  • So to be clear, there should be no minimum height for Bond ? So if a 5’1” actor would be suitable?
  • suavejmf wrote: » talos7 wrote: » Unfortunately he not even 5’8” Too short then. Bond should not be below average or unexceptional in any respect. A short actor can’t carry the ‘brand’ on the red carpet, even if it can be ‘disguised’…

  • It's interesting, Murphey's name has been tossed around for some time; in the past I've thought of him as odd looking and more suited to play a villain. I have to say, I'm still not sold but he has grown into his looks and I can, somewhat, see the p…

  • So is Connery’s look in Goldfinger classic, or is the one in Thunderball or Diamonds are Forever? Actually this could be a discussion of hair... pieces. Lol. In being more specific, about hairstyle in general, even when parted to the side, I prefe…
  • What an overreaching, ludicrous statement. From hairstyles to wardrobe, Bond has had many looks. We each have our preferences.

  • Great pictures above!
  • I’ve always liked the look of Craig’s hair when they arrive in Montenegro

  • 1 and 2 were tough but heart; there were light, comedic moments but they were not intrusive. By the 4th, Murtaugh was acting like a chicken in the rain to distract a guy in a suit of armor brandishing a flamethrower. Good grief...

  • Hoult has steadily grown into his looks and will continue to do so. He will be at least 35 when the next Bond is introduced . Its a safe bet that the next incarnation will be on the younger side. Right now A. Turner and N. Hoult are my top two candi…
  • I'm a fan of shorter haircuts for Tom in the MI films. The photo above is doing no one any favors. Tom is pushing 60 and in the vast majority of pictures looks phenomenal.
  • The first two, particularly 1, are classics; the third was good but definitely a slip in quality. The fourth film was a disaster; it devolved into a yuck fest and wasted a great villain in Jet Li. As “Rocky Balboa” did for the Rocky saga, if there …
