Why does everyone hate Halle Berry? I think she's a great Bond girl and one of the fittest. (Even though she's like 46)
She's a great Bond girl! One of the best as hottest and helping Bond.
I have nothing against Halle Berry as a person either, but Jinx is a terrible Bond girl. One of the laziest ever invented as well. They aped the entrance of Honey Ryder, they simply made her 007 with boobs, that's not what a Bond girl should be. I am all for decisive women but have a Bond girl be Bond's equal, which means Bond's female equivalent just makes the Bond girl AND Bond redundant as characters, one having the same function in the story as the other. Bond girls should have their own functions and theyr own personality in a Bond movie, if they help Bond is should be by completing him. They should bring something to the plot, reveal something about Bond, that is the whole point. Honey Ryder was a great Bond girl. Tatiana Romanova was a great Bond girl. Domino was a great Bond girl. Vesper Lynd was a great Bond girl. They all brought something to the story. What does Jinx do? She kills a surgeon and gets into a cat fight with Miranda Frost. She just happens to be there to sleep with Bond. She is so by the number it is not even funny.
I think many people on here confuse Halle Berry for the character she played. Have you seen the film she won for or are you just assuming she's a bad actress because she was crap in Die Another Day?
John Cleese was in Die Another Day but we're not saying that he doesn't deserve praise for Monty Python or Fawlty Towers are we?
Judi Dench was in Die Another Day, so why don't we start campaigning for her to lose her Oscar?
Halle Berry was shit in DAD (she was fit though), but that doesn't mean she's a bad actress. I doubt anybody could've given a good performance as Jinx with the way that character was written (although I do think she should've done something about the Yo Mamma line at least).
I'll admit I haven't seen her in much but she's won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a Bafta and tons of other awards. Now you don't need awards to be a good actor but on the other hand, there's no way she would've won so many if she was a terrible one.
I am completely against her returning though.
Voilà.
It was a heavy duty drama, if I recall.
Anyway, any new rumours out there? I haven't read of any; and I do think Lola can give it a rest.

I happen to dislike her quite a bit so I hope her wish does not come true.
A face like a smacked arse. No thanks!
Oh and her face is fine. And I mean fine.She is an English rose. Oh and she plays Diana Rigg's granddaughter in Game of Thrones, so she can get good coaching should she be cast as a Bond girl.
Bit harsh but I agree, I don't think she's good looking enough.
I wonder that myself.
@thelivingroyale-She is not at her best in this video. And she looks far better as a brunette IMO. Check Game of Thrones.
I think she would have made a great MP. Very English, good-looking, but mature too.

Most likely.
I loved Heard in the Nicolas Cage demon-nonsense film Drive Angry. If there were Oscars for such performances ( best performance by a leading hot chick in a cheeseball action-horror thriller) she would have got my vote.
I support both of these fine young blonde actresses for major roles in upcoming Bond films. :)>-
Actually if I had to vote now, Heard would get my vote for top blonde on the planet. I'd give her the nod. I can break the tie with her. Kate Upton second, but Heard is more mature.
From Gossip Girl, source article
"One of my minions at Star magazine stole a peek at the new untitled Bond script–the flick films this November, out a year later–and saw that Blake is being considered for the role of “Bond Girl #2,” according to the script. The role is described as a “Scandinavian woman who has a good heart but troubled past.” So basically the same as every other Bond girl before her, no? Although some Bond babes fizzled, like Denise Richards in The World is Not Enough (SHUDDER) and that Russian girl who never took off her cardigan in GoldenEye, I’m sure B would make a stellar leading lady for 007.
That is–if she gets the part. I hear that the critically overrated Amber Heard is also up for the role and that producers can’t quite decide between them. Personally I find Amber so beyond whateverish, especially when compared with Blake, that I can’t imagine her opposite James Bond, can you?"
