, but he doesn't make for a good James Bond.

Who do you prefer Roger Moore or Daniel Craig

Roger Moore, it's no contest. After lazenby flopped everyone said the Bond films could'nt continue without Connery. Moore kept the Bond films going & the money rolling in. Classic Moore Films - L&LD, TSWLM, FYEO & O. M was over the top but still smashed box office records. In his first couple of films, Moore looked younger than Craig does now. Moore managed to look good in all his Bond films, apart from AVTAK. Moore also had the wit, aplomb looks and confidence for the part. Craig does'nt.

Craig has only made one film which has completly split the audience. Some love him, some hate him. No one really says he's handsome or has gravitas. He has just bulked up, runs around and throws lots of punches, before falling in love. I could do that.

Moore made seven Bond movies and literally saved the franchise. People said the Bond movies could'nt continue without Connery after Lazenby flopped. In his first three Bond movies Moore looked younger than Craig does now. He still looked good in his next three & only looked too old in AVTAK. Moore made some classic and very popular Bond movies. He was handsome, debonair, smooth and was the perfect Bond for the 70's & early 80's. Craig has'nt got any of these attributes and is not good looking.

If I'm not mistaken, Sir Roger Moore did not come from the most privaliged of backgrounds. But he did bring Bond's English (Swiss-Italian whatever - he was brough up in England) gentleman side to the screen. Unlike Craig who bizarrely played Bond as a lower-class hooligan.
