Turner is a perfect mix between Brosnan and Connery. It's fantastic.
Yes. Can they check their cufflinks while looking into the camera?
Yes it is praise. You may not wish it, but it is so. :)
If we find the man who can do all that... He's the new Bond. And I say man not actor. Because you know... Robbie Williams could've been Bond.
@talos7 Sean Connery had acting skills and natural charisma before he became Bond.
Layer Cake was his ticket to Bond. And just look at Craig's pictures before Layer Cake.
Nobody with a sane mind would have wanted him as Bond then.
Aidan Turner on the other hand already has the looks (if still a tad too young), he is an accomplished actor on TV since a decade. Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were not any different in that regard.
So any criticism Turner wouldn't work on the big screen or he looks too young or isn't a good actor is pretty ridiculous.
Tell me then, who would be a better choice?? Jamie freaking Bell?
*For the record, my No 1 contender for Bond has been Dan Stevens for many years and still is by the way. Sadly it'll never happen.
As does Turner...
Really?
This is why it's really hard to have a genuine discussion about Craig's abilities. A lot of people have neither seen, nor have any inclination to see his work. It's why I mentioned Logan Lucky as an example people should check out - I know none of you are going to source stuff like 'Our Friends in the North', but you can drop a fiver for that when it's released. I saw 18 mins of it at the weekend and Craig is superb.
I'm sure fellow members will also agree that he is an incredible stage actor. To master both is something very few actors pull off.
For the record, I don't feel you need to be a particularly brilliant actor to be Bond, but he is, and we've been treated to some outstanding moments during his tenure. Roger is my favourite Bond, but it's laughable to denegrate what Craig brought to this role. Some of you need to disconnect from your agendas
He's got some acting skills but he's not exactly Connery. Not even remotely comparable. Like @peter said he's a decent tv actor.
The comparison is hilarious.
There's just no common measure.
if Martin Campbell still has the hunger, he would be the man to do it.
Trust me. it's gonna be great.
