Which is preferable?

Post by Saunders »

Or the lesser of two evils, if you like.

A. An ugly classic-style Bond
B. A handsomer Craig-style Bond

The lesser of two weevils?
Depends.

'A. An ugly classic-style Bond' Daniel trying his dower hand at Sean Connery's 007?

'B. A handsomer Craig-style Bond' Hugh Jackman playing 007 the ugly world created for Daniel's 007?

I don't know that I can choose. A actor like Hugh would be refreshing, however the old ugly Bond world is done with. Perhaps even taken too far with the latest film and I don't think it would be interesting.

Daniel trying to play the classic 007 in the classic 007 world would be too painful to watch.

Under these terms I have to go with the least evil Hugh Jackman style actor in Craig-styled Bond becasue they at least would be enjoyable to watch.

I go for B too. At least if a handsome Bond is in a grim movie, one can hope that the next one will be better, whereas Craig in a more traditional Bond film will still be Craig.

You mean just on looks alone? Same writing? Then I'd prefer the classic Bond every time.
