I liked Hardy in Inception and Black Hawk Down. He has good range and can play refined, charming and desperate

But Craig has sufficient range too. I think what's lacking is cohesiveness in the direction. Like Nolan elevated the batman concept in his trilogy, I think Bond could have been more consistently handled through the first three films in the hands of a single director who was dedicated to the idea. Instead, we got three slightly different approaches--each resulting in a great film, I think--but without raising 007 to a successive art form in the way it could have been handled. Even relatively superficial production features like the font style of the titles announcing locations varied from film to film, and even from location to location in Quantum of Solace. Contrast that to the three Batman films by Nolan that were stylistically identical, to the point where all three had the title come up in the same font after the final frame of action. The reason Bale was so consistently good was Nolan's attention to detail. Craig could have benefitted from an equally dedicated director handling Casino Royale, QoS and Skyfall as a single arc.
