They seem to pick the wrong guy every other time. Whether or not the actor or the movies are any good, it's a question of getting somebody that the fans will accept. They're split down the middle on this guy. Everybody loved Connery, Moore and Brosnan from the start. Not the case for Lazenby, Dalton or now Craig.

My bet: Casino Royale will be great. Craig may even capture the spirit of Fleming's Bond as Dalton did. And the numbers will tank because the moviegoing public doesn't give a rat's ass about Fleming's bond. They love superficial fluff like TWINE and Die Another Day, as the box office clearly shows.
