Re: Daniel Craig as the new James Bond.
To me, there's something wrong with a Bond who's able to do the most insane [censored] with the little smirk on his face. I see no bad-ass or ruggedness at all w/ Brosnan, which made movies like the Bourne Identity make me stop watching Bond w/ Brosnan.
James Bond should be a bad motherfucka that could whoop your ass and do secret agent [censored] at the same time, not a preppy little british man who looks more fit for a wine tasting party than a spy mission.

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly. Brosnan is so spectacularly wimpy, with such startlingly narrow shoulders, that he's almost funny because of that before he even opens his mouth. As a badass, he's a total non-starter. I seriously think there's hardly anybody on OOT who couldn't kick his ass. Bond needs to have some of that special forces aspect to him, that this is a guy who is seriously trained and has every intention of completing his mission come hell or high water, no matter who or what gets in the way. Smart, but unquestionably dangerous. A guy you really don't want to unload on you at all. A man you do not want to make mad. Somebody whose morality you might even question or find a little cruel, if you forget that not only is he trying to do his job for his country and save lives, but that he believes in that job utterly, 100%, and is not about to be dissuaded by anything that gets thrown up in front of him. A little fanatical? Yeah. But definitely a part of his job, and a job that actually has no place at all for someone who isn't completely committed down to the soles of his shoes. An intelligent monster. An ape in a suit. The contrast is what makes him interesting. Guys like Moore and Brosnan have no contrast. They're pussies. What you see is what you get.

Re: Daniel Craig as the new James Bond.
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! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) 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!)

Re: Daniel Craig as the new James Bond.
I'm one of the few who actually thinks Timothy Dalton was a great Bond. Manly, suave,cool under fire but not a cartoon. He was unfortunately stuck with some of the worst Bond storylines ever.
IMO it's Connery>Dalton>Brosnan>Lazenby>Moore. And Craig looks like a good addition.

I think Dalton and Brosnan were both quite good, though I prefer Brosnan, and were let down by the ridiculously complex and comic-book plotting that really wasn't worth following. All the films of both of these are worth watching though. What do people think is the worst Bond film? It'd have to be 'Diamonds Are Forever' (how could they blow a Connery/Vegas film and make it look a dull place, huh?), or maybe 'View to a Kill' for me. I think.
