Brem Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Adding to the above people didn't want to Craig in the role because he is blonde and there has never before been a blonde bond. So obviously Idris being in the frame was likely to draw some backlash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephren Taylor Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 James Bond is a made up character though right? So he can't be put in a comparison with white people playing real life black people James Bond is pierce brosnan to me.. Nothing or no one will change that.. Didn't even bother watching the Daniel Craig 1s, he's a fake lol You're missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Yuy Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Daniel C ain't even a bad bond tbf, have to C/S man like Pierce GoldenEye>>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephren Taylor Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace & Skyfall are in my top 20 all time fave list of movies.... Enjoyed them the most. IMO....D Craig has been the best bond thus far Prefer those to the other Bond movies, which are full of cheesy one liners and slapstick humour Tom Hardy would be a good Bond... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think Daniel Craig is the better actor but the Pierce Brosnan movies had more to them. Or it could be I was more entertained at that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Yuy Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Casino Royal was very good. Quantum suffered from having to live up to Casino Royal though, and Skyfalll was just overly complicated. If you actually go back through the story of Skyfall, the thing they were originally after at the start of the film, Doesn't even get mentioned again Tom Hardy would be cold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heero Yuy Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hardy is one of the hardest actors out, guy is diverse to fuck. He'd make a excellent Bond 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshie Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I dunno man, big fan of Hardy but he ain't the maturity 'swag' to be Bond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung bawse Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 IMO bond should always be someone of slim build.. Someone who uses skill and wit over strength & muscle.. Someone that blends in and doesn't look like he's capable of much until the action kicks off 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Yuy Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I dunno man, big fan of Hardy but he ain't the maturity 'swag' to be Bond. Nobody thought Brosnan was ready for Bond when he was given it. Seriously, can anyone even name 10 films and 5 of any note that Brosnan did before he took Bond. Can't really speak too much for Daniel Craig, but nobody would've predicted he'd be right for the role either at the time. Hardy is a better 'actor' than both imo, guy just slips into roles and makes them his own effortlessly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt, saw Locke the other day which is over an hour of just Hardy in a car and loved it. But I just can't see him as Bond, couldn't put a name instead of his in the lining though tbh..

Badman Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Always thought that Clive Owen should have been made bond rather than Daniel Craig. Not a fan of Daniel at all tbh edit Pierce > 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing with Bond, they never choose a bait actor. Everyone thought Clive Owen was a shoe in and then it turned out to be Daniel Craig, who does work the character because the role has changed. It will probably go the same way when Daniel leaves, the character will go in a new direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VENOM Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 ive only seen one of craigs bond films, come like bob the builder. if he can do it so can danny dyer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i5_PRODUCER Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Cant see Tom Hardy doing it , Although i couldnt see Craig doing it either , Craig is annoying he has zero emotion on his face. Could easily have been that evil cop in terminator 2 I think Gerrard Butler Elba Jude Law , are my choices. Law is pushing it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Yuy Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I like Idris, but i feel what Lens is saying when it comes to him in films. Haven't seen Mandela so I can't comment on that, but alot of roles he's played could've been done by anybody else and he wouldn't have been missed. I actually forgot he was in pacific rim ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i5_PRODUCER Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 100% right on that point actually. Forgot he was a side man in promethius as well. I'm only putting him up there because if people are looking for a (racially) different bond then he's def a good choice cause he does have that "maturity" Yoshie was on about.

Brem Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 law is not an action man. Elba has been disappointing in most films. Although I liked him in Mandela. Butler is a maybe. He has some swag but most of the time i feel to smack the tv when he is on. Can't explain it. Hardy I think would be the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underwriter Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 idris seems a bit heavy/hefty (not in a fat way) if u seen him run in luther and other shows he needs to lean up a bit and be more agile then maybe he could be a bond (they probably would take him to a brit school etiquette class as well ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
