Posted April 23, 200619 yr Who has played your favourite Bond? Feel free to post why they were your favourite so far :)
April 23, 200619 yr Easily Timothy Dalton for me Gave Bond a hard, cold, ruthless edge that was the closest to the Bond that Ian Fleming created
April 23, 200619 yr Moore. Although they are all good bonds apart from Lazenby. Conery and Brosnan come a close second.
April 23, 200619 yr Dalton - the best and most underrated Bond. Moore is by far the worst. He is an absolute wooly woofter and the films themselves were pretty bad as well except for about 3. Edited April 23, 200619 yr by Ashley
April 23, 200619 yr What about this Bond? http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39043000/jpg/_39043325_russ272.jpg :rofl:
April 23, 200619 yr Sean all the way, with Dalton a close second. If Dalton had been given a chance and done more films, perhaps I would've chosen him as the best, but Connery gets it because he really defined the role... Moore was the fukkin' pits, and Lazenby as wooden as the Brazilian rain forest, he totally ruined OHMSS, which was otherwise an excellent film; if they did it with Connery or Dalton, it more than likely would've been the best Bond film of all time.... I'm praying for a remake with Daniel Craig, then we can see how the film should have been done....
April 23, 200619 yr Moore is by far the worst. He is an absolute wooly woofter :rofl: Seriously, :rofl: Erm, anyway, I agree with that... only I'd go for Brosnan as the best. He looks like what I'd imagine Bond to look like... if that makes any sense.
April 23, 200619 yr Erm, anyway, I agree with that... only I'd go for Brosnan as the best. He looks like what I'd imagine Bond to look like... if that makes any sense. Brosnan was okay, but compared to Connery, he's average, he didnt really portray that ruthless streak in Bond with much credibility, Connery and Dalton got it down perfectly, along with the suave stuff as well....
April 24, 200619 yr Author I think Connery is the only truly believable tough guy out of all the bonds, and I enjoyed his portrayals very much. But I like everything from a film and an actor, so overall I would choose Roger Moore as the best :) (prancing dandy that you say he is GF :D ) I would agree, Pierce Brosnan is the most suave and sophisticated looking Bond, he would closely rival Sean Connery for second place in my opinion. Timothy Dalton played a mean and moody Bond, but for me lacked sophistication and the looks a true Bond would need. I am sure he has had his moments with the ladies, but he is no Elvis to look at! George Lazenby was as stiff as a board in his movie, but had the physical presence and good looks to have been a success, if he had been given enough time to develop his acting within the role. As for Mr Craig, I think he is lacking in the looks department, and from what I have seen of him(which isn't much) he doesn't strike me particularly as a tough guy either. I feel the final nail in his coffin for me, even before I have seen the new film, is the fact that he can't even drive a manual car :o Putting him in as the worlds top secret agent seems wrong in the way that casting Rowan Atkinson as Rocky Balboa would :D I know it's early days for him, so I will give him the chance, but I can't make my growing reservations go away, at the moment!
April 24, 200619 yr George Lazenby was as stiff as a board in his movie, but had the physical presence and good looks to have been a success, if he had been given enough time to develop his acting within the role. ! I've seen Lazenby in other films, he could've been in 20-odd more Bond films, it wouldn't have made a whit of difference, he is a BAD actor..... There's far too much pre-occupation with the looks, actual acting talent is the fundamental thing here, Moore didn't have it, neither did Lazenby, whereas Dalton and Connery had it in spades; Connery in particular has a charisma and screen presence that Moore just cannot match.... Brosnan had charisma and looks sure, but the actual acting talent wasn't really that great, every film I see him in he basically plays the same part, I certainly couldnt see him in something like "The Man Who Would Be King" or "The Untouchables"....

For someone without acting talent, his isn't exactly begging in the streets for a living is he :D I can't agree with you on this at all, he has lots of skill, charisma and charm. I think he is a versatile actor, who has played numerous demanding roles, and I am sure he would have been able to turn his hand to a role in either of those movies :) Our opinions will just have to differ on this issue!

I cant see Moore being able to portray a tough-talking, hard-drinking Irish/American cop with any conviction at all, ditto the Army Officer in "Man Who Would Be King". I've never been particularly impressed with Moore in any film I've seen him in. Ironically, given my age, Moore is the first Bond I remember, so wouldn't that make me more defensive of him? (As I am with Tom Baker as Dr Who...), but I'm not. As soon as I saw "Goldfinger" I just knew that Connery was the man and everyone else was a pale imitator.... And there's plenty of c**p actors who somehow manage to make a decent living in films - Arnie, Van Damme, Seagal, to name three......
April 26, 200619 yr Brosnan was okay, but compared to Connery, he's average, Actually liked him in this http://www.axelmusic.com/resources/covers/7/796019791595.jpg Hope D always good to see in films
April 26, 200619 yr and Layer Cake was enjoyable! you are thinking it was a good idea that Revlover was being developed at around the same time
