(Its a VERY good list, imo)
Here's Empire's descriptions:
For Vesper:
' It's said that every generation gets the Bond girl it deserves. While the 1967 take on Fleming's book had Ursula Andress as a more comedic Lynd, Green's Vesper is the ideal icon for today's 007 fan. Sharp and sarcastic when she needs to be, she's also enchanting and not a little bit mysterious given her background and silken accent. Frankly, any woman that can make legendary lothario Jimmy B consider giving up his womanising ways is impressive for that alone. '
Profession Double agent
Played by Eva Green
In Casino Royale (2006)
Ideal chat up line "When I saw you, I was shaken AND stirred."
Any drawbacks? Watch out: not only does she already have a boyfriend, but he's also been kidnapped by Quantum (though he is later revealed to be part of the organisation himself) and she's betraying her country out of concern for him. Who needs that drama?
For Xenia:
' Frankly, we're a bit alarmed that so many of you voted for Xenia. Maybe you're the masochist faction of our readership. "She doesn't have the limitations that normal people have," said Famke Yanssen of the role that put her on the cinematic map. This is something of an understatement. Xenia Onatopp, perhaps inevitably given that name, has voracious appetites both for sex and for killing. So while it's easy to be taken by the orgasmic gasps emanating from that statuesque black-clad frame, it's hard not to be distracted by the fat guy she's strangling with her thighs, or by the fact that she's mowing down a legion of goons with a machine gun. That said, in the ranks of female Bond villains, she's hotter than Irma Bunt, not as silly as Bambi and Thumper, and less terrifying than May Day. But wouldn't you feel safer with Plenty O'Toole? '
Profession Assassin
Played by Famke Jannsen
In Goldeneye (1995)
Moment of hotness Giving Bond as good as she gets in the steam room. Or possibly when she's orgasmically firing a machine gun around a Russian bunker.
Ideal chat up line "Fancy coming back to mine to try out my Thighmaster?"
Any drawbacks? You're probably going to DIE.

I still can't get over Xenia being that far Onatopp in the list. B-)
Or horseshit (whichever is lower)
Uma Thurman is not sexy, maybe some SM mother thinks that any woman who kicks butt and kills like that is sexy. I don't. I'll take a flight attendant or school teacher any day.
Natalie Portman was not sexy in the Star Wars Trilogy (episodes 1-3) she is too young and not curvy...then that Harry Potter child?? WTF? are we into kiddie porn now???
Natalya was sexier than Vesper!
I don't understand the Rooney Mara appeal. She is nice looking, but not on the standards of Bond girls, or Eva. :\">
