Jeff Goldbum is not classically good looking. He’s, in fact, empirically pretty ugly. Daniel Craig is much closer to “classically handsome.” This is where you’ve revealed that you just have a bug about Craig. I mean, come ON.
And when did James Bond need to be classically handsome? He needs to be sexy. And Craig is. If you don’t get that, just consider yourself whooshed and move on, is my recommendation. Plenty of other people do get it.
I actually think he is kind a cute…he is going to Rock in the movie…here are some photos of him looking Handsome:)
Many people have mentioned L4yer Cake. I just got Love is the Devil from Netflix. Apparently it’s another good film if you want to see a lot of Daniel Craig.
I’ll be back once I’ve had a chance to watch it.
I have completely changed my mind about this. At first I agreed that Daniel Craig was not handsome enough to play Bond. But since I wasn’t going to watch a Bond film anyway, I figured what the hey.
But now after seeing the trailer, I’m thinking, “That man is hot!” and I even plan to watch the first Bond movie I’ve seen since the early 80’s.
I’m with lissener. I can’t even see Brosnan’s face, it’s just a big blur. There’s no there there. This new guy, holy crap. I’m planning to go out to a Bond flick for the first time since I was a teenager because of what he’s doing to just my TV screen. Not appropriate to the role? The hell you say. The problem with Bond became the way he just swaggered through, almost a parody of himself. This guy is fresh and intense. And very good-looking.
Wow, this thread is already three pages long and I just saw the movie poster for the first time today. The moment I saw it, my eyes locked on Daniel Craig and I said to myself, “now why can’t they get somebody like THAT to play bond!?” Then I noticed the way the ad played on the two O’s in the movie title and worked in the Bond 007 gun logo just below. Oh, he IS playing Bond! :smack:
Got that? I didn’t know it was a 007 ad but James Bond was my first thought when I saw Craig.
After the mistakes that were Timothy Dalton (Boy Bond) and Remmington What’s-His-Name Brosnan, Craig is finally somebody who has the Bond Presense.
Apparently he’s also got the Bond presents.
I’ve got a strange idea, why don’t we wait and see the movie before we determine whether or not he is a good James Bond. From purely a looks perspective, I buy him as James Bond long before Pierce Brosnan. I might have bought Pierce as someone who works for Antiques Roadshow but not for bond.
This is a quote from someone who has actually seen the movie…
My personal first choice to be the new Bond would have been Colin Salmon, but I’ll accept Daniel Craig, especially as the nasty sledgehammer Bond needs to be. I just watched the trailer again: Craig is vicious and indeed sociopathic…but fun to watch.
I don’t understand how you can link to those (awesome) illustrations, which show a man with extremely thick, dark hair, dark eyes, curved eyebrows, a strong chin, and an unquestionably handsome yet rugged look, and then say they have anything in common with Craig.
Well, I have to say I’m really impressed: MetaCritic has Casino scoring at 80 (the same score as Little Miss Sunshine) and RottenTomatoes at 96%. Everything I’ve read has been very very good.
