    I think Dolph Lundgren is more wooden than any of them which is surprising for a bloke who is a legitimate genius in real life.</p></blockquote>

    Sly to the makers of Masters of the Universe. Dolph was of course He Man in that particularly shitty film. <br><br>
    But Dolph is really 3rd tier when you rate these action heroes. 1st is obviously Arnie, Sly and Chuck. 2nd is guys like VD and Segal.

    Bruce Willis was a great action hero courtesy of the Die Hard franchise, and the guy could act.

    Watched Mothers Day which has Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts and Jason Sudeikis in the cast. Thought it would be a comedy. Only funny bit would be the actors, director, screenwriters and producers laughing at you for wasting two hours on this crap.

    <p>No he wasn't, he was more the smartass hero, but he was a contemporary albeit an unlikely one after his start in Moonlighting</p>

    <p>Watched Jason Bourne on Saturday and it didn't disappoint.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Just great entertainment and thoroughly watchable.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Not likely to win an academy award but then that sort of movie isn't intended to do so.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It was edge of the seat stuff and whilst it wrapped up some of the lose ends from the previous movies, it has opened up a new possibilities for future movies.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>4 out 5 edge of the seats.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Oh yeah, and the new CIA chick was super hot in a nerdy way.</p>

    <p>Central Intelligence:</p>

    <p>Bad reviews, funny movie, The Rock is funny as fudge. Kevin Hart is annoying as ever in that annoying guy role he plays but it doesn't go too far.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Aaron Paul says bitch - for all you Breaking Bad fanbois.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>3.5 can you smell what The Rock is cooking out of 5.</p>

    <p>Is there any benefit to re-watching the 4th one, Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner? Or do they just forget that one ever happened?</p>

    <p>No need as it doesn't even rate a mention. It's back to Bourne and what the series does best.</p>

    <p>Some of them...Pierce Brosnan maybe. Definitely not George Lazenby who whilst being a pretty boy with questionable acting chops was actually a legitimate tough fluffybunny in real life.</p>

    <p>I don't get the lack of love for Pierce Brosnan. I actually thought he was good and his "Bond" lifted the series from where Timothy Dalton had left if.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Certainly the fans of the series didn't really take to Dalton's Bond although I also thought the Dalton Bond wasn't bad.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I thought Brosnan did a pretty good job of reviving the series and especially his first Bond movie, was pretty damn good with Michelle Yeoh.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I do admit that the last one was pretty lame especially surfing that tsunami.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>BTW, Bourne would destroy Bond and he doesn't even get all the gadgets    :fishing:</p>

    <p>I thought Brosnan was ok, but most of the films he made were a little too much erring on the side of bullshit for me.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'm going to be pissed if Idris Elba is the next Bond.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>For the reason that is the elephant in the room.</p>

    <p>All Bonds had their good and bad points, I like Connery,Moore, Lazenby and Craig equally followed by Dalton and then Brosnan.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I get pissed off with the whole "let's have a black bond" or "let's have a chick as Bond"</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>FUCK</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>RIGHT</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>OFF</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Is it a crime to not be fucken PC in this world and actually keep the character as he is written ?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Shit, I had enough stress coping with a blond bloke playing him, thankfully Craig turned out to be awesome.</p>
