As for me, it became much higher after I saw new trailer, which was amazing.

8-9 for me, looks great in the trailers, but I'm still not completely sold. X3 had great trailers.

 

[OddBob]

10, the most excited I've ever been for a Bond movie.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Can't wait for it!

The trailer did a lot for me. Before hand I thought the teaser was okay but made the movie look mediocre and between that and Craig I was like at a 4 maybe a 5 tops.

Then I saw the trailer, and it looks very good and a touch back to Connery-style (though I wish they had given Brosnan the same respect for a film before he left as he got that at the beginning of GE and the Cuba scenes in DAD and was quite good at it though).

However, Craig still hasn't convinced me. While the trailer looks awesome and I love his ruthless Bond, I still have to be convinced he can play charming which I did not see. So I'll put it at an 8 and wait to see what I hope is a good movie then.

Craig doesn't have a bond voice, he lacks the charisma which is integral to the notion of bond. This film just looks just like any other spy action flick.

Craig doesn't have a bond voice,

I think his voice is perhaps his best asset. It's perhaps the best voice we've had in the role yet. And what the heck is a "Bond voice" anyway? We've had a large variety in vocal sound throughout the franchise - how the heck is Craig's voice not suited for Bond in a way the others were?

This film just looks just like any other spy action flick.

Looked 100% like Bond to me. In what other spy franchise will you see Aston Martins, beautiful women in fancy dresses, bizarre villains, and casinos?

It's just things, it's not about character, and Craig's voice isn't smooth, his voice doesn't carry the same power as connery or even lazenby or dalton. He just looks like an action hero aswell, not like the sophisticate that bond is.

 

[Two-Face]

I thought Craig's voice was dull "Yes... Consibley." (spelling?) or "that hand... almost killed me..."

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

on this occasion i will disagree,

in this movie bond is straight out of the SAS or SBS i'm not sure which.. he is a Bad ass, pure and simple who become mouded into the bond we know. the latest Trailer showed both sides to his bond, the hard edged action hero and the soft heart he really does have.

everything i am, what ever is left of me.. i'm yours.

that is smooth!

 

[Agentsands77]

I thought Craig's voice was dull "Yes... Consibley." (spelling?) or "that hand... almost killed me..."

The line is, "Yes, considerably."

"You noticed." "Get the girl out!" "Well we wouldn't want that, would we?" "That last hand... nearly killed me..."

I love it. It's deep, smooth, striking, and powerful. I'm absolutely adoring his subtle, underplayed delivery. Bond isn't the kind of man to put on a show for other people to enjoy. I can't imagine a better Bond voice.

Neither (check the dossier on the official site - the "recently taken from the SAS" thing was in earlier drafts but ultimately dropped). In this film, Bond has just been promoted to Double-O status, after serving with MI6 for eight years previously in various roles, and then in the Royal Navy before that. His history in this film almost directly mirrors Fleming's original background for the character.

You don't need to imagine it, there's been 6 better ones already! (yeah, i'm including the old casino royale film!)

 

[Carmine Falcone]

"Get the girl out!"

I Love the delivery of that line.

 

[Spider-X]

i'll have to say that after seeing the latest trailer...my "hypeness" level shot up 2 points from 8 to 10...and fast!

can't. f#cking. wait!

 

[Crooklyn]

When Craig was first cast (or even when all the rumors were going around about the supposed candidates), my hypeness reached an all-time low for this franchise. I grew up with Brosnan, so naturally I favored him. But even I have to admit he was getting a lil' too old for the part.

I was all for a new Bond, but Craig didn't do much for me at first. Absolutely hated the idea. But then the set pics started popping up, I watched his interviews, and finally the teaser was released. I was hooked. More than ever (especially after the recent trailer) I'm looking forward to this movie. Craig has swayed me considerably, and while I still haven't seen the "suave" part of Bond too much, everything else is spot-on.

They did?

i haven't been to that site enough. i like the fact its closer to the book.. but i think they did mention something in Dr no.

m says "unless you want to go back on standard intelligence dutys?"

Bond : " no sir i would not"

 

[Agentsands77]

Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. I do think Craig has the *best* voice we've had for Bond yet, or at the very least it's tied with Connery. It's fantastic. Ever since he was cast, I'd been saying that, and now I really can't wait to hear him say the immortal line.

And Brosnan's voice was an all-time low for Bond's voice. Very high, rather than deep and commanding. Not to mention I didn't really like his accent. That's a super nitpick, but if we are comparing vocal qualities, I don't think Brosnan had a great voice for the role.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Connery IS bond, anyone else is gonna be substandard, but craig looks to be the worst so far, he doesn't look suave, he doesn't sound suave, he just looks and sounds like a two bit thug.

He looks to be pretty suave to me in those casino scenes - I love the way he walks into the Casino Royale. Pure Bondian attitude and elegance, but without expense of the toughness. And to be fair, the "suave" and "charming" scenes from CASINO ROYALE aren't even featured in the trailers (though, believe me, they're there in the script and have been filmed), so it's hard to say whether he pulls that aspect off or not.

It's clear he's got the brutality and coldness down pat. But can Craig be charming? I think so, and CASINO ROYALE certainly gives him a number of really terrific moments to show that aspect off.

 

[Cyrusbales]

i'll wait to see it

Agreed. Craig's voice is awesome and his subtle delivery of witticism is more than welcome. I still cringe at, "I though christmas only came once a year". All in all, Craig's voice is easily distinct and doesn't try to sound like actors before him.

I love Connery's Bond voice the most because there'd be times where he talked quite fst but with commanding force. Then there'd be times where he'd maintain that commanding tone but in a softer smoothe voice.

Oh yes and my level of happyness if off the friggin chart somewhere at 20 right now.
