Am watching Daniel Craig....I am thinking he may be my favorite 007...I did like Peirce Brosnan too. What are your votes ?
I think the best James Bond was Sean Connery
@goldenvalleyguy I agree, I grew up with both but mostly Roger Moore.
Sean Connery! ?????
@LibrePenseur where is the emoji on here for "melts into a pile of mush on the floor after seeing that"? Nice!
The only Bond movie I have seen is Goldfinger so I pick whichever one played in that one
I will be a lone voice here. I can't bear James Bond films. Sorry.
Misogynistic man travels around world embroiled in over the top, unbelievable story lines, often infused with the subtle scent of racism and colonialism - shagging and discarding various women along the way (who's only purpose is to provide eye candy) to a predictable 'good guy beats bad guy' ending.
Cue titles of silhouettes of naked women writhing to the Bond theme.
Daniel Craig is far better, but Brosnan is a close 2nd.
Wow, excellent question. Huge Bond fan. It's easier for me to say which Bonds I didn't favor:
george lazenby
and maybe, timothy dalton.
I've had a long love affair with the Bond franchise (what dude hasn't?). My favorite classical Bond was Connery and my favorite film from his period is Diamonds Are Forever. I liked Roger Moore as well, and Man With The Golden Gun. I've enjoyed them all to some degree. My least favorite is Timothy Dalton. He's a good actor, and likable, but he's TOO nice to play Bond. Brosnan was good, but he was pretty Meh for me. I love him in other things. Daniel Craig is, IMHO, the best Bond ever. He's gritty and tough, yet still suave. I think he's the most believable, bad-ass Bond.
I dropped the franchise when I became a man. Bond or Batman? Neither.
Big Bond fan. It's my my all-time favorite franchise. I rank them:
Connery > Craig > Dalton > Moore > Brosnan > Lazenby
I respect all of them.
?
It was a spoof
@LenHazell53 Really? I thought it was a documentary. Go figure!
Sean Connery of course but Daniel Craig makes a great Bond. I think he's too old to do it again though. Idris Elba... Maybe, or a female bond?
@Omen6Actual yeah, you're right, but it would be a fun spin off. Maybe that's just me fantasising about hot kick ass girls and falling into the looks are everything trap. Maybe a "plus" size homely ex marine with brains (bond was never big on brains), James' love child as a shock twist...
There's no need to pull a Ghostbusters because we have Atomic Blonde. Kick-ass film. Check it out if you haven't already. And Craig is doing one more and then he's done. Danny Boyle is the director and it's being released next November.
Craig hands down. I wish they would cast Idris Alba as the next JB. Then it would be really hard for me to choose
Though I favour Dalton as the most faithful rendition, it is a toss up for me between Goldfinger and Live and Let Die for the greatest Bond film ever.
Timothy Dalton was the most faithful to the books, and then again if going by the character as written and appearance as described Daniel Craig would have been a perfect Felix Leiter, but was nothing like Bond.
