I had my doubts when he was cast. I cringed when I heard the BULL**** LIES that he couldn't drive stick, didn't like guns and lost 3 teeths in a scene fight (he actually didn't lose a single tooth.....****in aye, huh?) and despite all the bull**** the ****ing bull****....."too blonde, too blue eyed, too short, not tough enough".....bull****. All of it was bull****. This guy had to take a lot of crap, and he still kicked ass and rocked.
So, I gave him a chance.....waited until the movie to decide. And, I'm happy I did. Craig deserved the role, and I think he has earned the 007 mantle. He managed to impress even though everyone and they're mother were out to get him b/c we were all hung up on Brosnan.
He was fantastic. And, to be honest....coming from a Brosnan fan....I think he was better than Brosnan.
So, yeah....I had my doubts. But, I never tossed him under the bus....and I'm happy I didn't b/c now I don't have to swallow my words or pride over it. I had my doubts, but Craig managed to win me over.
