Fleming's books not only prove fracking Craig is miscast as Bond but as all other roles inside Mi6 everything except as a villain. Read Fleming! Bozo!

He DIDN'T!

You've clutched at straws there with that handful of desperate points as to why CR is nothing remotely like the novel.
The novel had to be updated to modern audiences - hence why some of those changes were enforced.
But the essence of the novel remains more or less in tact for the second part of the movie. If you think it doesn't, then perhaps you are in denial, or living in a tiny bubble.
Clutching the straw trying to claim Craig is anything like what Fleming wrote. The whole story of CR didn't show up on the screen.
It's sick the extremest wrap themselves in the flag and try to claim their fanatic belief is the true path. Like the Koran is distorted now by extremest wanting to end the word you lot distorted and warp his vision to support the unsupportable. Craig. A man accurately and vibrantly described by Fleming's descriptions. Descriptions of bad guys and thugs to be loathed.
Vespers betrayal is nothing like it was in the book. The end with the mysterious rescuer who was not explained, was an open story in the book.He told Bond who is was and why Bond wasn't Killed.
The lame car wreck was not the same in the book. The torture scene is not as Fleming wrote. Craig plays the dialogue all wrong. Goes to the base and avoids the truly heroic scene Bond accomplished in the book.
So the like minded jihad are here and don't like it when people disagree with interpretation provided by Barbara Broccoli.
Barbara's interpretation is not what was written. It is cheap and flimsy redress of standard far s**t churned out by Hollywood.
Bond is assigned to play Le Chiffre at cards in a casino to try and stop him winning money to pay off his debts, so Bond can clean him out (check).
Bond almost gets killed by Le Chiffre during the card game (check).
Bond is working alongside Mathis and Vesper during this (check).
Bond gets cleaned out by Le Chiffre at cards (check).
Bond then gets rescued by Felix Leiter with more funds (check).
Bond beats Le Chiffre at cards (check).
Bond and Vesper eat/drink and celebrate. Vesper suddenly leaves after a message from Mathis (check).
Vesper his kidnapped and thrown in the back of a car. Bond realises there is a set-up, and runs out after them. A car chase pursues (check).
Bond crashes from an obstacle in the road (in the book it was nails I think. Putting Vesper there is more cinematic) - check.
Bond is captured, stripped naked, tied to a seatless chair and tortured (check).
Bond is rescued by Le Chiffre being shot in the head by the organisation he owed money to (check).
Bond recovers in hospital (check).
Bond and Vesper spend time together and (we presume) fall in love (check).
Vesper is followed BY Gettler, and she suspects this (check).
Vesper commits suicide, Bond realises he has been betrayed and utters the line to M `the bitch is dead.' (check).
I admit the ending is very different to the novel. I would have preferred the downbeat ending from the book, but I understand with today's audiences they would expect more, so understand why they included the Venice finale. SMERSH is also not the organisation behind Le Chiffre, but again, this has had to be updated to modern times. SMERSH wasn't even the organisation behind FRWL back in 63 - it was SPECTRE. The producers knew back then that they couldn't always stick rigid to Fleming - hence why we also had a speedboat chase in FRWL, something Fleming never wrote about.
Bond driving a Ford, dash defibrillators, playing poker and Montenegro casinos is splitting hairs in the extreme. Get out of your bubble, take your head out of the sandpit, or wherever you have been hiding. You may think Craig is the wrong choice to play Bond, fine, but to think CR could have been more like the book is, quite frankly pathetic. The book was hardly that cinematic to begin with, probably the least cinematic book he wrote. I think the producers did an admirable job adapting a novel written in 1952, to play to audiences in 2006, who have grown up expecting silly CGI, naff one-liners, flying lasers and ridiculous OTT action from their Bond films.
I suppose you will criticize the producers too then for making YOLT, DAF, LALD, TMWTGG, TSWLM, MR, OP and AVTAK nothing like the novels Fleming wrote?
please be respectful.
