Hmm. It's not like every previous Bond was gorgeous. Granted, they're more pleasing to the eye than this Craig guy. But they'll probably clean him up.
Nate's got the right idea. If he can do the part justice, then good on him.
I was never a diehard Bond fan. It was my assumption that Connery was widely accepted as the greatest Bond.
