  • @bain123 both Craig and Dalton have presence. Magnetism? Watch Dalton in Framed. He should have done more of that in Bond

  • And I feel Brosnan is too harshly denigrated here. He was splendid in GE. He did a great job. I thought about it yesterday and remembered that back in 1996, I used to watch GE daily. And he was very funny and witty. The tank scene was pure style.…
  • Let's all put our personal preferences aside, and give each actor their due. My preference for Craig is QOS. Did not care for the style change of the Mendes films. He fought better in QOS, and thought the PTS of SF was dull. bar the initial point wh…
