Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

I've just read this on the Guardian website and wondered what you think:

Is he meant to be a critic, sounds to me he just has an anti Connery thing going on, me, I've enjoyed just about everything Mr C has done, albeit some of them may have been roles for a man a few years younger but hey, he still got the job done. Sad to see him hanging his cap, :(

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

That's what I thought - yeah, he's done some utter rubbish over the years, but surely that's been outweighed by the good stuff:

Highlander allows Highlander 2 + Finding Forrester
The Rock allows Medicine Man + Entrapment, that sort of thing.

I even thought that The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was good - so what if he's always the same character, it's what he does!

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

He has been in some good films and some bad films. The thing is, whatever film he's in, he is just Sean Connery being Sean Connery. :zzz:

True, and making a bundle to boot :p: nice one

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

Very very tue :)

A russian sub captain with a thick scottish accent - brilliant :D

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

very true - although one where he did seem to break that mould, was Zardoz - remember that?

- very funny if not taken too seriously ;)

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

I was going to mention Zardoz as well :D

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

i thought the person who wrote the article may have been having a bad day whilst writing that ;)

i quite liked the league of extraordinary gentlemen, though, so I can't really agree with the totally negative attitude the critic has there :)

Surely Highlander beats that one :D - I can just picture the meeting:

'Hmm, we need someone to play a 500 year old Scot - I know, Christopher Lambert!'

'Errr, he's French'

'Yes, I know, but he can do a Scottish accent. Right, who can we get to play to play our Egyptian, Ramirez?'

'Hmm I can't think of any Egyptian actors off the top of my head sir'

'No, it's alright - I've got it! Sean Connery - he'll be perfect for the role!'

'So, let me see sir. We've got a French Scotsman, and a Scottish Egyptian with a Spanish name? It's gonna be huge'

'Hmm, talking of huge, let's get Brian Mays hair to do the soundtrack!'

I don't care about his poorer movies. He's the definitive James Bond, and that's good enough for me. He deserves God status for that alone ! ;)

:tu: :tu:

As a massive JB fan I'd have to agree. While reading the books, you could imagine Connery as Bond - fantastic.

Please will someone rep Nugget for the above posting because I have to spread it about some more.He's made me spill my tea. :rofl:

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

Done

Re: Sean Connery - Genuis or crap?
 

I can't. I gotta spread it about first! And he really deserves more than one for that! :D
