And you go out of your way to wrap your disagreement with me in insults, only to agree with me. You are right, they didn't have to reinvent the wheel. But they did. Unfortunately. All they had to do was to start writing better scripts like they have for Craig.

He, if given the chance, would have been amazing in the reboot. I think Craig has done a great job but like you, feel his stature and blond hair throws off the decades long style and feel of the character. Even still, I love the movies he's done as Bond. That said, I doubt we'd be having this conversation had Hugh Jackman not refused the role in 2005. |

Brosnan had a lot going for him for the 007 except the commanding voice and delivery that Connery had. Craig is OK in that department. Too bad he just doesn't look like Bond. |

Lazenby's interesting. I think his short run has people overrating him a little and I used to do the same. Then I re-watched Secret Service and really thought he did a mediocre job. He was stiff, unpolished and just not as good as I remembered. I think people like him more than they should because they just didn't get a chance to grow tired of him. And also, he played Bond in a single movie that was a little different from the rest and was quite good on its own. He gets credit for being Bond in a good movie, just as Dalton got nailed for being Bond in really bad movies (though Dalton just wasn't that good). Craig's just a far different Bond than anyone that's come before him so its tough to put him in the hierarchy. For the most part, he's been James Bourne. I like his movies a lot and the gritty nastiness of them, but they're a world apart from the rest of the series. It's just tough to grade him with everyone else. But back on track - yes, Pierce Brosnan is an underrated Bond and could've been the best Bond yet.

Look I could accept Craig as, say the new agent 009 David King. Do a whole series of 009 movies starring him, and I will watch them. But his looks, demeanor, and personality is NOT James Bond. |

You won't believe and will be super excited about who has just been asked to direct the next James Bond film!!! None other than Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has just been asked to direct the next bond movie. Your guess is as good as ours if he will accept!

Christopher Nolan to direct next Bond movie? 'Dark Knight' director to take a 007 turn, sources say Will Christopher Nolan land the next Bond film? The Daily Mail reports that the "Inception" director is in "informal talks" to direct the next James Bond movie, stepping in to direct after Sam Mendes decided not to make the follow-up to 'Skyfall.' Mendes withdrew his hat from the directing ring thanks to a very busy schedule, including several theater commitments. Nolan, as the Mail points out, has a no less packed year ahead. He's currently in pre-production for Anne Hathaway flick "Interstellar."

No way Abrams has time between Star Trek and Star Wars at this point.

I wouldn't get too excited. Nolan was talking about doing Bond 3 years ago before Mendes took on Skyfall.
