I concur with articles sentiment, but I did like Casino Royale.

He's a decent enough actor but I don't know why he was chosen in the first place, Henry Cavill or Clive Owen should of got the role.

reply

I remember when Clive Owen was doing those BMW "The Hire" short films. When Craig got the Part. I was like "Why didn't they go with that guy".

reply

Yeap. Henry Cavill is not the funniest guy around, but at least he's willing to play comedy and he does it decently. He was quite good in The Man from UNCLE.

Craig, on the contrary, takes himself too seriously. It's like he has a broom stuck inside his ass.

reply

Craig knew from the onset that signing on as 007 would be more than a 1 film deal, but he has done nothing but complain about it since wrapping CR. It's almost as if he was channeling Jessica Biel from her "7th Heaven" days, because when she got sick of her role, she badmouthed the show and posed for some racy (but very nice) pics in a magazine called Gear in hopes of getting released from her contract.

OLD AGE...THAT IS WHAT IS KILLING GOOD OL' MISTER BOND.

reply

Most of Moore's role as Bond had Moore being in his 50s, older than Craig is right now. And he's widely considered the second best Bond ever after Connery.

Old age, my ass. Modern Bond (as almost all modern Hollywood cinema) is shitty by its own merits.

reply

Frankly Craig looks older than he actually is. I actually liked all the Bonds up until Craig took over. Bond movies shouldn't be about as enjoyable as having a root canal.

reply

YOU MISS THE POINT...NOT THE AGE OF THE DUDE PLAYING BOND...THE AGE OF THE CHARACTER HIMSELF...BOND IS LIKE 50-60 YEARS OLD...THE FRANCHISE IS READY TO BE PUT DOWN.
