Personally, Craig drew me into the Bond franchise. I have seen most of the Connery movies, which are classics (IMHO), but the Brosnan movies were to the point where they were ridiculous.
Craig's Bond is harder, grittier, which I like, similar to what was done with the Bale Batman flicks.

I'll have to agree here. Craig brought me back into the Bond series. It was getting progressively boring with the Bonds being vanilla or pedestrian to me. Now dont get me wrong it worked and that was the classic bond...suave, charming, brunette, clean cut with an average build. Craig comes in blonde, blue eyed, gritty and rough with an impressive physique. I want to say that Craig's Bond is more intense especially hand to hand.
Look at the successful musicians out there, most of them had to make a change to their music to continue to survive in the industry.
How can anyone say that.
Yes! I even dare to say it's a darn near perfect Bond movie period. It's just held back by a god awful score.Out of Brosnan's run, Goldeneye was by far the best.
Speaking of, what is everyone's least favorite Bond flick?
License to Kill has to be up there.
Under the bottom, about 100 ft under the ground,....nope. Can't even say it. Craig is not Bond in any way shape or form. I like him, enjoy him in other stuff but there is nothing Bond about him.
Sorry
I'm going to go ahead and assume you're never actually read any of Ian Fleming's Bond novels.
Goldeneye was great, and is still to this day one of my favorite Bond films. Every other Brosnan Bond film was complete crap, and "Die Another Day" was by far the worst of them. I think the reason for all the DAD hate is that it's truly just an awful, horrible movie. The scene with the invisible car was bad enough, then they threw in the whole thing with Bond outrunning the giant sunbeam that was being shot from a satelite IN SPACE. At that point, I felt more like I was watching a crappy straight-to-DVD Spy Kids sequel.
As for my favorite Bond film? Probably You Only Live Twice, maybe Dr. No. I really love Live and Let Die too. And hey! I liked Moonraker! But I've always had a soft spot for Jaws.
