I remember the outcry when Craig was first announced as Bond. But he proved everyone wrong with his great portrayal. Nice to see some behind the scenes footage of some of his experiences, the stunts and recounting his movies. I really liked his comment about him being related and close to films like Dr No and Live and Let Die. Craig has joined a small elite group of actors who have carried such a great mantle of a timeless character. I am grateful to Craig for helping propel the franchise to the very top in the 21st century and hit some home runs for Bond fans.

The media is generally quick to write people off, to say that XYZ would fail without consideration for the person on the receiving end, even if it's James Bond himself, LOL. Something that all of us can certainly work on.

This is a 45 min doc about Daniel Craig's journey from being picked to play Bond to wrapping up the latest movie, No Time To Die. I enjoyed watching this, wish they had more.

I had no idea that this dude received so much hate and backlash, especially from the English media. Daniel talks about all of that, how this changed, and how he dealt with being a nobody to being Bond overnight, some of the processes that went into making these movies, never-before-seen clips, etc.

Regardless of if he's your Bond guy or not, I would recommend that you check it out. I feel like we tend to appreciate a movie better when there's some behind the scenes insight on the hard work that went into the movie and this will certainly help you look at his Bond movies differently and gear you up for the next one. I'll surely be going a rerun of everything from Casino to Spectre before No Time To Die.

I really enjoyed watching this documentary, loved the narrative. Nice tribute to the whole James Bond, and yes Daniel did a good job portraying JB especially in the last 3 movies.

Being James Bond: The Daniel Craig Story earns a 6/10 for its interesting behind-the-scenes glimpse into Daniel Craig's tenure as James Bond. While the documentary provides a fascinating look at his journey, it doesn't quite hit the mark of being truly impressive.

The film is engaging for fans interested in the making of the iconic Bond films and Craig's interpretation of the character. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs he faced in bringing a new depth to the role. However, despite these intriguing elements, the documentary lacks a certain wow factor that elevates it beyond being just a behind-the-scenes feature.

One of the highlights is the intimate and candid moments with Craig, shedding light on his personal experiences and thoughts on playing such a legendary character. These insights add a humanizing touch to the Bond persona, which is compelling for viewers.

However, the documentary could have delved deeper into the impact and significance of Craig's portrayal on the Bond legacy. While it's enjoyable to see the backstage aspects and Craig's reflections, the documentary misses an opportunity to explore more profound themes and implications.

In conclusion, Being James Bond: The Daniel Craig Story is a decent watch for those interested in the actor's journey as James Bond. It's insightful in parts but overall lacks the depth and impact to make it a standout documentary, hence the 6/10 rating.

It's incredibly satisfying to reflect the longest running Bond, after all this time, and to see his first screen test and his very last day on set for the upcoming 'No Time To Die'. As a Bond fan this is a true treat and I hope it even comes as a feature in home video releases. What a legacy, Mr. Craig: you can walk away confidently happy now.

I don't understand why in the hell people love this guy so much, this ultraviolence horrific mutilation of humanity is not what James bond was about neither in the past movies nor the series of books that were written by Fleming. It's just a love affair with mutilation of humanity of a human being. I can't stand watching any of his movies and for years I've only watched one of all of them and he made the other ones I had no interest in if I wanna watch this type of ultra violence stuff I watch Japanese typical yakuza movies not this garbage. I was a fan from the very beginning of the Fleming series of James Bond. But when this guy became the bond and I said hell and then I realize the ultraviolence these days. I'm so happy this guy is gone in a new James Bond is in the coming but for this era of James Bond rest in peace forever and you may you never show up again.

Damn this was so damn good. He is my favorite Bond no doubt. And now the wait for No Time To Die.

With the new film right round the corner, this is a perfect watch to get you in the mood for It. Daniel talks about his time being Bond and we get to see some behind the scenes footage, which was lovely to see. I for one can't wait for the new film! It will be strange to see another person in the role!!

I can't believe that I cried hard at the end... Can you imagine dealing with all that horrible critics and comments and so on and stand up straight and not letting affect you mentally and your work while filming and be able to deliver that kind of performance...hats off!

Such an emotional wrap!!... SO inspiring to me as an actor. Thanks!!.

(I just would have waited 3 more beats at the end before jumping so hard to the Bond theme though. It felt like a coitus interruptus.)

Being James Bond is a nice little feature documentary that sheds light on Daniel Craig's tenure as James Bond. I am personally a big fan of Craig as I think he is the best Bond. Not the most iconic or historic, but arguably Best Bond, especially because he brings something completely new, more down-to-earth and more serious to the table. The documentary follows all the film's productions, as well as the pressure placed on an actor to play James Bond.

The documentary gets a little too melancholy in the end, just as I'm also a little sad about its spoiling of the last scene of the latest movie. What the documentary does really well is the inside information we get from producer Barbara Broccoli, producer Michael G. Wilson and Daniel Craig.

Daniel was Bond! All the Bond actors were great, each handled what was given to them and in the TIME it was done. For me, I enjoyed his Bond and all his Bond movies being serious, it put me back into the time first reading Flemming's books. And in my opinion, Daniel is the best Bond. I rated this on what it was, "Being James Bond". I would give tens to clips, behind the scenes and bloopers, I enjoy Bond from my first ever reading one of the books, the first Bond movie watched, out of order, no video stores yet, skipped school and went to the movie. Love the block of movies with Daniel C., and all the other actors in them. An outstanding run!

I was excited when I got to know about this documentary and I wanted it to be a little longer and the fact that this documentary covers all of the things that have happened in the past only makes me love Daniel Craig's bond more and it really had an impact on the whole bond persona, I honestly think that Craig's bond has more feelings than any other bonds it's like other Bonds are happy to kill and they enjoy it but the depth of Craig's bond is that he does not like it and every time he kills someone he knows it's bad it only gives more depth to the character and the bathroom scene in Casino Royale shows us exactly that he knows how it feels and the fact that Daniel Craig plays Bond is just awesome and I love him for making James Bond look so good doing all the action... What matters is that he enjoyed the role and we enjoyed him play that role and I am grateful that Daniel Craig made me experience the best Bond! And making any movie takes a lot of effort, time, and money it requires patience and dedication you can't just say Quantum of Solace is bad, they tried Casino Royale pushed the standard high that no movie could match it...

This is one of my favorite Documentaries on the James Bond series and I love it and I love showing some the behind the scenes of all of Daniel Craig films as James Bond and I love this also as an way to show Daniel Craig final chapter as James Bond before No Time To Die (2021)

Before you get a chance to see No Time to Die you will probably want to watch Daniel Craig's Bond story, which is nicely told with inside details especially of interest for the viewers who witnessed this Bond transition.

My only complaint was missing interviews/ stories from some of the key cast members.
