Agree with Ken J about Campbell and the rest.

DrSamBeckett, ..occasional odd one liner? How could you forget Craig in Casino Royale dying then coming back to the game and saying: “That last hand, it almost killed me!”

Oh, Green Lantern? Deadpool? I’m all over it. Let’s do it.
(Ryan Reynolds-Wrap Rocks!)

And if the title is “X-Men Origins: Deadpool” (?) does that mean there is no ret-con of “X-Men Origins : Wolverine”? Will Scott Wilson be back as a martial arts/stunt double? Deadpool will wear a mask, right?

There are a few different “Earth” Green Lanterns. The film is based on the Hal Jordan GL (classic story). He’s a fearless test pilot and when a dying member of the GL Corp crash lands on Earth, he passes the ring and mantle to Jordan.

I think the problem is, for me at least, that while the one liner were there and the ones you mentioned are actually pretty funny. I find myself missing the corny gags in a way, the innuendo, I’m not saying make it like the Roger Moore films.

I dont know, maybe Bond just isnt as funny as he used to be, because of this new interpretation of the character. The lack of humour, it just seems really lacking, I think the Brosnan films got the combination right (maybe not Die Another Day) of death and wit.

It appears we have hijacked another topic. Oops!

Keep in mind, the one-liners and dialogue is not the work of Pierce Brosnan. They have a script for that. The reason why Brosnan is criticized is because his acting is usually pretty flat and mediocre. He was alright in Goldeneye because of a good director.

And FYI, Casino Royale had plenty of funny one-liners, but they just weren’t as corny. Come on, don’t tell me you don’t remember the “That last hand, it almost killed me” line, that got me laughing, lol. Or the “Shaken or stirred?” “Do I look like I give a ****?” A little joke reference to the older Bond movies, haha. Or when he orders some crazy concoction (sp?) which was kind of funny in itself. Or on the train, “I’m the money.” “Worth every penny.” Or the gag when the guy mistakened him for the valet. Not a one-liner, but it was pretty humorous. And even while he was being tortured, you must remember the “No! No! No! To the left!!” lol

Bond works well in the real world, the ones i listed above all have realistic stories and are grounded in reality.

But the latest two have been so humourless, a lot of people are now critisising Brosnan which is so unfair, he managed a wonderful balance in his Bond, there could be the hard edged cruel killer, but also never afraid to make a quick quip when a man falls into a printing press and ends up aa a bloody smear. ” They’ll Print Anything These Days”

I want to see Craig do the odd one liner, wouldnt hurt.

And come on, you can’t go wrong with a tank chase through the streets of Russia…

I suppose with Campbell at the helm and Reynolds starring, GL could be pretty good.

I like Reynolds though, he has a good energy and wit about him, but I worry for both of these movies. In fact I worry for anything that comes out of Marvel after Wolverine was allowed to be inflicted on the public.
