He didn't want to copy or replay some other actors, or combine somthing, he just made his own appearance and manifestation of James Bond. ('Do I look like I give a damn?') It was different from the very first movie in which he played the character James Bond. Daniel Craig's display of James Bond was different. Those rating it with 1 star or saying it wasn't good - probably didn't understand it or try too hard to compare it with other movies or the other actors. Watching a LotR extended edition would be described or felt long for me. It was long, but while watching it, it didn't feel long. For those saying the movie was too long, I would not say that at all. I saw all of them in the cinema, only for Casino Royale, I didn't have the opportunity. First of all, I loved all of the movies with Daniel Craig, some more, some less, but I wouldn't say that I didn't enjoy them.
