Do you think Craig is a good actor?

[james stock]

I personally dont think he is that good of an actor, the films i have seen him in i find him unexpressive probebly one of least expressive actors around. He has not impressed me in any film i have seen him in. i wonder if anybody could recomend a film that he performs above a level of comertose so i can give a fairer assesment of his acting.


Bang on time!

[The Sweeney]

He's very good in Enduring Love.
I've also seen him in the TV program Friends from the North, which he was brilliant in.

Incidentally, do you think Brozza is a remarkable actor?

[Kristatos]

As I've said many times before, I think he's a good actor, just miscast as Bond.

[Oddjob]

Craig's rubber face is useful for character parts but Bond? I don't think so.

Craig is a fine actor, but why do you always bring Brosnan back in to the equation?

That interested me too.

Daniel Craig is an good actor, but not Bond.

Incidentally, do you think Connery is a remarkable actor?

Sean Connery, man of a thousand voices

I'm trying to find out what he classes as a decent actor, just for my own peace of mind.....

You've got one of your witty ripostes planned.

[stockslivevan]

I think Craig is a good actor, he's throw himself into plenty of roles and proves to be versitle and dedicated. It's no wonder he's highly regarded by many.

[John Drake]

A compotent actor but he doesn't have the looks for Bond.

Hi Sweeney!

Sorry about late post back! to answer your question i find Brosnan to be a decent actor and absolutely right for James Bond, charasmatic, suarve, witty and tough when needed. For me Craig had no charisma or presence.

i am not saying that to be just awful to Craig for the sake of it, i went into Casino with an open mind with no predijuces and came out feeling cheated.

i am pleased you liked Craig and enjoyed the film though

James Bond is similar to Robin Hood, as characters. They are not your average guy who lives on the boat in the next slip. Even the universe's greatest actor may not be automatically the best choice to play a Hood or a Bond. The actor, in a word, has to have 'star quality.' Errol Flynn had that. He was the perfect choice for Robin Hood. I don't think Edward G. Robinson would have made a good Robin, nor Lawrence Olivier. Flynn had the dash, the glint in the eye to play the luvable rogue. Bond is also a luvable rogue.

So the question whether Craig is a good actor takes second place to whether he is a 'luvable rogue' .... with his Bond, there are many who wouldn't care if Bond were killed. 1/ they would say, So what. He has no emotional or cool connection with me (the audience) 2/ it's not Bond being killed, anyway. This would not be the case with the other Bond actors. Eg, even though the vote is split with Lazenby, people do care about his Bond when Tracy is killed. If that had been Craig, I would have responded as '1' and '2' above.

Was Craig in Tombraider? I don't even remember. If so, that's the only other film I've seen him in.

btw, getting back to Robin Hood a bit: Flynn was the perfect choice; if a young Brosnan had played RH, he would have been OK. At least his Hood would have been a little believable as a good-looking charmer. A young Craig would not have been even OK.

Bond is also a good looking charmer. Craig the actor is not.

Absolutely correct Commander!

He is not leading man material in my eyes, i felt more sympathy for the villian in Royale, Craig is only Bond i have wanted to see killed!

Who is your Favourite Bond Sweeney? What do you like to see in a Bond film?

Connery is still the ultimate for me. I prefer Bond films to be more serious like the novels (FRWL, OHMSS, CR, GF, Dr. No, LTK, etc.)

Who is your favourite?

Hi Sweeney

i have liked all the Bonds apart from Craig, my favourite is Roger Moore, i like Live and Let Die, i also liked for your eyes only. My favourite Bond is Licence to Kill i acually appreciated what Dalton was doing with the part and this is the closet to flemings Bond we will ever get in my opinion

Glad you like LTK too - it's one of my favourites. And yes, it is about as close to Fleming as you can get, well it was until CR came out....

You could argue that CR is about as far removed from Fleming too.
