Great - licence to thrill!

13.26%


Double-0-awful

Let's wait and see

47.05%

It just occured to me how much he looks like the James Bond of the CBN banner. So,shame on all the naysayers! We live in such a shallow world. *sigh*

Kids today!

They just don't know what's good for them...

[Felix_Leiter]

Isn't that poll stating that almost half of them are waiting to reserve judgement? They didn't exactly overwhelmingly say 'no'.

Well it's like I've said. Either Craig is going to be awesome, or CR will be a total bomb and they'll have to beg for Brosnan to come back. I remember people wanted to reject Michael Keaton as Batman too until they saw him the role. Then they couldn't imagine the films without him.

All I can say is this: if they really found a Bond today's kids don't like that much, then maybe they'll get it right this time.

So you've managed to interpret a poll in which the majority say they'll reserve judgement as the majority saying he's 'double 0 awful'? Didn't do statistics at school, then?

yeah what is negative about this poll? It is negative because you want it negative. I see that 39.7% saying double oh awful but 13.26% said yeah licensed to thrill while another 47.05% are saying wait and see add the 13.26% to the 47.05% and you get 60.31% who have said the like him or are going to wait and see (key word being see). A good review from Ebert and Roper and a great rotten tomatoes score and a good trailer couple with more solid reviews from the lesser known critics add in the TRUE BOND FANS who are going to see a Bond movie regardless and I think the movie will be number one at the box office for the week. P.S. most of the polls children adults whatever are reflecting the "I don't care" point but people only want to point to the negatives no one wants to point that most appear to be waiting before passing judgement.

Children eh?

I have four. Horrible things. If you asked them "Do you like eating bogies?" many would respond positively.

(Actually, they can be quite tasty; bogies, that is, not children)

I'm sorry, we have to listen to children now? What next - Amish are anti-Craig? Flourescent highlighter pens say "Isn't he deformed?"

If the antis are resorting to this, I fear for them - not him.

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.

...and that was Socrates, and I'm not talking about the footballer.

Excellent point. I don't agree, in this particular case, but, as an idea, excellent point.

[Shrublands]

Three times more say he is awful than those who say he is great!

If that is quite good, I'd hate to see a bad poll!

The problem with this argument is easy to spot,

I was 7 years old when I went to the cinema with my gran to watch The Living Daylights. Only when I actually got in the cinema did I realise Roger Moore had been ousted, Moore being that childhood hero of mine who up until that point had been Bond in just about all the VHS home videos I had ever seen.

I was too young to understand why Moore HAD to eventually be dropped, and as a result I felt some childhood anger towards the decision. Only when I matured and reached about 15 in the mid-1990's did I realise....

1)The Bond actor HAS to change every now and then
2)Just how good Timothy Dalton was in that film I saw as a delayed 7th birthday present.

Kids are stubborn. They'll come around.

[Qwerty]

? The children say "Let's wait and see" as opposed to a flat out "No", seems to be the most intelligent way to go about it in my opinion.

Can't argue there. Does the term "grasping at straws" ring a bell? Yeesh!

Were these they same kids that enjoyed DAD? If it is I don't really care what they say

[Johnboy007]

Well, I'm pretty sure the next several films aren't geared towards children. If anything, the results of this poll are the most promising sign yet.

Well I guess I'm one of those "kids" too, eh?
I liked DAD and I'm anti-Craig and I'm 17 dammit :-) but this argument is quite childish, if you'll forgive the pun

I wasn't offended at all. I was just showing that no matter what you're for or against, using a children's poll to indicate the response of the younger generation to danny craig is quite childish, once again begging you to excuse the pun........ :-)

Children are always taught to say No to strangers!

[Alex Zamudio]

Wait!!! the poll is saying that they rather wait and see, why is the description of this thread stating otherwise??

We need to chill out and enjoy all this, we are fortunate we live in times new 007 movies are produced, so reserve judgment till release, if the movie sucks I promise I won't defend CR, (I might Defend Craig though! )


Regards.

[B5Erik]

What was the age group of these kids? 8-10? 10-12? 12-16?

It is interesting, though, that the negatives on Craig were three times larger than the positives.

(I tend to think the "wait and see" group was really the, "I don't care," group.)

Usually kids' opinions reflect that of their parents (until they get to be teenagers), so this may be a bad sign - or it may just be a crock. We'll find out more in the months to come.

i agree, less than 4 out of 10 children dont like the pick, and probablly mainly because he isnt pierce brosnan, whereas half of the kids said "wait and see." i dont see this as bad news at all.... its not great news, but its about expected...
