DMaynard Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I can't wait to see the new one. In the meantime, I was thinking about the six actors who have played the role to date. This is how I rank them. 1. Sean Connery 2. Danile Craig 3. Timothy Dalton 4. Pierce Brosnan 5. Roger Moore 6. George Lazenby Connery is still King, IMO. Great sense of humor and totally believable as a tough guy to go with his body of work. Let's face it, he finished the character that Ian Fleming started in his books. Craig, with only one movie done and another coming, is sensational. A darker, less polite character than Connery, he could very well reinvent the role and become King. And soon. I liked Dalton in his couple of movies as Bond. Like Connery, good sense of humor and believable as a tough guy. I never thought much of Brosnan in the role. Likeable, but tough guy is a stretch for him. I could not stand Moore. Just a complete powder puff. His Judo chop fight scenes were laughable. Lazenby's one movie as Bond was one too much.

Nnamath Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 swap out Lazenby with Dalton and you have my list. On Her majestys Secret Service was a good film and lazenby's wooden acting was its only drawback. He was charming and funny and fit the suit. Diana Rigg is that films star. Dalton was terrible. He was humorless and his movies were bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piney Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 this new team making Bond movies have totally won me over...I always felt Bond movies were a little campy..and slow in spots...I didn't hate them..but I didn't like them either...the Craig bond movie though was thoroughly watchable. Maybe a little too long at the end...but it was leagues above the quality and pacing of previous bond films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
