Susan, can't wait to see this new Bond. Daniel Craig was terrific in "Munich" in a quiet role, and he was the ONLY good thing in "Infamous," where he played Perry Smith. In fact, Craig's Perry Smith was better than Clifton Collins, Jr. who played Perry Smith in the awesome "Capote." Collins was good, but Craig brought a sexy menace to Smith in "Infamous." I suspect his Bond is infused with a fabulously sexy menace.
Hey girlfriend!
I agree about Craig in Munich. He was wonderful. What I've enjoyed about his acting roles is that he seamlessly becomes the character and you totally forget that you're watching Daniel Craig. Not that I don't enjoy watching Daniel Craig, mind you! (see below) :p

Daniel Craig has been excellent in every movie I have seen (ie: LayerCake, Munich) and he is every bit James Bond, certainly more so than anyone since Connery. The scene when Bond steps out of the ocean brought a gasp from my wife...I think she will see another Bond film after this.
Not to rub it in, but....

I saw this last night. I thought it was awesome. But then I "figured it out," and realized the Mr Bond HAD NOT figured it out. Then he "dove in" anyway. I also didn't like the introduction of a brand new character for the very last scene.
Other than those ..... very good.
The new Bond is a BLEEDER! :p

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

He was introduced in the first ten minutes of the film if you were watching carefully.
I liked it. Craig did a great job, and the script was well done, however it did have an odd structure to it (which is not bad), but agree that the last scene felt a scene too far. The whole audience seemed to sigh in frustration, "another one?"
And I concur with Jim, Bond bleeds, bleeding is good!!!
