Ranking the Bond actors

What do you think of this? Quite unusual that Daniel "the best actor" Craig isn't praised as the best thing since Connery.All the other articles seem to be forcing that...

Wow, hadn't seen this, even though it is nearly 3 months old. Craig below Lazenby, LOL.

The poll complements all the actors. Of course I just like the serious Connery/Craig movies. :twisted:

Great flick Kris. I have watched it 20 times on cable tv. :up:..............Prince William and Prince Harry, who visited the cast and crew of Star Wars last week at London's Pinewood Studios, have reportedly filmed cameos as Stormtroopers in the upcoming movie in the franchise.

Over and over again I am suprised this is the guy who plays Bond. But even though I dislike Craig for various reasons(complete lack of respect for such an iconic role,his lack of class and behaviour, etc...) I think Barbara and co. should get a greater part of a blame. She is after all the one hired him and changed everything about Bond and is the one who actually aproved of this dismal piece of "twist" in SP.
How anyone actually even thought of this Blofeld/brother thing is mind boggling.

The first overseas box office is in for Captain America: Civil War. The Marvel comic book sequel, which pits Captain America against Iron Man in a battle of ideals, began its overseas launch 1.5 weeks ahead of its North American debut, which is par for the course for the MCU going back to Iron Man 2.

The film opened in (deep breath) Belgium, Colombia, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, South Korea, Luxembourg, Norway, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and Vietnam. And in those overseas territories, the Walt Disney film earned a whopping $14.9 million.

For recent comparisons, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice grossed $7 million on its first day in overseas play, opening on Wednesday in twelve territories expanding to the entire world on Thursday and Friday and snagging $44m heading into the Fri-Sun weekend. Captain America 3 will open slowly per usual for Marvel. It will expand to 63 markets over this weekend for what we all presume will be a massive overseas bow. It will open day-and-date in China (on May 6th), as did Iron Man 3 three summers ago. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Saw a story that had profit for BvS at under $300 million, this was published at week 3 for BvS and most of the money came from toys and home video.
The point of the story was man of steel made more because it cost less.

Moviepilot.com's Katie Granger: "Captain America: Civil War isn't just a great superhero movie — it's a great movie, balancing serious themes based upon the actions of well-developed and motivated characters with laugh-out-loud jokes and over-the-top action sequences.........But more pertinently, it might just be Tony Stark's best outing yet; and in terms of character and performance it's definitely the shining star of Downey Jr.'s take on the long-running Marvel character. As it turns out, after Civil War we may never actually need that Iron Man 4." (our favorite FBF will love this :!: )

It should do 90% the box office of The Avengers films.

Captain America: Civil War continued to expand around the world yesterday, and the Marvel superhero sequel earned an additional $23.8 million after adding 15 territories. The film, playing in 30 territories as of yesterday, has made $38.7m worldwide as it further expands over the weekend. It will play in 63 markets this weekend. The film topped the box office in every market in which it played, with a two-day total not far off from the $44.8m two-day total for Avengers: Age of Ultron.

We'll see. Even without Will Smith, those nasty aliens and their technology are something that audience cannot take their eyes off of.
FBF won't like this news: Boxoffice.com: Twitter activity for Independence Day: Resurgence has been underwhelming thus far and suggests that the film is unlikely to experience a break-out performance. Estimate: Independence Day: Resurgence Jun 24, 2016---- $68,000,000 opening weekend :shock: -----total USA run--- only $175,000,000 :shock:
