[@benjaminbertrand1259]

awww. what a nice interviewer. you can see daniel is relieved to be speaking with someone who isnt too prying, while being excited about the actual film. refreshing.

[@Aristocratic13]

Yeah, he seems "blahh" a lot lately

[@VanLupen]

+C. J. Bailey he has been doing it for 10 years I unrerstand.

[@MrKC23]

Did you know that "Daniel" means "GOD is my Judge". One day, we will all die, and meet the Holy Judge of the Universe, Jesus Christ. Christianity has bad news and good news. But first the bad news Tell me, is sex before marriage wrong? Are pornography and masturbation wrong? Michael Jackson died. We will all die one day. Where are you going when you die? Are you 100% sure that you will go to heaven? Are you a good person? GOD sees everything. He knows your secrets. GOD also hears what comes from your mouth. "But I tell you, on the day of judgment people will have to give an accounting for every careless or useless word they speak." (Matthew 12:36.) Lying is wrong. Masturbation is wrong. Pornography is wrong. Heterosexual sex before marriage is wrong is also wrong. Homosexuality/Lesbianism is wrong. Jesus summed up the evilness of our hearts in this way: For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20These are what defile a person. (Matt 15.19-20) If you have committed fornication (and I have myself), or broken any of the 10 Commandments, then you’re guilty of breaking GOD’s Law, and therefore we all deserve conscious hell fire forever (like the rest of mankind). But GOD loves you and sent his sinless, righteous Son to be tortured, and die on the Cross, taking the punishment for sinners. 3 days later, Jesus rose from the grave. JESUS IS GOD! You MUST turn from your sins (stop practicing sin), and obey Jesus, and love him with all your soul, heart, mind and strength. Be reconciled with Christ! “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; 7let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isa 55) He calls on the name of the LORD will be saved. (Romans 10:13) If you became a Christian (i.e. obey and trust Jesus), you will receive 1. forgiveness of sins, your sins and guilt will be blotted out, 2. GOD himself will dwell inside you, transform you, speak to you through the Bible and GOD Almighty will live His life through you 3. God will remove your heart of stone and give you a new heart and a new spirit, with new desires. GOD will rejoice in doing you good. 4. your name will be written in the Lambs book of Life, 5. you will enter the new Earth, 6. and you will see GOD's face. 7. Being filled with the Spirit, you'll be filled with love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23) 8. GOD will live his holy and righteous life through you. Otherwise, you will be judged guilty, and tortured forever. This is true, whether you believe it or not. Your blood be on your own head. You’ve been lovingly warned. Now you have no excuse for your sin.

[@smellyderpface]

what a great interview! melissa looked so comfortable talking to daniel and vice versa

[@OsmanLiban]

Great interview. How they should be done

[@aisey100]

Nice interview. No stupid questions or trying to be clever and funny. No pathetic questions about pouting.

[@emibud1055]

Jesus I watched that interview and I literally had to leave the room! It was SO AWKWARD why would she ask that!!!

[@wmwilliam5527]

+Emily Budinger which one

[@emibud1055]

This Morning IT WAS SO AWKWARD just type in 'awkward Daniel Craig interview' and cry yourself to sleep! 😱

[@aisey100]

+Cryer24597 Just keep taking your medication and move along.

[@aisey100]

+Cryer24597 I really honestly couldn't care less.

[@ssu3936]

I'm on a Melissa Nathoo interview marathon right now and she's been amazing and natural in every single one. Every single person she's interviewed seem to be a lot more relaxed across from her. I hope she does a lot more interviews.

[@joeywildman1100]

I like the interviewer she seems so nice and polite :)

[@RGK93]

This is the first interview i see where the interviewer is not harassing him with "Are you going to do another Bond movie?" They both seem commfortable.

[@mysteryofthesea1517]

These two shared some great chemistry, Daniel Craig seemed to be genuinely enjoying her company. Usually in these press junket's you can tell the interviewee is bored out of their mind, and simply going through the motions. But here, "Bond" really seemed to have a wee twinkle in his eye for this girl! ❤ _[Edit] : I just subscribed to this channel, based solely off the quality and professionalism of this interviewer, so please utilize her more. I will be watching more of your interviews over the coming days._

[@LaurenOrion]

She's such a wonderful interviewer

[@NatS3703]

What a genuine and polite interview :) some interviewers just try get the person saying something they can slander or pick apart but this was just nice :)

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Spectre was a great Bond film, definitely one of the most rewatchable in the entire franchise. I'm sad to see Craig go. The fight scene on the train because Craig and Bautista was one of the best fight scenes of all time, and the opening sequence too.

[@tangomango1376]

Facts, I don't understand why it's so hated? I love it and it's definitely one of the top 10 bond films.

[@carlosalegria4776]

Daniel looked older in Skyfall then in Spectre! the man looks badass!

[@Liamleddy89]

because He's got makeup

[@SkiDaBird]

+Liam Leddy And?

[@carlosalegria4776]

Liam Leddy He wears make up in all the movies, he still looks younger then before.

[@elamplough1]

+Carlos Alegría In Skyfall I guess 007 is kind of having a midlife crisis so feels older (hence why Craig looks older). He's still a fit James Bond though.

[@Liamleddy89]

I feel Craig could do one more bond movie however he's is 47.Oh well guess we all gotta wait for 3 or 5 years for a new Bond movie and actor.

[@Agent1W]

Mr. Hinx made me think of Oddjob, which that's a credit to Dave Bautista's performance.

[@Aristocratic13]

Or JAWS

[@TheDreamer452]

+DJ Moon Knight id say more oddjob.

[@Aristocratic13]

True

[@Agent1W]

Well, we know Jaws has a heart and is really a nice guy. I can't really say the same for Mr. Hinx. *"Well, here's to us."*

[@stalk8r]

+Agent1W Yup. In fact, the entire Spectre really want back to the old school Bond atmosphere. You had the diabolical villain with ridiculous base, you had the over the top action scenes, you had the unstoppable henchman, you had the gadget filled car. I really liked this film.

[@toodlypip77]

What a lovely interview 👍🏼

[@karanthesmashing]

I am awestruck by the way he composes his calm

[@lifexobservatory6541]

we don't want you to leave!!!!!

[@jakefarronmerlin7963]

refreshing spectre interview stoked to watch it, internet has it on lockdown as far as i can tell.

[@DarthXboxian]

What an incredible interviewer! Definitely subscribing. Also a huge fan of Bond!

[@yeonungkim8212]

seems like I'm not the only one who loves the interviewer!

[@wompevents]

All the comments on here are spot-on, great interviewer!

[@GeorgeBack02]

Very nice interview. And a perfect movie.

[@john-007files5]

agree, george :)

[@Noah-Lach]

Daniel Craig usually doesn't hide how bored these interviews make him... nice to see someone who asks good questions and actually get him somewhat excited.

[@vintageb8]

Casino Royale was the best Bond movie

[@demolisher7778]

He's a good bond I mean honestly though

[@benceszolnoki2411]

I am going to miss him as Bond 😢 i remember first bond poster with him in Casino Royale. Year after Pierce Brosnan last bond 😢

[@guileniam]

Love her eyes, summing about them

[@citrus_studios_]

I love this man so much. He's so badass in the movie. A VERY great actor, perfect for the part.

[@eaglerabbit8922]

That interviewer is so pretty :O

[@piccolo56000]

+eaglerabbit89 and smart

[@danskyl7279]

She's a Bond girl.

[@pro_master-en7dr]

What a nice interview :3 she is so nice! One of the most pleasant interviews I have ever seen. And Daniel

[@fanyadinya3869]

really love this interview... the interviewer girl is clever!

[@rainbow8569]

She always does the best interviews and also one more guy i saw on marvel interviews

[@Jojonny17]

This was a really great interview. I get where Daniel's coming from since this movie isn't even released (at least not in the States) and they're asking about doing another one and who's going to be next. Just enjoy the damn movie on our doorstep people. I would love to see him do another one, but just leave it at that

[@peterdeakin8106]

Dan, you are such a cool dude, but hand on heart, you have massively improved the Bond franchise during your tenure and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@imtheotherdave]

I've not seen Spectre yet but Skyfall was my favourite Bond film by far (and I don't say that lightly).

[@obscureentertainment8303]

Clive Owen, Henry Cavill and Michael Fassbender are my picks for the next Bond.

[@piercemchugh4509]

I liked this movie. It was a nice mixture between traditional and fresh Bond.

[@icedoatmilklatte910]

I REALLY hope he comes back for at least one more Bond movie. Awesome interview, by the way.

[@mick4dennis]

Finally a good interviewer!

[@007robotchicken]

That interviewer deserves a raise.

[@JulianVidal001]

'Too good to be green screen'? You've got to be kidding me. Did you see the building collapsing and how green screened that really looked? Other than that one comment she made, this interview is smooth and well executed.

[@marcusnorgren1958]

The long take opening sequence is pure movie making! Hoyte van Hoytema is a beast!

[@QuebecQueen]

Ughh, Daniel, my love!

[@benmatheson1189]

Melissa Nathoo she is a very good interviewer

[@meiltoo]

This is my fav bond and bond movie!!! Spretre is amazing! I it the day it debut

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

All of the Craig Bond entries are in themselves great. So - I hope the next installment is creative and just spectacular to end on!!!

[@justyna_ha]

Daniel is the best Bond ever. I love him ♥

[@jaqenhigar183]

He made bond more human outstanding performance as 007

[@baliharsingh548]

Bless you. Daniel. Ready anytime. U. K. Army. 20. 20. All World.

[@riparianlife97701]

The location scout/scouts did a fantastic job.

[@batmanfanizationreborn6055]

i loved spectre, christoph waltz and dave bautista could have been used more but in overall i think spectre is on par with skyfall. daniel craig embodies the best of roger moore, sean connery and pierce brosnan.

[@wonderlxand]

I just saw Spectre today, and it was great, but Skyfall is amazing. I really did like movie, especially the "race against the clock" scene at the end (if you've seen it, you'd know what I mean). But at the end of the day, it could never beat Skyfall.

[@claytonbaker49]

I don't know why people are saying it wasn't good! It was awesome! It reminded me of the old school bond with the Legendary Sean Connery!

[@saskruffriders8234]

+Clayton Baker Was it a good Bond? Yes. Was it great? No. it was TOO detailed. Too much on Moneypenny, Q and M. They need their 4 or 5 minutes then focus on the plot. Did we need to spend every three seconds of them on the train? Did Hinx need to have his 5 minutes of intro? i feel that they could've chopped 30 minutes from the movie and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference.

[@ardeleanalinalaura1770]

Daniel Craig, Don't worry , I loves the way you acted in all 007 movies! You really made me believe your carachter and elegance! Amazing!

[@MattPryze]

Perfect fucking interview!

[@Johntheninja100]

I think he should do two more!!!!

[@robertmahn]

This is not his last one right? After seeing Spectre I really want him to stick around now.

[@Herck]

talented interviewer

[@hayleyoneill2123]

So good

[@demolisher7778]

He's constantly adjusting his cufflinks XD

[@valeriobernardinis630]

its a cool interview and the movie is pretty nice

[@lorettalynndavis9695]

*FUCK YEAH, Can't wait to see it!!*

[@octavian212]

Now i know that the opening scene will be in Mexico City with that helicopter. I guess will be the best opening, better than Quantum of Solace(I hope).

[@morkyli123]

He has been the best Bond yet!

[@Jarbojar]

Why spectre have lower ratings than the predecessor, because our expectations is very high, Skyfall is to good to beat but Spectre is still one of the best bond film.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

you are correct, it is always human expectations that effect these ratings, people will always compare, and if it doesn't match Skyfall, then it's downgraded as if it's bad when it isn't, if Skyfall is a 10 and Spectre is a 7 or 8, then it's not bad at all

[@SkiDaBird]

+Izhar Abdilah I agree. I don't understand all the hate it's gotten, I even saw an article that said it was the worst in 30 years, which is a claim no one who has actually watched Die Another Day would make. I thought it was good, perhaps missing a few small pieces, but a good 007 movie nonetheless and one that I think will age really well due to all the great Bond references it has.

[@TheLennyLegoShow]

+Izhar Abdilah My theory is is that it started out GREAT (with that 6 minute uncut scene), then turned into a not as good climax. Maybe it wasn't that the climax was bad, but that the first half was so ridiculously great it just seemed bad.

[@zahirsookoor2673]

Just like avengers age of ultron...the first was just too hard to beat and our expectations got the better of us! Still a "good" movie though

[@jexonesw2062]

+Izhar Abdilah Sorry to say that but in my opinion skyfall was bad, there was not enough action, and there was not the modern side like in Casino Royal, it was like the old james bond and i really don't like... Sorry for my english lol

[@richardshears6435]

Daniel's a genuine gentleman isn't in it for the publicity and doesn't create extra attention to himself, hasn't affected his ego. He makes a great Bond, best since Connery.

[@bentrevino7887]

I hope as the movie ages people will see how good it really is.

[@tajo]

Never had a favorite actor... until now!

[@Brad_Pittstop]

I would love to see Tom Hardy as the next 007.

[@MrIchbins666]

agreed ; he is a razorblade

[@GodOfVictory501]

Jesus no. He's insufferable.

[@Greg_14826]

Hardy's too big

[@benjaminroe1375]

Michael Fassbender as Bond. Joaquin Phoenix as the villain. That could be legendary!!

[@kerstinevertsson5268]

I hope there is always going to be a bond movie in the making. that they never stop making bond movies Daniel is great and he has made one of my favorite bond movie but he can't go on forever. I wonder how is going to be next bond

[@Anonymous25012]

Loved the film! The story was too thin though!

[@rahmamd467]

Pierce Brosnan is my favorite james bond but Daniel Craig is my most favorite he did the role James Bond so Brilliant and I think new James Bond cannot do what daniel craig did as a bond.

[@annaritadelatorre493]

I love Daniel Craig!

[@Detsu98]

Daniel is the best Bond!!! I hope he will do one more movie at least

[@TavgaHawrame]

pleasant to watch New JAMES BOND FILM

[@Ricardo7250]

Lol, Spectre was way more darker than Skyfall actually

[@kingstricker43]

Great interview... But skyfall was MUCH better

[@w-james9277]

+Nonya Biznnus Spectre was still better than 90% of all the other Bond movies imo

[@piccolo56000]

+Leopard95 LOL WHAT the hell? they are incomparable.

[@w-james9277]

lonewolf colin So do you like Spectre/Skyfall then?

[@piccolo56000]

Leopard95 i have read reviews though , i have not watched it but i have watched casino royale , quantum of solace and Skyfall , i loved all except the second one , i think the styles are VERY different compared to all bond films , either if it was good or bad , its different eras.

[@ush4441]

Best DC james bond is.. Casino Royale...

[@austinreed3360]

Best bond movie is.. Casino Royale...

[@TianFranklin]

Dr No. for sure ;)

[@VanLupen]

YES!!

[@VanLupen]

My second favorite is Quantum of Solace

what's a does DC James Bond mean? plz help

[@ederlopez2716]

Daniel Craigs, Best Bond films: 1. Casino Royale 2. Skyfall. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Spectre 10. Quantum of shit

[@callumberriman5877]

A good interviewer most interviews just 'push' and 'push' about plot details blah blah which they both know they cant reveal and seem to intentionally make the star storm away to get more views. Yeah this was a good fresh take on interviewing

[@cassanova9322]

What's the name of the girl interviewing Daniel?what's her heritage?

[@alexandre6438]

Michael fassbender for next bond!!

[@nasreddine115]

I love you Daniel...;-)

[@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK]

i thought the 'i like you as Bond' was a strange statement because it's a bit of an underwhelming compliment. As clearly one wouldnt say they 'like' Connnery as Bond. I dont think Craig took it that well too. I think you should say you love him as Bond or nothing at all.

[@harnitirokyat3439]

nooooo u r the best daniel craig

[@kninety2710]

That poster is distracting when the cameras switch.

[@keithrobertson8101]

Daniel Craig probably the best bond no replacement for him in this role

[@keithrobertson8101]

+Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra your obviously fucking mad then

[@keithrobertson8101]

+Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra by the way that's not how you spell people

[@SadKeanu13]

Michael Fassbender 4 James Bond

[@princessnessahoangdo1589]

Hello hello Daniel Craig and wow 🤩

[@TheMJKnight]

Daniel to me could have done better as Bond if he had a little more humour and charisma to the role. My favourite Bonds are Sean Connery because he's the OG and sold the role like a Champ, Timothy Dalton for his no nonsense just get on with it attitude but with time for humour and Pierce Brosnan because he was the best elements of different Bonds blended together. It's not Craig's fault. He's just going with the material he's being directed with but I've never been bowled over with his performances.

[@AlanelPendjo]

Damn daniel

[@rahmamd467]

I really love the movie I love daniel craig as james bond so sad that this will his last movie for James Bond

[@asipheasap257]

Yet to hear anyone have any problem with Craig's performance as Bond, may have a problems with the movies themselves but him as Bond, not yet.

[@blabbermouth777]
