What do you mean he isn't tall? He's 5'11, that's above average height.

I think you are being rather selective in your views as Bond is desribed as being tall and handsome with black hair! :wink: Some of Fleming's Bond's attitiude may be in Criag's interpretation; but Craig looks nothing like Fleming's Bond, IMO. So he hasn't got black hair, thats the only part that de...

And what could the casual observer think of him, 'Commander James Bond, GMG, RNVSR', also'something at the Ministry of Defence', the rather saturnine young man in his middle thirties sitting opposite the Admiral? Something a bit cold and dangerous in that face. Looks pretty fit. May have been attach...

:roll: He's also working on Indiana Jones - so what if he's worked on Bourne? Is Spiderman the same as Bourne? Is Superman Returns? He's worked on over 100 movies, it doesn't mean he has the same style in everyone. I'll bet it wasn't his work on Spiderman that got him the Bond gig. No, I'll bet it ...

Right, quickly behind him... that's why he visited Vesper's grave every year at Royale les eaux on the anniversary of her death.

The Daily Mirror asked Brosnan what he thought about Daniel Craig's debut performace as 007. "He’s the greatest ever, and deservedly so," enthuses Brosnan, whose latest film, Seraphim Falls, is out today in the UK. "I’m proud and still honoured that I was part of that legacy, but I thought Daniel wa...

His three-picture deal with the company was not said to be especially generous. "It reflected the fact that he was an unknown quantity in the part," a pal of the 39-year-old actor tells me. "This is just to make sure he doesn't now start to feel hard done by." Sounds like Daniel is getting hard to ...

From wikipedia:- The DVD and Blu-ray releases have also broken records, with the region 1 Blu-ray disks selling more than 100,000 it has already broken the record for the greatest number of high-definition disks sold in one day [1] and the region 2 DVD has broken the record for the fastest week one ...

I think that there isn't any ideal hair style for Bond. It depends on actor Well I don't think this style suits Jim Bond. http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/makeup/1141/brosnan1.jpg :lol: Well, if this - http://entimg.msn.com/i/150/News/Feb06/DanielCraig_273.jpg is perfect for a lot of people Grey ...

That looks like Sean Connery?

Eon have made a different type of Bond film and been sucessful. Do you think they should be even more radical in Bond 22? Or will Craig become the Bond we "all know and love" jumping off cliffs in pink salapets and firing lasers out of his cufflinks? :lol: Well, I think it will go towards the early...

He has different opinions than you and he's a buffoon?

Good. I'd rather have an actor who's good for Bond over a big named star. Some roles are cast for the "star" just for the name when they don't actually work for the character, this is why I was glad Owen wasn't cast.

I'm not MI6, haven't even been there in a while. I post at CBn.

Which was also praised at the time and is often panned now (not by Bond fans, maybe, but critics often accuse Dalton of being "boring").

It's more the other way around.

Forrest Gump is still held in high regard, don't know Driving Miss Daisy.

I think people are smarter than that.

Kristatos A few years down the line, there will almost certainly be a backlash where positive reviews of CR are as rare as negative reviews are now. Then, finally, there might be some actual debate about whether Craig and CR are any good or not. Kristatos is right here. How can speculation be "righ...

Something like his hair at the first press conference
