Saturday afternoon Bond film, but who's the best Bond?

[Krypton]

Sean Connery for me, who's your favourite Bond?

 

[beanzontoast]

Connery was the most fun to watch. I think some of the films look rather dated now, but it's easy-going tv for a dull afternoon.

 

[courtenay]

UniBond

Another for Connery, in a kind of nostalgic way, but I am seriously tempted to say Daniel Craig. He's a different kind of Bond, and one I prefer tbh, it's just that...

...nah, sod it, Daniel Craig.

 

[Arch]

Pierce Brosnan for personal lust reasons, but Connery otherwise, and he's probably the better Bond.

 

[ComedyPilot]

Sean Bean for me. Loved the film where he did all the parkour stuff chasing the baddie through the building site.






Just realised I meant Daniel Craig.

 

[Smokin Joe]

David Niven.

Roger Moore just edges it over Sean Connery, for me. I was a kid when the Moore films were on TV a lot and he's just so smarmy and less serious than the other brutal Bonds.

Contentious subject! Depends whether you're a fan of the original Bond (in the books) or not. Fleming's original choice IIRC was Richard Burton (though I'm sure I'll be corrected).

For me, the closest to the original Bond as written by Fleming and imagined by me, and therefore my fave is/was George Lazenby. Shame he didn't do any more. Connery a very close second. You can keep the rest.

IMHO the best actor never to play Bond and who'd have been just about perfect was Stanley Baker.

 

[Hover Fly]

David Niven.

Ditto.

Yeah I prefer Rodge to Sean. Quite like the two Timothy Dalton films though and they were a bit more cold hearted than the previous films.

Odd innit? That's exactly the reason I didn't like him!

5) Moore
6) Brosnan


Sir Sean is the obvious governor, but the two latest films are top class.

As for the last Brosnan film , one long procession of special effects and stunts with hardly any decent storyline.

It's got to be Roger Moore.
Some would argue he is a great exponent of the art of minimalism. Others just say he is crap.
