[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9594424, member: 18"] Not like Broccoli was doing a good job. The most recent Bond movies were very aggressively "okay" and rather dull, and had this incredibly stupid and un-Bond-ian nonsense with Bond growing up with Blofeld and so on (which sort of almost Harry Potter-esque), and they'd been stuck on trying to choose a new Bond for several years. Amazon will probably run it into the ground with spin-offs, but it's a case of from bad to worse rather than from good to bad. I just pray they don't select one of the many terminal non-actors who seem to be being suggested for the role. Say one thing for Daniel Craig - he can act, and does act, and will act. About 70-80% of the people suggested? Cannot/will not act, or not beyond the most basic melodrama level. You can't just cast a pretty face for Bond, you need someone with personality and acting chops, like Dr Who. [/QUOTE]
