Sean Connery was James Bond, none better. I never liked Pierce Bronson as Bond and thought Roger Moore was a joke, so yes, I like Craig and thought the first 2 where good but agree, too much special effects and violence.
I havent seen Skyfall yet, was going to go one weekend to see that and the Hobbit, but then Sandy Hook happened and wasnt ready to see any violence on the screen....will probaby rent the DVD this week and watch it at home.
