I'll only say best and worst.

Best: Sean Connery. I don't need to justify this, it's pretty much a FACT.

Worst: Daniel Craig. He just completely ruined the series. Perhaps I am just associating two of the worst Bond movies ever with their actor. But he just...isn't Bond. He looks half drunk. His voice is weak. He's BLONDE. He overacts massively.

i just want to quote this to rub it in your face later.

i think Ewan McGregor would have made a good Bond, too ^_____^

Yes, because with the likes of The Man With The Golden Gun and Octopussy, it's obvious that the two Craig films are the worst.

*Pretentious snort*

I think his voice is great, and besides, who would've thought that an Anglo-Saxon could be blonde? Crazy stuff.



 

 

1. Sean Connery - the man is brilliant plus his accent is sexy
2. Daniel Craig
3. Timothy Dalton
4. Lazenby
5. Moore
6. Brosnan - I didn't enjoy a single film with him as Bond.



 

1. Sean Connery
2. Roger Moore

3. George Lazenby
4. Timothy Dalton
5. Pierce Brosnan

^ I've seen all 007 movies with these gentlemen, incl. the funny Thunderball remake Never Say Never Again.

Connery was the best and most charismatic movie actor by far, which he proved throughout his career with roles in great movies such as The First Great Train Robbery, The Man Who Would Be King, Robin and Marian, Outland, The Untouchables, The Name of the Rose, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

But imo Connery also benefitted from the facts that
- he was the first 007
- the best Bond movies were created in the cool 60s when he played the character (Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice), which made 007 and himself pop culture icons.

Lazenby was a bit overextended even with this role, but like all Bond movies from the 60s On Her Majesty's Secret Service was great fun (and he had Diana Rigg!).

Moore was the last Bond I really liked, it took some time though...but in the end I learned to appreciate his understatement and self-mockery.

I haven't seen a Bond movie with Daniel Craig yet, but I'm not really interested in Bond movies anymore. The mass media said the same thing about Craig this decade what they said about Dalton in the 80s and Brosnan in the 90s: "Bond reinvented !"



1 - Sean Connery - growing up with Connery in the role he's the archtype and in a sense 'my' Bond.

2 - Daniel Craig - a close second, and so far I think he's worked wonders with the role.

3 - Timothy Dalton - I actually found Dalton a good Bond, and it's funny how they tried a similar reboot with him, making the action grittier, and it was claimed he was 'too hard' and the action was 'too rough' and now look at the reaction with Craig. For me the really under-rated Bond.

4 - Pierce Brosnan - I really judge him based on Goldeneye, where he was very good, although sadly for him they lost the plot again and started to go all 'Roger Moore' with his films

5 - George Lazenby - I think he could have made a good Bond, he's in a good Bond film, but it seems he was poorly advised and managed and it all went pear shaped

6 - Roger Moore - I love Roger Moore, I think he's such a sweet guy, and I actually loved his Bond movies for the daft fun they were, but he was far from my idea of Bond (although in Live and Let Die you got the sense of what might have been if they'd stuck with that feel)



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Writers were hired to begin work on the next film in early 2009, set for release in 2011. Bond 23 is now in pre-production. The film will be set after Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, and Daniel Craig will return as James Bond (he is also contracted for a fourth film). MGM hoped the film would be out in 2010, but the 22nd film left Michael G. Wilson exhausted. In June 2009, Peter Morgan signed to co-write the film with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

Broccoli intends Quantum to reappear and hopes Camille Montes will come back as well. Judi Dench and Jeffrey Wright will most likely return as MFelix Leiter, respectively. Craig and Barbara Broccoli expressed interest in filming in New York City for Bond 23. Craig added, "The relationship between Bond and M is secure and Felix is secure. Let's try and find where Moneypenny came from and where Q comes from. Let’s do all that and have some fun with it." Daniel Craig told fans outside the Schoenfeld theatre in New York after his performance in the play, A Steady Rain, that Bond 23 will begin filming in late 2010.

"Bond 23"... I was expecting something like "Solace in Casinos never dies tomorrow"...

An Anglo-Saxon can be blonde. A Bond cannot.
