Onatopp was one of the silliest, but I still think Christmas Jones was the worst and only around to make really bad sexual puns.<br /><br />Barry has her good points, and is good in certain roles. But the tough secret agent was really really not one of them. Roman J.

Sounds pretty interesting, have to give it a spin as time allows. <br /><br />I don't know that I'd go for a female Bond. I don't mind other female agents being in the mix, but the character should be male, shouldn't they? I'm not a huge Halle Barry fan either. I'm wondering if her new SF television series will be any good. I'll at least give it a try and hope it's well conceived.

Each time there is a transition it comes up. I'm not sure if the creators are that daring, it could be fun, but some fans would unleash their hatred at the idea, even if it was Emma Watson (who would be great!)<br /><br />They toyed with the concept by adding Halle Barry in "Die Another Day", but that just didn't take off with anyone. Once again, I blame the writers - that movie was such a mess and they didn't really play to Barry's strengths. The whole Jinx spin off idea just fizzled out right there. Roman J.

The screenwriters had lost their way somewhat (after all, it was "the end of history") but Dalton did fine with what he was given.<br /><br />The writers regained their footing with this one. Dalton could have handled it, but there was nothing wrong with Brosnan. I like Dench as M too. I'm already wondering who will fill the Bond role when Craig inevitably moves on. Will they opt for a non-dinosaur? Emma Watson perhaps?<br /><br />Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.com
