    With this post, I'm reacting more to trashing of Statham, because I'm a huge fan of his and I've watched more of his movies (even the really bad ones) than Craig's; e.g., my secret, guilty pleasures. IMO, Statham and Craig are not polar opposites but are different cuts from the same quality of meat, though the difference is that Craig had the opportunity to attend charm school so to speak.

    I say this as a compliment to Craig, because I see so much Statham in his take on Bond in contrast to his predecessors in terms of his two-fisted rawness and to me, that's the appeal and novelty of the "Craig experiment." It's almost as if a Statham-type took pains to hone his acting skills in earlier movies (Road to Perdition and Layer Cake come to mind), who then was classed-up with a huge, EON effort (Martin Campbell and Paul Haggis retooling the mold).

    Yes, I remember Higgins posting that he wasn't quite fully recovered
    From some facial surgery. Before starting filming on AVTAK.

    Higgins was in AVTAK? :D :))

    :)) have a closer look at the footwear of the French taxi driver ;)
    In GoldenEye when Xenia is romping with the general, to get the
    Shadow on the wall of their interaction, another couple had to
    Act it out on the floor ..... well ............. Once again it can be revealed
    That Xenia's double was our own, European friend. ;) the General's
    Double has always been in doubt, but an interest in knives, is a clue ? :p
    Hence why today they still bicker like an old married couple. :))

    Statham looks more like a thug than James Bond -- he could play a South Africa hit man or something, but I wouldn't want him as Bond.

    That's what I was thinking. And can he do accents? He certainly doesn't speak like any previous Bonds have, and his accent doesn't fit with the character. He's too big an actor to be Bond anyway, and he'd be 50 when starting as Bond if he replaced Daniel Craig in the next film.

    Plus, I've only ever seen Statham play one character in every film he's done. He does well in the sort of film he usually does but... I don't seen any further depth in his acting than that. He's certainly not suited to the part.

    Also, I am bald but I don't want to see a bald Bond. Bond is not bald.

    I think we should be thankful for who we've got at the moment, before
    Wishing for someone new. ;) " You know something Bond fans, you're

    The big Question is, would he be able to play the various Emotions that come with Bond? If you look at his past Films, most his Characters are rather limited in there emotional output.

    I love old Statham, always gives a good performance and can kick a
    thug in the face with the best of them. -{ but for me, he's just not
    Bond.
    Yes SM, Higgins's performance made TND for me. ;)

    Statham is a talented actor, and can do a nice line in comedy ;) to be
    Honest I think he's better than some of the films he's been in, so I'd
    Love to see him as a villain, it would give us a great final confrontation
    Scene. -{
