James Bond - 007

<font color="#00ccff">I think Connery is the all time classic Bond, however if there were ever someone born to take hisplace it was Pierce Brosnan and he should have done it while Remmington Steele was still airing.

EDit: After reading other peoples impression of Brosnan, maybe Im just remembering Remmington Steele and filling in blanks that Brosnan isn't actually covering. </font>

<font color="#00ccff">Out of curiosity were you old enough to be interested in TV shows when Remmington Steele was hot? The personna Brosnan had in that show wouldhave made a perfect segue into a Bond role. Err in my opinion [img]smile.gif[/img]

The age thing is not a shot, I was just curious if you were old enough to be interested in the series. </font>

That's my competition. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

<font color = red> Belle </font><font color = aqua> has great taste. Pierce Brosnan is definately the most handsome. Not quite as good as Viggo Mortenson, but definately up there....and he's certainly the best Bond.</font>

Well, I'm going to be contraversial. As usual. I say Dalton.

My reasons are that Bond, if you really think about it is quite a tragic character. The only two bonds to have really captured this, in my view, are Dalton and Brosnan (to a lesser extent). Bond lives for the defense of his country but his country doesn't ever really give anything back to him. His entire life revolves around violence and death, he is quite a dark character. So I think he needs a sort of dark, soul searching, persona to go with this. Plus I think Dalton had the best film to date - Licence to Kill.

My least favorite is Moore. Argh! Bond is not supposed to be a comedian! Just in general Moore was far too cheesey to be a proper Bond, he got away with being kitsch, but never actually very good.

Personally I like Brosnan the most. Connery is great too, but I just like Brosnan more for some reason. He just seems more "smooth".

I actually agree with most of your sentiment and I really liked Dalton at first, because of the fresh take. It's just that I like Brosnan's interpretation better. Connery is still (overall) the best IMO - as I said by his stellar acting.
