Excellent. I had no doubt that Daniel Craig would be great as 007, he's a great serious actor and was fantastic in Layer Cake. This Bond takes the character to a more straight approach rather than the kind of goofy role that Brosnan's Bond had become (Pierce did great as Bond, but the scripts turned to crap). I'm looking forward to further 007 adventures with Mr. Craig.
