I'm not saying Craig isn't great. I'm just saying it's interesting....

that is weird - because Flemming didnt portray Bond that way in the books ...
he was written as cruel, not an attractive man .. and definately brutal.

weird how Flemming would write him one way but want to see him on film another ..
