I voted Craig, but I haven't watched many 007 movies, the two Craig ones and one of two Brosnan. But since I absolutely loved Casino Royale, I'm going with Craig

 

 

Pierce Brosnan was in 4 james bond movies

GoldenEye
Tomorrow Never Dies  
The World Is Not Enough 
Die Another Day

I know that. But I only watched GE and I think The World is Not Enough (I'm not sure, it could've been TND, it was a long time ago)

Sean Connery was the best. Pierce Brosman was the last good Bond.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Connery was the best bond, Brosnan had the best movies.

Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day, The World is not enough!!! You can't touch brosnan (unless your halle berry)



Die Another Day was the worst Bond film ever made. Worst plot, worst editing, worst gadgets, worst characters, worst acting, worst everything. That movie made me stupider. The camerawork and editing really didn't help it at all. Worst song too. Worst intro montage. Worst one-liners. Worst Bond girl. And James Bond gets captured and tortured for months and grows a beard? Fuck that shit.

You forgot to put Barry Nelson and David Niven on your list, but I doubt they'd get any votes anyway since nobody's ever heard of 'em.

I can't pick a favorite between Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan right now... so I'll vote for Dalton since he doesn't have any votes yet, and because he was amazing in Flash Gordon and Hot Fuzz.



I do hope that Craig doesn't have to go through a multitude of crappy films like many of the other Bond stars had to go through. Even Connery had a few stinkers to compliment his great films. And don't even get me started on some of Roger Moore's shit. By the way, Connery is by far the best. He combines the snarl and toughness of Craig with the wit and charming smile of Moore, and removes all the crappiness that would normally result from a combination like that. He is Bond in essence. Just watch the first 30 minutes of Goldfinger if you need any more proof. He even managed to turn a terrible idea like You Only Live Twice into something magical.

Here's how I review each Bond's performance:

Connery: Had an amazing first five movies, got called back after Lazenby, and was the victim of a movie that would be bad if Jesus himself was the star.

Lazenby: Featured in only one movie, but was great at the role. Could have done with another movie.

Moore: An unfortunate combination of being an average Bond and starring in terrible movies didn't help him. Out of 8 movies, maybe about 2 of them were good, and 2 of them were so bad that people wanted to shoot themselves in the head with their own golden guns (I refer to "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "Moonraker").

Dalton: One gem, one stinker. He didn't have enough movies to fully show off his talent, and that's a shame.

Brosnan: A pretty boy as Bond certainly wasn't what the series needed, and he was the unfortunate victim of some pretty bad movie ideas. I actually enjoyed The World is Not Enough because of the fantastic girls, but that was about it. Goldeneye was pretty good, but couldn't hold a candle up to some of the Connery classics.

Craig: The other extreme of Roger Moore, in my opinion. Very gritty with very little corniness and humor. He has some clever lines, but I can never shake the feeling that he only says them to distract someone before he goes to strangle them.

Yeah, Die Another Day was about as bad as a movie can get.

@Montana: I also enjoyed The World is Not Enough.  Definitely the best of the Brosnan Bond movies alongside Goldeneye.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
