Craig does an excellent job. Combines the toughness with the savior faire/sexy testosterone laden elegance. Moore and Brosnan had the latter, but not the toughness. Too pretty. Connery of course had all of it. In every movie I saw him in. A dudes dude. And a lady’s man at the same time. Not many can pull that off.
What I love about the Bond series is it’s tongue in cheekiness. Raised to its highest level in Never Say Never Again, when Connery pours a beaker of Bond piss in the eyes of an enemy who then shrieks in agony as it burns like acid. Hilarious.
The problem with Craig is that he hates the role. The new one (now postponed) was going to be his last one, and he openly spoke about not wanting to do it (he was under contract).
My vote for the next bond goes to Idris Elba. Anyone who can play a drug lord in Baltimore and an out of control detective inspector in London can act.
