Yes I did, and thank you. :)
It’s excellent.
Thank you. :-bd
Wow! Seriously impressive!!!! Reminds me of the TWINE theatrical poster (which is my favourite Bond poster of recent years).
Could you do the same for Timothee Chalamet? I'd love to see a proper mock-up.
He’s not British???
O% possibly.
Personally, I don’t want an American actor anywhere near the role of Bond.
He doesn't need much more. I can't believe I'm starting to think he could actually work.
Casting some plank of wood like Henry Cavill would be a backwards step and despite some fans willing it, thankfully Barbara won't be looking at him for the role.
Seriously you really think after casting DC she is going to go for someone like Cavill?
Bond might go more lighter but casting second rate actors after someone the calibre of DC, you lot are having a laugh.
There's not a single scene in the entirety of Craig's tenure as Bond that couldn't be delivered just as well by someone like Cavill.
The scenes in CR where he's recovering post-torture, and him and Greene are going on about little fingers, and where he's with Solange talking about bad boys, are so cringe worthy I can barely watch.
The wink in SF, plus the awkward walking backwards and pointing at a big lizard in the casino scene, are also incredibly self-conscious moments that don't feel natural at all.
I am not trying to do the man down, but there are plenty of moments in Craig's films that hundreds of actors could have done better.
Actually, maybe there is no actor in history that could make the Solange and Vesper scenes work. Either way, it is not like Craig saves those moments due to his 'acting calibre'.
He takes it seriously, sometimes (only sometimes) looks good, and has plenty of quality moments throughout the series. His ability in the action scenes is often impressive.
But he has been let down by poor scripts, and is easily replaceable. The notion that he has set a new benchmark for the series in terms of performance is not something I recognise.
Of course. It's all opinions.
Plus my comment about his voice is harsh, because he can't help it.
And I will be forever grateful to the man for taking the role seriously.
My point is that he is easily replaceable - even by someone like Cavill (who is far from my number one choice).
Goodness me, everyone's entitled to their opinion and everything but I can't agree with yours on that one at all. I've never been impressed by Cavill's delivery in any scene I've ever seen him in (I'm not saying any have stuck out as being terrible, they're just not impressive), unlike with Craig. For my taste I just can't imagine him delivering half of those scenes as well.
What are you saying is wrong with his voice? It's the one thing I've never seen anyone complain about before.
There wouldn't be any point in listing them. If you've decided, you've decided.
Off the top of my head, I've never seen Cavill do anything like the torture scene in CR: where Craig suffers extreme pain and then delivers a brilliant joke, and then seamlessly returns to grimly knowing that he's about to die. Cavill always seems generally more of a 'smell the fart' actor to me rather than someone who actually feels these things and can time them.
Craig hadn't done anything exactly like that scene either prior to CR.
That's nonsense logic. By the same logic you can't possibly state that he'd do just as well in those scenes.
Craig had shown that he's a very talented actor plenty of times before CR. Cavill still hasn't 15 years later.
Yes, because you suggested it! :D
I used your own logic back to you and now suddenly you're saying it doesn't make sense. :))
In case you don't recall: :))
Possibly. But he could play James Bond just as well.
You genuinely think asking for an example and then immediately stating all examples are invalid makes sense?
To make it clear for you: you said he would do all scenes just as well as Craig, and then you said it's impossible to know how he would do in those scenes because he's never done them.
Good grief :))
Absolutely, which is why Craig will always be a better Bond.
I really don't think he does though. In UNCLE that's what he's supposed to do and I found him to be just kind of... there. Hugh Grant blows him off the screen whenever he's in a scene with him.
There are much worse than him, he's not the worst actor I've ever seen in a movie. But I find him so bland.
