CR: "blunt instrument", Bond 22: "precise instrument"?

I just can't wait for that character progression, Craig is going to be amazing at finally settling in the mold which will add depth and weight as it's been said here many times before.

I find the Bond that has a couple of rough edges and can make mistakes more interesting.

Indeed. I'd be very disappointed if they gave us the Bond "we all know and love" so soon, I hope they wait until at least Bond 23 to make Bond the smooth character he is in the earlier films. Besides, I'm sure Craig wants more interesting scripts to play, to give him a "regular" Bond script so soon would be disappointing.

Agreed. I'd like to see Craig continue his portrayal of Bond from CR on into Bond 22. I thought that he was great, and I don't think that they need to make any major changes. Maybe they could make Bond a little bit more smooth, but I thought it was great the way it was.

There is no precision here.
He's flawed, but he always should be in my opinion. That's life. When your badass secret agent becomes flawless things get a little boring. There are lessons to always be learned and even when it has been covered and Bond should know better, it doesn't mean he can't fall for it all over again. Love, for instance. In his line of work, it's just not all that possible and Vesper kind of taught him that lesson yet he fell for it again a number of times, most notably and tragically with Tracy. That's an interesting thought to be honest, especially when you think about Casino Royale (the movie) when he discusses leaving the service to take or retain whatever piece of his soul he had left. I hate to be rather melodramatic (although that may not be the right word), but perhaps Bond is looking to be saved, which is why he falls for that trap over and over, but I digress.

that in bond 22 he is still sometimes too headstrong or at least that's the idea.
the article in which he says this is on the main page[font=Arial]

A career change from commando to spy is undoubtably going to have a learning curve. As a long-time Bondonian, I'm really going to enjoy this era of the franchise.

I'm much more interested in Bond22 having a decent plot. Although it certainly worked as a film, CR was more about the Bond character than the storyline. The same could almost be said about Dr No. Now if FRWL focused slightly less on Connery and more on producing the most awesome spy story ever seen on screen, I hope something similar will happen for Craig's 2nd film. We've had a Craig experience that we'll never forget. Now let's have a story we'll never forget that stars Craig as Bond.

I much prefer the original Bond character (ie the movies 1962-1969), than the travesty it became for three decades. Where Bond could have been played by anyone in a tux, and the movie have been still the same.
It's Saltzman who said Bond is like Tarzan, no one cares, about who plays him. He was dead wrong. Where is Tarzan now ?

They should continue the headstrong Bond as to give him the motivation and making mistakes is human. In Thunderball Bond drops his gun on Largo's rooftop losing his weapon and alerting him to his position. In later movies we never saw any mistake. It puts Bond in peril which I think is essential and he must use brute force to get his way out of danger.
