The Craig films to me are just a different formula of Bond. Not as memorable as the films that shocked me as a kid in a sense, (Esprit Submarine, Pussy Galore.. lol) but I really love the violent, dark and brooding nature of Craigs portrayal. The ending of Casino Royale was phenomenal. After seeing that for the first time I knew whatever followed would not disappoint. And although the story and plots of the following films were sometimes blah, his coldness and the action scenes that were possible because of it more than made up for it IMO... He's a f'ed up dude. He found the love of his life in the first movie and lost her.. That rage has fueled him ever since. He tries to cope with it by being witty and funny sometimes and sleeping with as many other women as he can, but that memory of what he lost still haunts him... Not to dive into the psychology of his Bond, but this is what I got from it and I feel that the producers of this series of films did a much better job with an origin for the character.
