He has a son with this girl...
So I wouldn't go that far.
You can't beat Flash Gordon for bigness!
Urgh! Flash Gordon. Saw that for the first time recently. Terrible =))
I still think his most enjoyable part was Hot Fuzz. In that he was just awesome.
Provide your counter argument then. I think he knows that Bond was his biggest and best break and it didn't work out for him. He's seen by the general public as a forgettable Bond and frankly I am not aware of him doing any quality work since LTK. Hot Fuzz aside, in respect of Bain.
You feel, it does? ;) But yes, I have seen DC in worse outfits throughout his career.
That was years ago. Mel Gibson's been there since then and tried to kill her as well if I remember correctly.
Yeah but Dalton is of the "old kind" of stage star. Craig's a bit more...contemporary.
It's really tough because I USED to think Dalton was better BUT, after watching CR again, Craig just has that "cool", cocky quality that Dalton lacked. He's a rogue who pretends not to give a shit about danger. He can mock the enemy with a smirk on his face and not care (like when the baddie loses the Aston Martin at the leisure park in CR).
Physically he's about as tough as they come too. He can throttle/drown a man with his bear hands and keep his cool. He can shoot a man point blank and barely flinch.
You remember right. Still, even if it was years ago, he managed to get her even though he's what, 20 odd years older? Wouldn't call him a loser.
She is hotter than Weisz!!!
'That chick' does look a touch naff next to the lovely Rachel. I think we can all agree that Craig wins on the real life chicks front. Infact, he probably beats all of the Bonds, no?
Weisz is gorgeous.
Had her and lost her. Q.E.D.
I really respect that.
Cmon @Getafix you're a Dalton fan, you're meant to be backing me up here!
The thing about Bond actors is that I don't actually care what they're like off screen. Of all of them Brozza comes across as the guy who would be most fun to have a pint with, but I don't care. He sucked as Bond and that's all that matters. Dalts comes across as a bit of a ponce who takes himself way too seriously, but he kicked ass as Bond. Therefore, he rules.
Sats' wasn't so much ugly as a little bit plain. He's definitely moved up in the world.
That said, Rachel is 40+ now and is looking a little rough around the edges...
But how does that possibly make him a has-been loser? You make him sound like some washed up junkie actor that can't let go of the past. Something that Dalton obviously isn't, even if he's not had the most glittering career.
Now there me and @Getafix are in agreement. Brozza would be fun to have as a drinking buddy.
I wouldn't call Dalton a "has been loser", thats pretty harsh. He has afterall starred in films with Katherine Hepburn, Mae West, Alec Guiness and Anthony Hopkins, how many of us can say that? BUT he's never really been a "star" like the these people. He's just not engaging enough as a lead in the eyes of audiences.
Agreed.
I'm not basing my view on hard, fist-hand research. Just the fact that he's done nothing of any note since LTK and has lost his looks and apparently any of the kudos that should go along with being a past Bond. If he'd done 4 or 5 he would have been established in the public imagination. Instead he's seen as peripheral and a bit of Lazer.
Hot Fuzz, the Tourist. 2 big films that made alot of money, which Dalton was in. Ok the Tourist was bad but Dalton was one of the films good points. And he hasn't really lost his looks, I think he's aged pretty well.
