Okay so there is this new blond guy who's playing James Bond. I am a super SUPER James Bond fan and I don't know about this new guy...I mean he's English but a blond James Bond—

Pierce Brosnan was my favorite followed VERY closey by Sean Connery but we could all tell he was getting a little over the hill in "Die Another Day" so it is evident they needed another.

My question is...what do other James Bond fans think, who would you have chosen instead, and has anyone seen any previous movies.

I wanted Orlando Bloom to be the next Bond soooo bad, but he is already famous & they wanted someone who wasn't. 😢

HEY!

Pierce is my personal favorite...not knocking Sean, but he just doesn't do it for me like Pierce did. I can understand your choice though....At least you didn't say stupid Roger Moore!

So you didn't tell me what you think about the Daniel guy—

hey CL... I like this Daniel Craig guy ...but I don't like the BOND movies!
He's a good actor though...he played Ted Huges in "Sylvia" also starring G.Paltrow ...he had dark hair there ... very dark and brooding!

Honestly, Daniel Craig is not a good looking man. He's quite ugly actually but I think he evokes a bit of pity on sight so that people might not want to be too mean about him. He's a capricorn so he may pull off the Bond role. But for me James Bond will always be Sean Connery although Pierce Brosnan gets an honourable mention.

Craig's a killer CL you're going to like him as Bond,rent the movie Layer Cake it's an english gangster flick he doesn't play really hard in it but it'll give you an idea of what this guy is about. No one coul replace Connery I saw Thunderball last weekend I still love it he's a killer.

i thought he was the best bond yet. tougher...like a secret agent should be. more realistic too....no cars that turned into submarines are rocketpacks or stupid fake gadgets that would never work in real life......just kicking ass the old fashion way.

cj7, I couldn't have said it any better. Piscean Daniel Craig is the best 007, imho. He actually, for once, made me like a "James Bond" movie. He's charming and cool, but not prissy; he's tough, real, and kiss-ass, like you said. My kind of Bond. And your right, who needs the phoney gadgets. Let the actor shine. btw, he's signed on for 4 more 007 films!

Oh yeah, Luvved the "Aston Martin' & "theme song" too!

2 sharks swimming in opposite directions:

Craig is the shit just like my pisces intuition predicted he would be hard core vicious killer,with some tenderness Bond grew up a orphan? I never knew that.
