Alright, so many people look at Sean Connery as their favorite Bond, but I guess I just don't see why, other than the fact that he was the first Bond. But it's always kind of annoyed me when people like the original the best SIMPLY because it is the original.

I'm not saying Connery was a bad Bond at all, I liked him a good deal... but I still don't understand what would make him the best. I mean, he doesn't even have a British accent.

I was going to say something really nasty, but then I noticed that you're only 16.

Don't worry about it kid, just watch the ones that you like, and when you get around 21 or so watch 'em again.


You'll like Connery the best too.

Uh Connery is a legend as an actor because he is a great actor and was an excellent Bond as well.I personally like Roger Moore the best because he brought an added dimension to the character with his humor and wit and also did an outstanding job portraying the character of James Bond.Moore is my favorite with Connery second.

Sean Connery was the original Bond and set the benchark for the Bond series. He had the elegance and charisma that Bond should have, but at the same time wasnt afraid to get his hand dirty when the need presented itself. I personally think that he had everything that Bond should have, perfectly suited to the role. I never get tired of his magnificent accent either.

Moore however is a very close second. His and Christopher Lee's performance in The Man With The Golden Gun was nothing short of astounding.

Just know that I think Connery is a good Bond, no doubt.

But I just don't see why he is always looked at as the best.

As for Roger Moore, I don't really like him at all. I actually think he isn't that great.

Hes a great actor an icon

Sean Connery is an amazing actor. I think I would also put his second to Roger Moore though, for the same reasons as posted above.

Why? Because simply, he is James Bond. When i think on bond, i think on connery. Not only he was and he is a amazing actor, he has the look, the charm, the charisma,etc to play bond perfectly. Only see his first scene in doctor no saying" bond, james bond". Man, that guy IS james bond. He was perfect and the best bond ever. Roger Moore did a great job too playing another style of bond, his own style , that worked very well, except in his last movies when he was too old.

1. Connery
2. Moore
3. Brosnan

Connery is overrated (as James Bond). His films simply aren't the best, although From Russia... is probably somewhere in the top 5. I still like the rest of his movies, though. There's no such thing as a non-entertaining Bond movie.

My favorite Bonds:

1: Daniel Craig
2: Pierce Brosnan
3: Roger Moore
4: Sean Connery
5: Tim dalton
6: George Lazenby

I love Roger Moore's Bond because he did away with the cold blooded hitman theme and made Bond more human and compassionate. I also loved the humour. Sure, this is not the Bond people wanted to see, but I thought it was a cool and different interpretation that still worked within the formula. With that said, I'm cool with Daniel Craig returning Bond to his old self, because he did it so incredibly well.

I personally didnt like Daniel Craig.

I just didnt think he was a good choice for Bond. I didnt feel he had the same sort of suave attitude that Bond should have. Flirting should come natural to Bond but Craig made it seemed rather forced. Also I think he took the ruthless, hitman side of Bond to far and that ruined the experience - for me anyway. I am stuck in my ways with a Brosnan looking Bond with the Connery attitude. Craig fell short on both accounts.

Havn't seen the new film yet but will probably try and view it next week or so but I agree with you saying the Brosnan look and Connery attitude. When I think of Bond I think of the look of Brosnan(or Connery, but usually Brosnan first) and Connery attitude. I think all of the actors bring something to the table as far as making a perfect all-around Bond.

I actualy think Bond shoul look like Craig lol.

Hell no.

I could be wrong, but isn't Bond's flirting a bit of a facade? Casino Royale showed him as he was in the beginning: an overly arrogant but not TOO competent male chauvinist pig. He was humbled when he found love, and then it spat him in the face. The result is the Bond we all know: an experienced hitman who enjoys a good shag but refuses to let anyone get close. Yet, he's still very much human. Imo, Craig did a great job of showing how Bond became that kind of person.

Perhaps, but to me it just seemed like another action movie - not the Bond experience I was looking for. But im sure other people with think it is a fantastic movie. Different tastes I guess.

Connery was damn good. There's no disputing. He had it all, though some others did some things better then him, he had all of everything Bond needed to be.

I hated Moore, I'm not afraid to say it. Too cocky, but not in a good way, not believable at all for me, he was more of a court jester then James Bond IMO. Although he was in some decent movies.

Brosnan was good in the first couple Bonds he was in, the last few sucked though, but I mostly think it was the movie and not his fault. Goldeneye is my favorite Bond ever.

Dalton was just "meh" to me, not exciting, nothing special, didn't really like the movies he was in either. Although he did have his moments.

Lazenby is a joke and I try to forget he ever existed.

Craig was an awesome Bond, prolly the best overall other then Connery. He looks like he could kill you before you could blink, hes not nice, hes not pleasant, hes a cold heartless killer. He is the most believable Bond of them all, though he was missing a bit of humor.

I agree with everything, except for the Craig part, didn't see the new Bond yet, so i cant judge him.

I love the debates that take place on the internet regarding who was the best Bond and people giving their views, insights, and opinions!! Makes for great debates and discussion. I compare it to historians trying to play that old parlor game, "Worst President in American History."

There's really no answer to who indeed the best Bond was. However, i must say that i do agree that Connery may be abit overated. I'm always maintained that the Roger Moore Bond films for me are the most entertaing!! I never get tired of watching those. That doesn't mean Moore was the best, just think his films are the most entertaining.

LOVED Casino Royale!!!! Can't wait to see
Craig in his next Bond Film!!!!

I didn't like Craig as Bond. He's more of an Arni or Sly type hero. The man's got the best moves I've ever seen for the James Bond character. but to put it nicely, the man is just to rough around the edges to play James Bond. Not that i dislike him though.

Connery for me was just a natural. Of all the actors, he just looked like his charm was natural. He didn't look like he was trying too hard. Its just a shame that he got old. I would have loved to see him young, in our generation, playing a new bond flick. Imagine what they could do with the tech man.

Craig will become more suave and slick as the series progresses, adding some dark humor here and there.


Remember, he's playing Bond at the beginning of his career as a spy.

For me I preferred Sean Connery rather than Daniel Craig. I think Craig is the worst Bond ever.

I dont like Daniel Craig. He is a good actor but a bad Bond.

He's better than Brosnan and Dalton.

i've always considered Roger Moore the greatest Bond personally, but that's not to say Connery wasnt great. He's a legend - mostly because he can get away with a Scottish accent in every film he's been in

I agree with you as well.

The old bonds where better thats why i like old bond movies

I prefer Roger Moore, he's my fav for sure. I did like Casino Royale, it's probably one of my...top 5 bond films, I think Craig did a rather good job at playing Bond, he wasn't perfect but he wasn't bad either

Added dimension to the character of bond

more like made a complete joke of the character, The only decent ones he's ever did is live and let die, man with the golden gun and For your eyes only

also this is coming from somone who's actually been reading the novels

Sean Connary and the latest bond craig is the closest thing to the character itself imo

you seriously need to get over your pathetic obsession you have with me just because I dont like a pathetic movie you love so much.pitiful kid.
we both know that you would not have made this stupid comment if that had been a newbie that posted it,you proved that by not addressing any of the other peoples posts on here.you seriously need to get over a grude match that took place years ago.obviously you havent.pitiful.

Wow that just proves how much more of an idiot you are

Obvisouly i was only talking to you when i wrote this part



So don't tell me to address other peoples posts for what i said when you clearly failed to put the 2 things together yourself.



So its not okay to for me to have my say about what you think but yet its fine for many other people on this forum to do the same thing and let it slide.

He doesnt have a British accent? :s hes Scottish, I live in Scotland... as far as i knew it was in britain. hmmm whole life has been a lie Connery was born for that role, there could be no other original bond in my eyes.

And who cares if he was'nt english its not like the first time something like that has happen probably many more situations like that has happen

Take recently with the X-men films with wolverine he's canadian but yet they got a australian actor to play him, Where they come from has nothing to do with SnakeEyes its more can they act the part

And on the topic snake eyes would you rather Moore continued to play Bond he was british.........oh he also made bond a complete joke.

only an idiot goes to a thread that has NOTHING whatsoever to do with me and says crap like-"wow a mr parker supporter." like you just recently did.you CLEARLY cant get over a discussion that took place over a year ago about a movie.now thats an idiot.

AGAIN as I just said,if that was a newbies post,you wouldnt have said that.you said that because your STILL obviously hung up over a movie debate from at LEAST a year ago which is pathetic.you proved that with that uncalled for and recent childish comment of -"wow a mr parker supporter." recently in the movie discussion section.

A thread that had absolutely NOTHING to do with me.AGAIN by not commenting on what ANYBODY else said here,and that childish comment in that movie discussion section,you obviously have an obsession with me.If this had been from someone else who doesnt thave an obsession with me,I would have bothered addressing them,but YOU clearly have an irrational obsession with me you cant get over proving it with that childish and uncalled for comment on that thread that had NOTHING to do with me in the movie discussion section.thanks for showing how the man-spider fans are idiots kid with your irrational obsession you have with me.

I saw a thread about our favourite Sam Raimi films and it would seem Kazenji, does have a little obsession with man-spider lol, I mean the "Mr Parker fan" comment was totally uncalled for and it just looks like your looking for an argument lol, I think perhaps you two should just stop talking to each other

They could have a lock in

I mean Roger Moore was witty, and Daniel Craig is bad ass, and Pierce Brosnan is just Pierce, but Connery is where the inspiration to find the next good bond comes from!!

Matt

but that's just because he was the first, so he is always the best bond...
