Craig brings grittiness to the series and stamps the character in his own unique way.

I thought he'd be a great Bond and could elevate this mini-genre back to cinematic respectability.

When word got out that Craig would be the next Bond, a collective scream came from those that wanted their Bonds pretty and bland. Craig in a small movie called 'Layer Cake' and he impressed me. 'Casino Royale' introduces a new Bond, Daniel Craig. It fostered an industry that shows no signs of dying even though it had evolved into nothing more than gadgets, gags and pretty boy actors. The franchise of James Bond movies has been relatively dormant since the days that Connery first brought the Ian Fleming character to the big screen.
