Craig AND Connery are tied for top spot for me, but Sean's already enjoyed his Bond career and also an unofficial return in 1983. Yes he is awesome but Craig is the perfect Bond for todays world and seein him come full circle as 007 from a new 00 agent into the Bond we all know will be wonderful. Pierce was a good Bond too but he's too old for the part now. In his mid-late 50s, which would be pushing it a bit. Same with Roger in AVTAK. But Pierce also gave us Everything Or Nothing, a great 3rd person shooter if you ask me. ;) Do you find this valuable?

"I'd love to see Dalton do another one."
I almost agree, but Dalton would be too old for the part now. While his 007 career wasn't as lengthly as some of the others, TLD and LTK were both fantastic adventures and he di a super job of portraying the Fleming Bond. But I agree with S.P.E.C.T.R.E, Connery, Brosnan AND Dalton have had their moments to shine as Bond and now its Craig, who is doin a great job too. I look forward to seeing him in more.

They are both too old for the role now and times changes.

But I agree with you, that Connery is better than Craig.
Connery IS Ian Fleming's secret agent 007 with a license to kill…

I think Timothy Dalton is underrated, although not as good as Connery. However, having read all the books, I think Messrs. Connery and Craig are both pretty much there.

I can't see Pierce Brosnan or Roger Moore digging into a vein of briutality just beneath a thin veneer of culture and sophistication, and Daniel and Sean both have that pretty much taped for my money. Do you find this valuable?

I concur! All the actors have done brilliant jobs so far but Connery, Dalton and Craig are the closer interpretations to Flemings character. Suave they are, yes, but they also have vibe of thuggishness lurking beneath their sophistication that puts them in the top 3 spots for me. They're brutes, just like they should be.

Brute Bond from the novels is fine, but its the Gadgets, fun loving, Suave, martini, cigar smoking Bond that the fans love more! Thus is why we have 22 films!

I think its fine that the movies made there own separation from the novels, I tend to think that the 007 films are now getting TOO brutish and thuggish tho. Dalton did it in a way that I thought was awesome and balanced, Craig's are starting to get alittle bit too much but I dont mind. Moore and Brosnan did JUST as good as those 3 without being closer to the novels, each bond having there own specialties. Do you find this valuable?

I agree the fantasy side of Bond also added new possibilities to the series, but it kinda seems to me like this gets used far more often, and I like how they kinda got back to the style of Dr. No/FRWL/OHMSS/TLD/LTK. Roger and Pierce were wonderful, but by DAD that type of adventure had become a little overdone in my opinion. CR I see as a return to form and my personal favorite, but I'm looking forward to some more classic Bond tradition in #23, like you are. Lookin forward to goin to the movies in 2011!

The way the series is going (CS & QoS) makes it look like the Bond movies are more realistic, that is cool compared to DAD (wich I have no complaints about DAD). Do you find this valuable?

DAD one of my worst, I find it too overdone. It sarted good, but the song was terrible, then they introduced a gene therapy clinic. And an invisible car. And a satelite-laser that is a rip-off of the one in DAF... being controlled by Robocop to top it off. I found a lot of the CGI unconvincing as well. Thought TWINE was a much better Bond movie.

I agree the CGI was done all wrong and too much. CGI is suppose to enhance a movie, like Qos or CR.

All in all I enjoyed it even with those gripes, I know most dont like it lol. Do you find this valuable?

Yeah we all have Bond films we think are underrated. I happen to really like DAF, LALD and TMWTGG, I hear them gettin bashed quite a bit sometimes... They certainly not my favorites but not the worst either! Just good fun 007 entertainment. Do you find this valuable?

I like Bond to be cool and tuxedoed-up as well. However, given the kind of job he does, an occasional flash of ruthlessness makes the character realistic.

IMO, Roger Moore was really far too nice to have ever signed up as a double-O killer in the first place. Do you find this valuable?

Thats not true at all! Moores Bond can and is ruthless when he needs to be. For example, when he kicks that car over the edge in FYEO, and hes pretty ruthless in TMWTGG when he first meets Andrea Anders, hes very serious there.

Sure hes not like Craig all ruthless all the time, and I wouldn't want him to be. His way is more casual, intelligent and sophisticated way of being Bond. Do you find this valuable?
