Wow, they're exceptional shots of Craig and Green, really nice, and I've never seen them before. Almost like the holiay snaps we'd expect to see of Bond and Vesper if they'd stayed together under different circumstances...

And looking very suave on the sofa, that's a smart one.

I wouldn't argue with any of that, and, by the look of that blade, neither should Bond! :-)

Craig was dynamite in Skyfall. Definitely up there with Connery as one of the greats. An important part of Bond is presence, and Craig has that in spades. It’s going to be a sad day when he leaves. Hopefully after he’s done the two next films they throw a lot of cash at him.

For someone of his frame, you wouldn't expect a body like that under the tux anyday.

I think he's modelled his physique on mine...

I think the first one with him holding the mug was taken around the Casino Royale days, not sure about the second, but he looks good!

Here's some dramatic Daniel poses to appreciate....

I still remember Craig as the cocky bastard from Tomb Raider. I was always behind his casting, definitely one of, if not the best, James Bond.

Craig seems to be the first Bond that some would consider just as good if not better than Connery. Not sure if we can consider him better than Moore ;) I kid, I love Roger Moore.

 

For someone who grew up with Pierce Brosnan who was good but played it too safe, Craig really impressed me. I feel Skyfall is the first time you see his true interpretation of Bond since Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace portrayed him as an inexperienced 00 Agent, it seems like between QoS he did a few missions and learned some new things. I'd like to think GoldenEye was a good bridge between the two films.

Daniel Craig's style in Munich oddly enough reminded me just a shade of Roger Moore, I wouldn't mind a more flashily dressed Bond although I understand the more utilitarian approach Craig takes.  

 

I think his Skyfall wardrobe in general is underrated tho', he really packed a menace back into wearing leather gloves and carrying a shotgun.  Can't wait for more.

I am not sure if this is the best compliment but I often hear that Daniel Craig makes a convincing 007 because he actually looks like he could kill someone. He has that ruthlessness that his character is known for.

I'm not sure if this was before or after he was offered the role as Bond but I know he cited the secret service/special forces people he met during the making of Munich as a large part of his inspiration for how to approach the Bond character.  His physique certainly has more of the quality of someone who really looks like they could twist someone's head off rather than the Stallones and Stathams who look like the male equivalent of fake boobs.  :)

Also likely to catch the eyes of women he will seduce.

 

As said previously, it seems Brosnan fans hate on Craig for not being suave or have no humor. He actually has made me laugh more than Brosnan ever has though in his defense the lines he was given were terrible. I think Craig looks better in a tux and his poisture is amazing.

Daniel Craig's really, really funny when given the chance.  I think Bond humor can be a tough line to toe but it's certainly part of the series and always should be long as it's done right.  

 

One thing I like about his Bond is that he gets the fact that while women appreciate his physique they also are attracted to the fact that his brand of physicality also makes them feel safe, an attribute many action stars don't get, and it plays into the romantic/espionage theme of who to trust in Bond's world.   I think he's superior to Connery in that regard.  I think part of Brosnan's problem was that he knew he was far from the Connery Bond spectrum and as a result gave in to a sort of trendy hipness that looked dated two years later.  I don't think Daniel Craig will have that problem. He knows the correct way to wear a tux or pair of kaki slacks.  Probably the best dressed man in show business today.  Cary Grant would be proud.

Prior to Skyfall I would've agreed with you. I now believe GE:R and Blood Stone are non-canon and Craig's films are prequels to the others.

I know I love Daniel Craig in that movie! That was the only movie I had seen with Craig when they announced that he was going to be Bond and I was like okay, I can work with this.. xD

 

Here are some photos in the Tomb Raider film

I agree! I definitely like him clean shaven. Too much stubble and he looks a lot older and more creepy in my opinion especially from that shot.

I think it worked out as a man he felt was past his due until Silva help inject new life in him. I get the impression that Bond has seen and done a lot more since QoS.
