PostTue Oct 18, 2005 7:01 pm    Favourite James Bond

Who was your favourite James Bond?

Mine was Roger Moore. He had a lot of fun with the role, and it was very tongue-in-cheek. True, his Bond was a product of his era, but I think his Bond was the most exciting.

I was never the biggest fan of Sean Connery's Bond. He was smooth, and Connery is a good actor, but I found some of the Connery films to be slow and overlong.

Timothy Dalton was a good Bond for the 80s. His portrayal was very close to the Bond of the novels, and it's a shame he didn't do more than two films.

Pierce Brosnan made a good modern Bond and did well in bringing the character into the 90s. He was very, very smooth, and one of the best Bond actors ever.

George Lazenby (who did one film) wasn't to my liking. At 29, I thought he was far too young to make a convincing '00' agent. And I didn't really enjoy his portrayal.

I like Connery, Moore, and Brosnan. I agree with your comments on Brosnan, but I'm not sure who's better amongst those three...

It's what's-his-name, the guy from X-Men, right?

Not sure if he was in X-Men. I know his name is Daniel Craig. Personally, I've never heard of him or seen him in anything.

Connery was and still is my all time favorite. Don't know why, I just liked him better than the rest.

He was good in Goldfinger, probably my favourite non-Moore movie. That was just a classic.

Connery. He was not just a Bond, he was The Original Bond.

Really? I thought the original Bond was several lines in a novel.

Daniel Craig was in Road to Perdition. Thats the only movie I've seen him in. I'd have to go with Connery, although Brosnan is a close second.

Connery, he was the best one. Others, I couldn't watch act simply they didn't do the part well in my opinion.

I said Connery because his acting pretty much revolutinized(sp?) movies.

He still looked good in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. They should make him Bond again.

Yeah, I would also like to see that too. One last bond movie with Sean Connery in it, will make my day.
