I think you lost what little credibility you had when you suggested that Timothy Dalton was the ugliest James Bond. I suppose you can probably get away with that fantasy on MI6.
Credibility? Surely it is just a matter of opinion we are talking about here.....?

I don't think it is. You can say that you believe Craig is the best actor to play Bond or you like him because it was time to try something new. That's a point of debate. But to say that Timothy Dalton was the least handsome Bond is just ridiculous.
Do you realise how narrow-minded and dense that sounds, bearing in mind the tone and subject of this website?

So you guys saying Craig is the least handsome is ok then....? That isn't just an opinion, a point of view then?

You can get away with that crap on MI6 but not here. When they cast Timothy Dalton did anyone go; "Timothy Dalton? He's fugly! He's short. He doesn't look like Bond."

It is still just an opinion - not fact!! Just because a few of you on here have decided that Craig is ugly, it is still only an opinion. Nothing to do with it being on MI6, or anywhere else for the matter.

So the word hypocrite doesn't spring to mind then..... :wink:

Well, he seems to want to play the emo Bond, so it would be entirely in character if, in Bond 22, he were to dye his hair (and clothes) black and start writing bad poetry.

How on earth do you define betting looking?

Btw being tall, dark and handsome didn't do Tim Dalton much good.
He was totally ignored by the North American public for example.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again James Bond is not supposed to
be a beauty queen!!! :shock:

Daniel Craig is not that ugly in general everyday life but he's very ugly for a James Bond. That's the difference. James Bond is supposed to be a handsome devil. That's part of the character. It's lost with Craig. Who wants to be Craig's Bond?

Craig should not be associated with the word handsome. I accept that their are women out their that find him attractive (Strange I know), but there is no way you can call the crane jumper 'handsome'.

Not at all. She prefers the Broz.

Mrs Skywalker is not a huge Bond fan, but has seen all the films. In her own opinion she felt CR to be the worst Bond film of the entire franchise and Craig just was not good looking enough.

Good idea 'Mr Stromberg'.

Like to see which category you anti-craigers go for.

Incidently, shouldn't there be a fifth category, which says 'He's OK'

Otherwise, ME, Captain Nash, Sweeney, Stocks... etc cant vote!!! :wink:
