Correct. That is a major flaw here for a lot of us, and it does not go with the traditional Bond concept, but more of a new-age grunge look, and that is disturbing to many.

To be fair to the Craigster, he has played a few strange characters in his films and has had to dress accordingly - which is why there are lots of bizarre photos on Google images!
Bring back Bond!

His interpretaion of Bond was pretty strange, a socialpath and an uncouth football hooligan with a crew cut. Looks more at home in a local drinking pit than a wine bar and whats with the gurning and pursed lips? :lol:

Sorry Sweeney :D I think i would have to see what direction they take for the next film, i hope it will be more of a traditional Bond film and i hope it is not as dreary as the previous film.

I gotta be honest and say i personaly dont like the direction they are allegedly taking but i think to see something tangeble like a trailer or some stills might get me a little bit more enthusiastic about it. :D

Many of the postive reviews of Casino Royale stated that Daniel Craig was not really playing James Bond in the movie.

Yes a bit of a contrdiction from the critics, well i guess if you like Bond being blonde, uncouth, craggy faced, humourless built like a gorilla and possesing the same intelligence then good look to them i say. Just dont call him Bond :D

"Does not look the part" for me.

I could live with all those changes - but to then cast Daniel Craig as the young Bond? Why not a young actor, or even a Bond like actor?
