I disagree - he has a "little" charm, but he's more in line with what Ian Fleming wrote originally. The whole "blunt instrument" line that M uses was taken from his original notes.

I agree with your disagreement. I've read a few of the books and (other than the hair) Craig matches Fleming's printed-Bond very well.

I thought Casino Royale was much, much better than Quantum of Solace. I would like to see Craig in another one to see how they develop his character.
Some people think George Lazenby was the best Bond. :dizzy:

Didn't work for me. I just couldn't wrap my mind around Mr. Mom being Batman.

In the novels, James Bond was compared multiple times to Hoagy Carmichael, a 1930's Jazz musician who was known for his suave charm. He was definitely described as incredibly charming.
Fleming did say Bond had cold eyes and a scar on his cheek though, so Craig was closer in the looks dept than Pierce Brosnan.
