I agree, Golden Eye kicked ass and was the last good one. Pierce Brosnan makes a very good Bond but the writers have been even crappier than usual lately..
Oh god, John Cleese as Q is a disaster 
He is NOT Bond. That is all there is to it. Let's hope he realises that.

Somthor had this to say about Knight Rider:
I tend to agree, when it came to acting i though the guy who played the second batman (drew a blank trying to rember his name) was the worse of the 3 modern ones.They went from Dark knight to Camp again, should have left Robin out and certainly Batgirl.
though the villians havent been that bad. Obviously Jack as The joker was a brilliant choice, but Carey was great as the riddler. Bane could have been a bit better though.
Nicholson was fantastic as the Joker. Pfeiffer was the perfect Catwoman (this new Halle Berry movie is going to suck ass), DeVito was the perfect Penguin. The problem was that after that, they started thinking they had to have two or more villains per movie. Riddler could have had a movie unto himself. Two-Face was reduced from being the second most psychologically twisted Batman villain (next to the Joker) to the Riddler's armed thug. That's when it started to suck.
Ahnold as Mr Freeze was horrific, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy was frightening, and Bane, the cunning steroid-and-surgery-enhanced murderer who systematically wore down via a good plan of action and BROKE BATMAN'S BACK in the comics was reduced to a grunting, lurching, moron. Of course that entire movie was camp, so it fits they fuck everything up.
Robin, on the other hand, was not the problem. If anyone was going to play Dick Grayson, it should be Chris O'Donnell. I could see him as Dick Grayson, Robin, and I could see him as Nightwing. Batgirl was definitely a problem.

Verily, CBTao doth proclaim:
to the point Bloom is too young, Bond is not young, he's a seasoned vet, thats why he's unshakable. Let bloom get some wrinkles or some more leathery skin.
It's easy to age an actor with a decent makeup artist. Grey the hair a little, age the skin, adding 10 or 20 years to bloom would be easy. But they won't, and that's the problem.
If they did, I feel that he'd have a shot at the role, because he is actually a pretty good actor, he's just too young looking.
No, Really. Bite me.
Let alone suave and sophisticated.
Bloom is a horrible choice, he's a decent actor but NOT for Bond..
I wish Brosnan had stayed on but that still doesn't fix the shitty script and directing and overall mediocrity of the whole James Bond phenomenon these days.

I can understand why they/he are retireing him as Bond, if you look at him from his first bond to his latest one you can tell hes aging and hes starting to look a little old and worn out...
I think its time for a new actor but I agree with the majority I cant see bloom as that actor, to young...

Well her movie isnt based on batmans catwoman.. I mean come on a girl that is killed by her boss in a fight and comesback to life with catlike abilities... COMPLETELY different dont you see it?
Orlando Bloom is a pretty boy, he looks like a boy, his previous roles were semi-naive and immature, Bond he is not. Although to be perfectly honest, I never have been a real Bond fan to begin with, and havent even really watched any since Connery was Bond. Not my cup of tea.

Halle Berry aside from having looks, sucks ass as an actress anyway, and I firmly believe her movie will suck ass too. And barely messing with the origins isn't enough to seperate it from the Batman Catwoman, and what makes you say its not based of the Batman Catwoman. 
That is the origin of Catwoman, that statement was just retarded.
But the only reason this seems a bad choice to us is because we have an ingrained image in our head as to who and what Bond is. If youve never heard of any of the previous Bonds, you wouldnt think this to be such crap. What theyre trying to do is create a totally new and different image of what Bond is.

If they're trying to just come up with something totally different, then give it a different name. Maybe the lead could be called something like "Cody Banks" if Bloom is going to play it, instead of "James Bond".
No, Really. Bite me.

the only redeeming value of Agent Cody Banks was Frankie's hot self being in it
Why can't they let the series die already. I'm a huge Bond fan, but they've been fucking the title up for too long.
I wish they would just stop the bullshit.

Is there any actor/actress you DONT dislike? Seriously, I've never seen you post anything positive about any of them.
It stinks! it stinks! it stinks!
Yes Mr. Sherman, everything stinks.
Conery was the definitive bond, but moore was also a great bond, but he was a different kind. he used more gadgets than physical stuff. that idiot they had after him sucked. I mean he didnt sleep with the girl a guy who plays bond who says no to a sexy woman is not bond, hell bond is all about making women who normaly say NO pant with desire.
Bond is a male fantasy the guy who can get any woman defeat any man.. A mans Man. poor bloom is none of those things he looks slightly fem to me.
anyway Just like Tom baker was the definitive DR, im sure they will plod along til they find the right guy. No one will walk away from the franchise becuse its money in the bank.. no matter how bad it is people will go see it hoping to see a good movie.

I agree, Moore was a good Bond. Timothy Dalton on the otherhand(the Bond after Moore) was a fucking joke, just a joke.

Nonetheless, Fae's analysis that the new Catwoman flick will suck is dead on. Which is a shame because I like Halle Berry.

Christian Bale is a downright awesome all around actor. I don't like everything he has done, but he is awesome in it.
Tommy Lee Jones is a fucking badass and can pull off anything, hell he has made shitty movies that were good just because he was in it.
Kate Winslet is HORRIBLY underrated and a seriously great actress who suffers mainly from the stigma of Titanic which both made her career for a time, and subsequently made her a joke. She is an awesome actress, and can make even her shitty movies tolerable... TO a degree. Some are just downtight mindfuck quality, ala Jude. *shudders*
Sean Connery is top notch, much like Christian Bale I don't like everything he is in, but he is a DAMN great actor.
Tom Cruise is awesome, but makes some shitty movies, even though his acting is superb.
Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, and many more.
Thats just a couple off the top of my head. They can all make shitty movies at some point, but all are great actors/actresses
Hate list includes
Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Hugh Grant....
There are more. I was, and continue to be a thespian addict, and I'm a very hard critic, but I'm not that hard. Halle Berry sucks, and has proved it time and time again. She's just hot and gets all this credit purely for being eye candy, not for any ability. I want to be entertained, and hot'n'heavy doesn't have the same effect on me it used to, so I want a good quality job.

Clooney's acting didn't exactly sparkle either though, did it?
And I have to agree.... Orlando Bloom can NO WAY do James Bond any justice. Hell, IMHO he's going to be worse than Timothy Dalton.. (and that was the WORST. BOND. EVER!)
Pierce Brosnan rocked as James Bond. I'd seriously jump into bed with that super-spy (Sean Connery too, even old as he is).

Have you seen her in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind yet?
Absolutely wonderful. Brilliant preformance in a fantastic movie. Made me actually remember her name.
And they are tlaking about getting him for the Bond movie AFTER the next one.
So he'll be 30 something.
Maybe he'll be a more rounded actor then, to?
I dont think he will handle it. But I didnt think brosnan would either... thought he was more of a sissy on screen.
We shall see. I can't really ignore any bond film outright.

Bloom strikes me as a "romantic comedy" type actor. He's just a pretty face. [ 03-25-2004: Message edited by: TheOriginalZane ]
As I see it, for the time being, I think he has no stand out acting qualities at all.
