Fair enough. I just see Turner as a bit bland. An ok TV actor. But yes before The Night Manager I didn't see Hiddleston as Bond...that changed my view....a bit like Craig in Layer Cake did.
Its still Hiddleston,Fassbender or especially Hardy for me , after his total Bondlike performance in Inception (If you haven't seen him in that,then watch it - he has the voice,the moves,the gun-skills and fights brilliantly).
What does that even mean? Way ahead of their time in what way?
In 1962 Sean Connery turned the action hero on it's head and replaced the well bred, polite British hero with a rugged 'shoot now talk later' killer. He was immediately sensational. He was ahead of his time, but made an immediate impact.
Calling Dalton ahead of his time is no excuse for the fact he made no real immediate impact as Bond.
@Agnes_007
As a member of the fairer sex, of the two candidates you mentioned which has the most sex appeal for you? Considering that the majority of movie goers are female this is probably an important consideration!
He's decent acting wise but he's 5 ' 8"!
Someone who has class, masculinity, ruggedness and sophistication at the same time.
None of these candidates have these qualities.
@ClarkDevlin - I can't wait to read Hammerhead. Hopefully some issues will appear under my christmas tree on christmas day.
He's 5'9" and Craig is 5'10" so i dont see that being a problem,and as regard to his ruggedness,he is not like that in Inception.
The downside for me is well ok Hardy is shorter for Bond and appearance wise maybe too brutish.
BUT I can still see Hardy as Bond.
Really though we are back to square one. We need some sort of mutant Hardy Hiddleston Bond with a touch of Turner to appease @Mendes4Lyfe.

That s what it says on my dustjacket.
I was hoping you'd like that. :D. Got to admire your convictions.
That's very kind, I'll take all the validation I can get! ;)
Oh no. I would be the second worst Bond. IMHO.
Ow !!
Overuse of that expression on my part might turn me into a Canadian, eventually.
It's quite important that each actor reinvent the character to avoid staleness setting in.
True. But in trying to get so far away from what went before, to be different, at what point is it so different that it is no longer Bond?
