However critics and audience raved over his performance, equating it to that of many people's favourite Bond, Sean Connery. Craig's 007 has been described as mysterious, charming, vulnerable and tough as hell, while his six pack, emerging from the water above a skimpy pair of trunks, had numerous fans swooning in their seats.
