    Madden looks nothing like Bond, let alone zero charisma. Next.

    The main problem is that he’s 5ft 7 in. Aka a midget.
    Well Keeley thinks he's got the goods.

    He seems to be developing quite a fanbase here, slowly but surely. In fact, he may even be the forum favourite to take over.

    I'm about to start viewing Punisher Season 2.

    Someone who I'm keeping an eye on is Ben Barnes. 6ft 1, 37 years old and he looks good for his age. I first noticed him in Westworld. His name doesn't seem to come up on any lists. Perhaps that's a good thing.

    Having seen the 2nd season of Punisher, I'm scrapping Ben Barnes from my list. He doesn't have what it takes imho.

    He was good in Dorien Grey. Havent seen him recently. So I’ll reserve judgment until I do.

    He was awful in Dorian Gray. But the whole movie was truly awful.

    Nope.

    Yes. A desecration of a great novel.

    Nope. I still enjoyed the film and Ben Barne’s persona in the film despite deviating from the novel.....my opinion. You didn’t....great.

    Yes most definitely yes, it's a desecration. Cheap horror flick, based on a masterpiece. That has nothing to do with deviating from the novel, it has everything to do with not understanding a thing about it. Not a single character, not a single moment of it.

    Oh and it's Dorian Gray, not Dorien Grey.

    Nope. It’s to do with my personal opinion of enjoying a particular film. Period. I like it, you don’t. Brilliant.

    Thank you for the spelling correction too. Very much appreciated.

    Surely you must understand that your personal opinion on something doesn't necessarily qualify as a good evaluation on its quality. I love many things which are awful. I'm not going around saying they're not. Dorian Gray is an awful film. Period. Some people like it, some people don't. That's the subjective part. Not the quality of it.

    Wasn't that my point? Although there is no subjectivity for quality, only for taste. You can't say that 9 carat gold is better than 24 just because you like it better. You can, however, say that you like it better. Heck, you can say it 1000 times, at your free will. Still doesn't make it better than 24 carat gold. And no, Art is not that subjective as one thinks. There are many markers to evaluate art. And, as such, a film or a performance. And Dorian Gray is a bad film. Listen, I love many films that are bad films. Doesn't make them masterpieces. They're plain bad, and they serve my bad tastes and guilty pleasures. Now, if you think Dorian Gray is a good film, by all means, do share your evaluative markers. I'd love to know. But I guess that would be for another thread. Not this one. But listen, just to clarify:

    1) Not my discussion
    2) I respect that you like Dorian Gray, @suavejmf
    3) It's not a good film, by any standards
    4) The novel is a great novel, by any standards

    Thank you. But, and although I did chime in, it's not my discussion. If they take it there, I'll comment. I do think they were discussing the value of Ben Barnes as a Bond candidate, however. That may as well remain in doors, right? ;) Anyway, thanks @NicNac.

    As to returning to topic, here, allow me: No, I don't really think Cullen is suitable. A bit thuggish, IMO.

    And I will add @Univex that the people involved in the movie understood zilch about the source material.

    Shame that Colin Firth had a part in it. But we should take this discussion elsewhere, @Ludovico ;)

    I think Aaron Taylor-Johnson would be good. He was the best thing about Outlaw King, as well as Florence Pugh, who should definitely be a Bond girl in the future.

    No he's very bland, and very forced.

    Don't know why, but he's got an American face. What on earth is an American face, you ask me? I don't know. But he doesn't seem British to me. Don't know why.

    Wait, wait, just googled him. Nah, he's sort of a chameleon. Looks eastern european sometimes, even. Still, I don't see him as Bond.

    I’ve always found him to be a terribly non-charismatic actor. In Godzilla, as the “hero” he was wooden and unconvincing. Once Cranston’s character died the quality of the film plummeted.

    Damn, I even forgot he was in Godzilla. As far as I'm concerned, the best bit of casting in that film died in the beginning. They had two monster actors on that film and they killed them off at the start - Cranston and Binoche. Godzilla didn't have a chance ;)

    You guys should really check out Outlaw King. He's the best thing about that film, and stars an actress who I think would be a great future Bond girl, Florence Pugh, who also just starred in The Little Drummer Girl.

    Agreed, that's Bond right there. Also agree regarding your views about Barnes and Gray. You the man, @Univex

    Brilliant! =D>

    Very Dalton in those top two shots.

    Right? ;)

    Agreed, that's Bond right there. Also agree regarding your views about Barnes and Gray. You the man, @Univex
    No, you the man, @JeremyBondon.
    Genius minds think alike.

    I've never actually seen him act but am not sure these pics do him that many favours. Good looking chap obvs but can't say he really looks Bondian here. Looks like an Italian playboy . Unless of course you think anyone in a dinner jacket looks like Bond, which I know some people do.

    That's not to say he's not a contender- just these look like fairly standard fashion shoot photos with a male model.

    I think Aaron Taylor-Johnson would be good. He was the best thing about Outlaw King, as well as Florence Pugh, who should definitely be a Bond girl in the future.

    No he's very bland, and very forced.

    Don't know why, but he's got an American face. What on earth is an American face, you ask me? I don't know. But he doesn't seem British to me. Don't know why.

    Wait, wait, just googled him. Nah, he's sort of a chameleon. Looks eastern european sometimes, even. Still, I don't see him as Bond.

    I’ve always found him to be a terribly non-charismatic actor. In Godzilla, as the “hero” he was wooden and unconvincing. Once Cranston’s character died the quality of the film plummeted.

    You guys should really check out Outlaw King. He's the best thing about that film, and stars an actress who I think would be a great future Bond girl, Florence Pugh, who also just starred in The Little Drummer Girl.

    I've seen it. It doesn't help.

    Those of us who like the pics have seen him act, @Getafix. Someone advocated that pics don't do justice to any actor. They're right. Now, if we put together his acting, voice, presence and then the pics, that's a different matter altogether.
  • I could see it in him before, but not anymore. Something about the hair length, eyebrows and brown eyes. Now I picture him as a ponytailed playboy villain.

    Ahhh, you fantasize about A. Banderas in Desperado. Carry on.
