The New Bond

All in all, I really liked the new Bond movie. I think all of those geeks who said that Daniel Craig couldn't handle the roll need a life. Seriously. It's not Lord of the Rings, after all. ;-)

I did think the pacing was a little off, going from insanely fast in the fight scenes to mind-numbingly slow in the casino scenes. Of course, a big part of that was the original source material.

Daniel Craig did an excellent job with playing a much more nuanced and complex Bond. If I have one grip it's only that his physical toning seemed uneven to me. He has clearly spent a lot of time in the gym. And from his pecs up he looks phenomenal, and his ass and legs look good. But comparatively speaking, his mid section was not very toned. Not flabby in any way. Just thick and without definition. It might have been something that they were going for. Like how models do a lot of weights, and then drink milk to cover hide all of the definition.

The whole package with Craig just seemed off. Like there was a knotty part at the top of a stocky base.

Speak for yourself - the new bond is a nice hot package!

I'm with you Lori! Yummy.
I kind of liked the way he was built. It felt a little less idealized. At any rate, yummy.

Ok, ok. No doubt the sexiest Bond ever. But... Well, certainly his butt was well toned. Anyway... But...

I think that if you were to take a picture of him, and cut it off just below the pecs, that you would look at that picture and expect a body builder body below it. With the full rack. The bulging quads. That sort of thing. Where in reality, he's not very ripped below the pecs (with the exception of his ass).
