I reckon he'll do fine - I just hope they stick to a simple, slick story where he can think, fight, luv up the ladies, and show how damn clever and cool he is. If there's one word that defines Bond, even above cool, it's 'capable'. They got to show he's really, really capable of doing his thing.



I just hope they make him both brutal (like Connery shooting the unarmed guy stone dead in Dr No), a thinking man as well as an action man (like Connery in Goldfinger), able to be down and still work his way out (connery in From Russia with Love), and the coolest mofo alive (like Connery, full stop!

As for Brosnan, he could have been really, really awesome - remember how he looked at the beginning of 'Tomorrow Never Dies' in the plane yard with the missiles - very, very cool and doing the business - but scripts and stuff didn't work out. And I thought he was no.2 in the Bond pantheon behind Connery myself (Lazenby is 3rd!)
