The James Bond Thread - Page 2

Those saying Craig is too serious, overlook that the relaunch of the franchise was done on the basis of bringing the film closer to the real Bond as described in the books. Maybe it is fairer to complain about that they have done this, closing the gap to the Bond from the Books. Craig just fits into that, and one should give him credits for how he did it. His Bond is the closest to the books.

The parody action movie style was given up and some plot returned.

Just like this, I only put Lazenby behind Moore, the penalty for just starring in one flick.
Oddly, subsim seems to be in clear favor of Connery, while among my friends it's about 50:50 Connery vs. Moore.

However the best movie was with Moore, also his first:
Live And Let Die
It also featured the hottest Bond girl of all times: Solitaire

Oberon · 07-03-12, 06:28 AM

Actors:
1) Connery
2) Dalton
3) Brosnan

Films:
1) You only live twice
2) Goldfinger
3) The Living Daylights
4) Goldeneye

I think the thing that ties all the Bond movies together and keeps that level of awesomeness between them though lies not with the actors or the writers but with this chap:

They're all great sunday afternoon flicks but I'd have to go with OHMSS as top - an ending never seen again in a Bond flick (and don't forget the Angels of Death

). As for Bonds -

1 Connery
2 Moore
3 Brosnan

Moore is up there I think purely for quantity, and cheese.

Wreford-Brown · 07-03-12, 06:55 AM

1. Connery
2. Craig
3. Moore
4. Brosnan
5. Dalton
6. Lazenby

Even though he got the early, cheesy scrips there are lines such as 'yesh Mish Moneypenny' that will forever stick in the mind.

Bond girls:
Vesper Lynd (Eva Green)
Onatopp (Famke Janssen)
Solitaire (Jane Seymour)
Octopussy (Maud Adams)
Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman, and what a great character name!)

This thread is crying out for a 'favourite Bond' poll...

QoS had some trouble with the writer's strike during production. Skyfall is looking promising though

Good idea. How do we post a poll?

Fav Bond: Connery

Fav movie: Very hard question.

I like them all except Moonraker and Never Say Never Again. I thought those were just terrible.

I have most of the movies on the Classics set of VHS's from the 80's. Makes for a nice feel while watching.
