1) The "Bond Begins" concept. As long as they don't change his essential "Bondness," I could accept this.

2) Daniel Craig as Bond. On the fence: on the plus side, he looks tough; on the minus, he's not that sexy.

3) Winning the DB5 in a poker game. why not?

4) Replacing the baccaratt with poker. cards is cards.

5) 007 not wearing a tux in the movie. NO. See comment re: not sexy.

6) Not releasing a 007 film in 2007 (Marketing Dept, WTF are you smoking ?). their loss, but no big deal to me. Use it for the DVD campaign.

7) Craig lasting more than two films as 007 and therefore not being seen as a Timothy Lazenby, or indeed a George Dalton. depends on his performance here.

[Kara Milovy]

1) The "Bond Begins" concept. no

2) Daniel Craig as Bond. no (Subject to change)

3) Winning the DB5 in a poker game. Don't really care. It sounds stupid, but it might be well done.

4) Replacing the baccaratt with poker. no

5) 007 not wearing a tux in the movie. No, unless it's a very elegant suit

6) Not releasing a 007 film in 2007 They are dumb but it won't hurt the film

7) Craig lasting more than two films as 007 and therefore not being seen as a Timothy Lazenby, or indeed a George Dalton. Depends on how #2 turns out

[Boromir006]

1. Bond Begins... well, it could be well done but I just don't like the idea of Eon bowing to pressure to make Bond like other movies rather than setting the trend. And prequels are very tired.

2. Daniel Craig. Wasn't thrilled by the announcement but we're stuck with him so I'll give him a chance.

3. Winning the DB5 in a poker game is one of those dumb chintzy prequel jokes, like Indiana Jones developing all his personality traits in one fifteen minute train chase sequence. Besides, we know he didn't win it in a poker game, it was given to him by Q to replace his Bentley in Goldfinger.

4. Replacing baccarat with poker... again, this is part of this "following the trend" idea rather than setting it. Who knows, Casino Royale might have gotten an entire new generation hooked on baccarat. But I suppose since so much of the plot revolves around cards they wanted to pick a game they wouldn't have to spend a great deal of screen time explaining to the majority of the audience.

5. No tux - Not that big a deal. Bond never wore one in either You Only Live Twice or Live and Let Die. It's not a deal-breaker.

6. No 007 in 2007 - yeah, well Sony's marketing people probably aren't thrilled. If the movie does well though, expect them to crank one out in a hurry for next year. There was a rumor that a script was already being tailored for Craig's second Bond adventure.

7. The length of Craig's tenure - well, only the audience gets to decide whether he's a Lazenby or a Moore. Remains to be seen.

[BeauButabi]

1) The "Bond Begins" concept. No.

2) Daniel Craig as Bond. Yes!

3) Winning the DB5 in a poker game. No.

4) Replacing the baccaratt with poker. NOOOOO!

5) 007 not wearing a tux in the movie. Really don't care.

6) Not releasing a 007 film in 2007 (Marketing Dept, WTF are you smoking ?). I personally never saw whats so great about that. Don't care.

7) Craig lasting more than two films as 007 and therefore not being seen as a Timothy Lazenby, or indeed a George Dalton. I'd love for him to do at least three, provided I like his performance, and judging from his other movies I think I'll dig his Bond.

[UNCLEagent]

1) The "Bond Begins" concept. NO

2) Daniel Craig as Bond. YES

I just don't know. All we can do is wait and see, but it sure doesn't sound like Bond. :(

Who knows...

[Martini97]

1) The "Bond Begins" concept. No

2) Daniel Craig as Bond. At first No, now I have to see for myself.

3) Winning the DB5 in a poker game. No - should be a bentley (racing green)

4) Replacing the baccaratt with poker. Wouldn't make a difference to me

5) 007 not wearing a tux in the movie. Yes

6) Not releasing a 007 film in 2007 (Marketing Dept, WTF are you smoking ?). Son locos. estaba esperando por tres an~os! Claro que si- NO! - But I have to say a crafty move if they don't want to go head to head w/ MI3 which is this year.

7) Craig lasting more than two films as 007 and therefore not being seen as a Timothy Lazenby, or indeed a George Dalton. Possibly
