For me...Craig & Connery are tied for the best Bond's. As for the rest...throw their names in a bucket a pick em'....it dosen't really matter And my favorite movies are Casino Royal & Goldfinger.

Die Another Day is nothing like the newer two James Bond Movies. The newer movies don't have a lot of gadgets, but they have good action and are more realistic then the many of the previous Bond Movies. You should at least give them a shot.

If you "grew up" watching Brosnan as Bond then your childhood was already wrecked and you're too young to have an opinon that matters anyway. The only people who should be allowed to say that are those who've been alive since the beginning of Bond films.

Daniel Craig saved the series, yes, if you like cheesy, campy, gadget filled frivolity then maybe Moore is the right guy, and Brosnan for that matter. But I like my James Bond serious, occasionally witty and lethal. Craig looks like a guy that could kill you, Brosnan looks like a waiter.

You couldn't have gotten it at best buy 3 years ago. It wasn't available.

I only agree with the Sean Connery part.

Best
1. Sean Connery
2. Pierce Brosnan
3. Moore

I'll start us off:

Best 1) Moore - I know he's not everyone's favourite, but for me Moore is BOND, simple as that, I grew up with his films and I just like the way Moore plays Bond, I really don't understand why his films get so much stick, films like Live and Let Die, Man with the Golden Gun, Spy Who Loved Me & For Your Eyes Only are all classic Bond films IMO.

2) Dalton - I very nearly put Dalton top of the list, IMO his two films, The Living Daylights & Licence to Kill are two of the best of the entire series and I loved his portrayal as Bond, I personally thought he nailed the part and it's a real shame he only done just the two films.

3) Connery - I like Connery and he will always have the advantage of being the first actor to play Bond, he also starred in one of the the best Bond's ever in Goldfinger, but for me I just prefer Moore & Dalton.

4) Brosnan - I personally think this is where the Bond films stopped feeling like Bond films, out of the four films Brosnan did only Goldeneye was solid the other three he did were mediocre to average at best, I don't think it was that Brosnan himself was a bad Bond but his films were certainly poor.

Worst 5) Craig - I've got nothing against Craig as an actor, he's good as an action actor but I just never feel as though I'm watching Bond when I watch his films, his films just feel like any other action movie, and out of all the actor's to play Bond he's the one actor that just does not look the part, whenever I see him I just don't feel as though he's Bond, something about him just does not fit in my eyes.


NOTE: I have never seen OHMSS from start to finish, so I can't comment on Lazenby, however I did try to watch it once and I could not get into it at all.


So what about the rest of you guys?

Cheers!

JW
OMG your joking right?

We need to get a poll going for this.... It's too bad people are prejudiced based on which bond they grew up with. I grew up watching Moore & Dalton and i definately wouldnt put them at the top. Here's my list...

1. Connery- Especially "from Russia with Love and Goldfinger". A cold killer but could also get the ladies. Connery is the reason there is a bond series.
2. Craig- I thought Casino Royale was great but Quantum kinda sucked. More physical than the other bonds but also more vulnerable emotionally.
3. Moore- His best were "spy who loved me" and "for your eyes only". Charming , but a lot of his movies are kinda silly.
4. Brosnan- Golden Eye was really good, Tomorrow never Dies was ok. The others sucked a big one. I think the gadgets were getting too out of hand when he came along. Brosnan also said he wished his bond could have been hurt more. ( he never seemed to be in any real danger) Also the CGI in those films was obvious.
5. Dalton- I like him as an actor but he didnt fill the suit out. He always looked too small and child like. Its too bad, i think he was mis-cast. He is definitely one of the most underrated actors.
6. Lazenby- Havent seen the one he did in a while but i remember it was pretty cheesy. the guy had kind of a big head and looked gorilla like. I hear he turned down the role after OHMSS because he was afraid of type casting. (thank god!)

Well there it is!

Hi! to all,

Good to see lots of different views on everyone's favourite Bond, I just have to say that I agree 100% with those of you that say Dalton was playing Bond in a hard style way before Craig, so I still find it really strange that Dalton is so underrated by so many people, I truly think he was a fantastic Bond and the only thing that went against him is that he only made just the two films, but the big difference to me between the Dalton Bond films and Craig's Bond films is that IMO the Dalton films feel like true Bond films, but Craig's films while good action films don't feel very Bond like to me.

Finally, as for Moore, those of you that say his films are silly, fair enough, but personally I just don't agree, he made seven Bond films and I think only Moonraker was silly, I don't see much wrong with the other six films he done other than he started to look a little to old in his last couple of outing's, also when people say Moore joked around to much that's another thing I find strange because even Connery had plenty of silly one liners and jokey moments, you expect that in a Bond film, so why some people say Moore was to jokey as Bond I just don't get it to be honest.

Cheers!
JW
