This guy is my fitness level goal... I think it takes about 9 months of exercise to go from fat ass computer slob to 007. On topic, this guy was a cool Bond I thought, better than Remington Steele or (horrors) Roger Moore!

Roger Moore ruined Bond, and despite Pierce Brosnan's not-so-bad-efforts, it's yet to recover.

If they make this super dark, maybe even with some politics, it might become worthwhile.

Otherwise, it's the most over-flogged dead horse of all time.

I have a lot of respect for Pierce, Tailor of Panama was great, and Krupo's right the Matador was *AWESOME*. His turns as Bond were probably my least favorite roles for him, but the whole franchise has been pretty stale for a LONG time- I don't blame him for the boring films. Roger Moore made at least one good Bond movie- For Your Eyes Only, and he had a great career before Bond.

As for the new guy, well, we'll see this fall. Hopefully the series will become more character-focussed, there will be less of a focus on BS gadgetry, and the plots will be a bit more plausible. Bond is a very intriguing character, and he's a really cold, almost sociopathic SOB. Maybe this movie will bring those aspects to the forefront again? Hopefully.

I think Clive Owen realized that being cast as James Bond locks you into a franchise.

Name another movie that Roger Moore has been in? Pierce Brosnan? See.
