Hmm... I think the vast majority of people agree that Sean Connery was the best, if not Bond himself. Also looks like Roger D. is the least liked. No surprise really.

I have to agree with the sentiment that Sean Connery is the best overall actor out of the four men, and that might have a bit to do with it. Of course, the accent is quite awesome.

Pierce Brosnan isn't bad as Bond, but to me, there's something missing in his Bond. I'm not sure what it is exactly... he just seems to be missing something Bondish. Anyone else have this feeling?

The Bond most people forget is George Lazenby, who also played Jarod's father on The Pretender. The Bond most people should forget is Timothy Dalton (no, I didn't like him very much).

Belle doesn't think that Pierce Brosnan misses anything with his interpretation of Bond. That's my competition. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Pirece Brosnan is my favourite Bond. Goldeneye was the first Bond film that I saw in a cinema and it's still my favourite. (best Bond game ever as well)

Interesting Bond Fact No. 1 - Brosnan's contract to play James Bond specifies that while contracted as Bond he is not permitted to appear in any other film wearing a tuxedo.

Interesting Bond Fact No. 2 - Actors from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have played Bond.

Interesting Bond Fact No. 3 - The budget for Dr. No was only $1,000,000, but when costs overran by $100,000 United Artists wanted to pull the plug, fearing they would never recoup their outlay.

Sean Connery is by far the best. I thought George Lazenby was ok (nice to hear from another Pretender fan-- I watched that show religiously until it went off the air. I was left with a cliffhanger and no resolution, because we never got the follow-up movies here! [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] )and while I grew up mainly with Roger Moore, I didn't like the way he turned the series more toward comedy. For that reason, I liked Timothy Dalton, because he brought back the "I'm-gonna-kick-your-butt!" style of Bond. Pierce Brosnan is also more than acceptable to me. I always liked him as an actor, and he strikes a good balance between the humour and the more serious aspects of the character.
Does anyone else remember Casino Royale? I forget who played Bond there... I keep thinking David Niven, but that doesn't seem quite right...

Lavindathar · 11-04-2002, 09:56 AM

I'd say Connery, even though he is before my time!

Lol, I've seen em all, Brosnan in my opinion is ok, but he doesn't suit it that well. He seems sleazy!

Bastet · 11-04-2002, 10:12 AM

My favourite Bond is still Sean Connery, he is just perfect! I also like Timothy Dalton but he is much better in historical movies.

It was David Niven. Along with Peter Sellers and some other that-time stars. But it was Bond comedy/parody and not a "regular" Bond movie (although Ian Fleming did write the script).

Neuro.

Don't forget that Woody Allen as Jimmy Bond in Casino Royale. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

Arnabas, Belle and I have 6 tapes of Pretender episodes, as well as the movies "Pretender 2001" and "Island of the Haunted". From what I have seen, Mr. Sickle has the plots for the next several movies already worked out; all they need now is to get them made.... [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]
