Well, since connery is too old...I always liked Brosnan. Craig does a good job,
and for todays action-addled movie watchers he does have an edge to him.

making m a woman was a mistake.. the old school bond movies were so good because the gadgets were so futuristic.. now its reality for the most part.the stunts seemed better ..live let die..my fave.

I thought Roger Moore had the most fun with it, but based on the novels, I have to say Sean Connery was the truest to the book character.

Man..loved those on ABC Sunday nights when I was a kid...oh the hormones when the Bond women were on:wf

I agree with Connery, also liked Roger Moore (The Saint). Work in the Theater when Live and Let Die was released, seen it 300 times. Like the new Bond, lot's of action but, need some more Halle Barre's walking out of the ocean.

Roger Moore. Of course I was born in '70, so all of the Bond movies I saw for 15 years was with Moore, it was later when I saw Connery so I was used to seeing Moore. I wish they had a 2 hour movie compiled of just the intros from the movies. All of those naked sillouettes were very scintillating as a youngster.

Danzig 03-03-2010 06:04 PM

sean connery hands down the best bond.

Craig reminds me a lot of myself.

I was born in 71, Roger Moore was my first introduction to Bond. I thought he was very cool in the roll, he would get my vote. Having said that Daniel Craig is very good, and is breathing new life into a franchise. I think the person that is sorely missed is the late great Desmond Llewelyn who played the master of the gadgets "Q" in 17 Bond films, he was great! I don't believe anyone could come along and do as wonderfu of a job in that character as Desmond Llewelyn.

For Your Eyes Only - favorite.

Julie Roberts - not the best bond girl, but the best bond eye-candy.

There was a Charlie's Angels episode (Shelly Hack 4th season I think), involving Timothy Dalton as a jewel thief. Farrah Fawcett showed up for that episode playing Dalton's girlfriend. As they set up the investigation, they described Dalton's character as a James Bond type.

Hmm!! Foreshadowing?

I'm not sure on this, but heard that Roger Moore was first choice before Connery, and Moore's contract for The Saint kept them from getting Moore in the 1st place.
