WHO WAS BEST JAMES BOND?

Post by QuartzGooner »

With the new Bond film "Quantum of Solace" in the headlines, I wondered who you thought was the best Bond.

For me it was Roger Moore.

The raised eyebrow, the look of puzzled astonishment when it invariably went wrong, the slightly amateurish Brit who muddles through in the end...I liked the way he played that.

It might not be exactly what Fleming envisaged, but it worked well.

Liked Connery too, but he was more of an action man. Thought he conveyed well the "cheeky but serious when need to be" attitude fairly common in ex forces people.

I voted for Roger as well. Not only was he the best Bond but he starred in the best films; Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me & Live And Let Die.

Moore had the best blend of smooth & tough; to look at him you would not think he could batter everybody in to submission but as a suave English hero abroad, nobody done it better.

I was a Timothy Dalton man, myself (oh er :oops: )

Probably becuase, due to my age, these were the first Bond films I remember... and of course, Living Daylights and Licence to Kill were Bond classics 8)

very true.

I like the new direction they're taking Bond. Much grittier... much in the same way as Batman, since Christopher Nolan took over the reins 8)

I liked the Spy Who Loved me Best and although he couldnt fucking act George Lazenby's OHMSS was one of the best action ones. Didnt like Timothy Dalton at all.

Does it leave you shaken but not stirred? :?:

Agree with G88ner about Batman being darker, a world away from the "Pow! Zap! Bash!" TV show we used to get, though I liked that a lot too.

I would have to say Connery, but I thought Brosnan played Bond very well aswell.

Oddly enough I thought Dalton was highly underrated, quality Bond.

However its Connery for me!
