Well of course he is. The only person who played bond as well was Connery. (Well accordingly with the novels)
So what is "so sad"?

This is so sad. I liked Craig alot as the new bond. I was hoping to see him in more bond films because after Casino Royal i was astonished.
Hmm I think Craig will be in more bond films in the neer future and a plus is he looks younger than his real age.Sanji HimuraMichael G. Wilson recently spoke out on the subject. If he had his way, Craig would break Roger Moore's record of 7 Bond films. That means, if finances at MGM are sorted for the next 20 or so years, and a film is out every 2 years on schedule, his record breaking eighth film would be out in 2022 at 48? Moore was 58 when his last Bond film, A View to a Kill, was released in 1983, and some view, including myself, that Timothy Dalton should have played Bond in that film because of Moore's age.
But this brings up a more interesting question. How old is too old to play James Bond? Craig is pushing 40 now, so I expect two or three more films out of him before I consider him too old for the part.

You read it right - you just missed the timestamp on the post. GT Pro posted it on July 8, 2010, back when MGM was in serious financial trouble and all of their upcoming projects were put on hiatus. Those problems have long since been sorted out, and BOND 23 - now officially known as SKYFALL - is already three months into shooting. It will be released in the UK on October 26 this year, and in the US some time around November 9.What I meant by so "sad" is that its gonna be longer till the next bond film comes out. Well at least thats what the first post in this thread sums up to say unless i read wrong...) ;

Lazenby was horrible. He couldn't act, had no charisma, and sucked the life out of everyone around him. He wasn't James Bond. He was a pansy.

That has to be the worst moment in the series' history - even worse than the CGI Bond in DIE ANOTHER DAY. When Lazenby says it, he acknowledge that he is not James Bond ... which is made worse by the way the the premise of ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (Bond falling in love and being willing to retire) needed an established actor in the role (Daniel Craig got away with it because he's a good actor and CASINO ROYALE is an origin story).This never happened to the other guy.

F1 fanLazenby is worth a nod too. He was great.

Anyway, filming of SKYFALL is in Shanghai this week. Apparently they're shooting a car chase on a neon-lit highway:
Neon seems to be something of a theme in Shanghai.
(Bond falling in love and being willing to retire) needed an established actor in the role (Daniel Craig got away with it because he's a good actor and CASINO ROYALE is an origin story).
Oh, he did. I'm just saying that Craig could sell the concept of Bond falling in love because CASINO ROYALE was treated as an origin story. Bond was still a little wet behind the ears. But George Lazenby was playing the same character that had been in five films prior to ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, and so the character was already very well-established. And although Bond does fall in love with Tracy and gets married in the novel, that wasn't enough to sustain the character while Lazenby was playing the part. ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE needed an actor who was established in the role - someone like Sean Connery (or, at the very least, a George Lazenby who was in his second or third film).While I will admit that I haven't read Casino Royale in a while, my best recollection is that Bond did genuinly fall in love with Vesper, and she betrayed him, causing him to turn cold.
In future, I would suggest going somewhere other than MI6 for Bond-related news. Try CommanderBond.net instead. Pretty much anything related to Bond will be posted there first, even if you do need to sift through the forums. MI6 just repost everything that gets posted on CBn, usually without credit (and if you do repost something their site without crediting them, they get very upset).According to MI6-HQ.com
