Roger Moore has said Idris isn't English..English enough to play Bond, even though he was born in Hackney.
I think he has every Bond attribute you would need except not being the exact colour expected.
I mean he's the whitest black guy on the telly.

As opposed to the Scottish Sean Connery, or the Australian George Lazenby or the Irish Piers Brosnan? Why doesn't he be honest and say Idris Elba isn't white enough? I could at least respect that point of view. Personally I don't think Idris Elba is remotely right for the role because I don't think he's particularly suave. Great actor, but making him James Bond is tokenism of the worst kind

He does love himself and I think he tries a bit too hard to be Sidney Poitier, but I would watch him as Bond.

But I bet you wouldn't watch it with them.

Blacks, that is.

I agree.

And Denzel Washington is the whitest black guy on the telly.

Anyhoops, i don't know, it's probably going to be as entertaining as the previous bonds, but for some reason i've grown out of real bond fandom. Liked them as a kid more, but it's still solid entertainment.

This looks like maybe a more sneaky spy'ey stuff, so not bad.

Can I just say the whole Roger Moore thing is obviously bullshit? People really need to stop reading the Daily Expremail.

Yes, if you read the actual transcript , out of context doesn't cover it, completely made up is moore apt.

I've got tickets booked for the opening night, first Sony 4K showing.

Very enthused by the initial reviews. It has everything I love - womanising, Bond, luxury watches, fast cars, Christoph Waltz and Austria. God I love Austria.

As always, there's more than one Bond girl and Monica Bellucci has aged very well indeed.

Just driven 60 miles round trip to see Everest at the Imax in the Trafford centre, buy the tickets at the machine, go to the ticket guy and he deadpans us...'that was incorrect mate it's not on'.
Much shouting later got refund and 4 guest tickets.
My parting comment to the manager was that I was going home to torrent a movie.

Great actor, just wouldn't work for Bond.

I actually think Tom Hardy could make a pretty good 21st century Bond...with a little work.
