Okay, take all the pre-release hype with huge doses of NaCl. But that is the hype, that Daniel Craig, playing James Bond in Casino Royale, is the only one of six Bond actors to give Connery a real run for his money. The main thing going for him, says This Is London, is that ” he is the first Bond since Connery to exude an air of menace. He’s also funnier than Roger Moore, and more of a credibly ruthless womaniser than Pierce Brosnan.”
Well, they have a point there. Beginning with Connery’s immediate successor, the flash-and-gone George Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Bond actors have all been pretty boys. That didn’t quite apply to Connery and for sure doesn’t apply to Craig, whose looks are far from Hollywood classic.
Casino Royale premiers in general release today. The Missus and I plan to see it tonight. I’ll post a review after.
