Brosnan makes me want to vomit. I saw the last one... what the hell was it called? With that hobag Halle Berry? Ugh. What a worthless piece of crap that movie was!

I haven't seen any of those. I generally don't watch Bond movies because they're style over substance, but not my kind of style.

I think he's a great choice personally. Most Brits I've talked to are very happy with this choice. Craig's a great actor and he has rough edges too, so he should make Bond a little grittier. Most people I know weren't happy with the thought of Aussies like Jackman and McMahon being Bond. James Bond is the only proper British movie hero we have. Most of the time Brits are confined to playing the villain in blockbuster movies.

I don't know, I never looked at it that way. I never really thought that actually being British was dealbreaker (for me, at least, I know sentiment is different over there). Sort of like with Batman; I don't care if the actor playing him is German, British, or American. Though we certainly lucked out with Christian Bale.

Me, too. Love Bond, love Brosnan. Thought he was spot on. Perfect. Some of the other Bonds are amusing, too.
I hope this guy is good, but i'm not into blondes for Bond, and he looks a bit mouse faced...(features congregated towards center of face, with long skinny nose).
But he must be okay, or else they wouldn't have picked him, assuming there's no Timothy Dalton factor in place.

Bond is massive in the UK. There seems to be a Bond film on terrestrial TV every week, and people watch them too!

The Connery films are a bit too dated for him to be my fave, plus he is not as "manly" looking as the others.

He is my second favorite, though. And the "dated" factor often also works in a Bond movie's favor for me to watch it. You know, the camp factor? Although, the seventies ones are awesome for the cheese. But Roger Moore's square jaw and robotic acting get on my nerves. So it's a trade off....The only ones that no one should watch, of course, are Dalton's.

Connery not manly enough? Look at that rug on his chest and tell me he ain't manly!

Oh, is that what Dalton said? He wasn't "too serious", he was "uncharismatic"

Wow, that is quite the manly chest!!! I'm referring more to the set of his facial features.

I've never seen a Bond film, and they've pretty much guaranteed, I never will.

Blegh.

How in the world can anyone look at Sean Connery and not think "manly"?

I think that slight androgyny makes him sexier hence my above comment that Craig isn't "pretty" enough. I know the Connery films are dated but he was just so frikkin' cool in a fantasy sort of way.

I can't imagine this guy as James Bond. What were they thinking of

Bring back Pierce Brosnan or Timothy Dalton!!!!

tuigirl · #26 10-14-2005, 03:18 PM

Yep, I'm not holding out much hope for DC being a decent James Bond..oh well....now Ewan McG would have been my fav choice

simply because he comes across as a real charmer/ladies man and thats half of what JB is about. And the scottish accent is rather yummy

His features were uh..."delicate" or probably more like "cute". Yeah, he was cute when he was younger. He's not feminine or anything, he's just not as square jawed and steely eyed as the others.

Not because of Daniel Craig choice (I've never cared much about James Bond) but because this soap opera is over. Now shoot the movie that hopefully I won't have to see. Anyway, all my respect to Samantha Bond who quit Moneypenny role, to be loyal to Brosnan.

Eww. He's vile. I prefer Brosnan. Then again, I prefer Timothy Dalton or Sean Connery as well.
