  • DoubleOhhSeven wrote: Well I guess everyone is dumb except you. Yeah, basically. Anyway, the general movie viewing audience is pretty dumb. Do you really think they know what Bond should be like?

  • Getafix wrote: The idea that Craig doesn't 'look' like Bond is a bit passed it. He seems to have convinced almost everyone that he is at the very least a decent Bond Not me. Skyfall is going to make or break my opinion on him.

  • DoubleOhhSeven wrote: So they thankfully got Moore back. I agree. Brolin as Bond would have been just awful. And OP is actually one of Moore's best Bond films, so some good came out of him staying.

  • Saw the films as a kid, was generally a fan, but not a massive one. I think my favorite Bond as a kid was Roger Moore actually. I remember renting Moonraker, TMWTGG and a few others and really enjoying them (I still like TMWTGG). I only really start…
