CB&A? THE GOLDEN COMPASS? GWTDT?
Yes, I agree.
Couldn’t disagree more. Cavill has screen presence and can handle the physical aspects just fine. Not sure where this “zero charisma” accusation is coming from, beyond personal dislike.
He's a very wooden actor, people liking him does not make him charismatic.
Charisma or presence is different from acting. I believe Cavill has charisma. He just isn't a great actor. If he can hone his skills in that area sufficiently (and honestly, Bond doesn't require thespian skills) then he should be more than suitable.
I agree.
He impressed me in that film too. He was working with a top notch cast and team, and that probably helped to bring out the best in him.
I suppose given the cast and crew of these films they're somewhat high profile movies but nonetheless these are All before SF and happened to all be unsuccessful franchise killers.
I may be wrong but always felt Cavill was Campbell and MGW's choice. I don't see Babs going back to Cavill but who knows.
Cavill is definitely not as bad as he used to be in terms of acting but just lacks something IMO.
Yes Elba is a good, even a great actor. But most if not all of his success have been from TV.
Yes, the pedigree behind these films were would suggest that these are high profile films.
Even LL was high profile with the cast and the director that was involved.
These being box office failures wasn't because of one actor, though. And TGWDT was a brilliant Fincher film that was released during the Holiday Season. Shoot the marketers for that one. There's counter-programming then there's being tone-deaf.
Unlike you, I don't think Craig will disappear into obscurity. I see him probably doing a lot of ensemble pieces with great casts (as seems to be his MO in most of his films outside of James Bond). I don't think he will be chasing box office, nor is he interested in that. He will choose story, director, cast, and go and do his job.
I think of the suggested names, Turner and Cavill are probably best at that. Hardy has been a bit standoffish with Journo's in the past.
And you are entitled to your opinion. I stand by mine. Furthermore he's already too famous anyway.
Not at his age.
It raises any actors game.
Which is why I think acting ability is low down on the list of priorities. The gravity of a big franchuse like Bond will draw a performance out of an actor, just as it did for Moore, Lazenby and Brosnan.
Same here,IMO they got the right Bond for the right moment in time spot on,when that particular kind of actor was needed.
I agree. I'm very optimistic for B26.
B25 however is another matter.
Whoever comes next will indeed impress us, and at times make us cringe. You can't please everyone, as the old saying goes.
Although I do know I am in the minority....
I agree.
That was an era where characterisation was not the main priority, it was mostly about being fun and entertaining. Good times.
And no one knew who Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan were before being cast as Bond, right? ;)
But in what a lovely minority we’re in, right?
But of course...an elite bunch indeed @Univex ;)
You're not a minority, no feeling sorry for yourself here.
