All true Bond fans agree that the best to ever play the role were Conner or Moore. Go to any Bond forum anywhere and that's what you'll here. It's funny how you blame the writers and use them as an excuse for Brosnan. Seems like a cop out if you ask me. Yeah sure blame the writers ok. The writers have no control over how an actor delivers his lines. How do you justify Dalton being so crap?Also you rank Connery as the best on your list and yet you fail to mention the reasons why you feel he was the best. So, I'm curious what makes Connery in your opinion the best to ever play the role?
Btw, I saw the trailer for Casino Royale and this new Craig looks nothing like Bond should look. The whole time I was watching the trailer I thought he was the bad guy. Honestly, IMO no offense to Bond fans out there that want this series to survive but as far as I'm concerned I feel this franchise is officially dead. This guy will be another Dalton. He'll do 1 or 2 sub par films until they figure out who else to bring or if they just retire the series entirely. At this pt. I'm hoping for the 2nd option.
Actually he was comparing Brosnan to Moore not Dalton to Moore. 😄 But yeah thats a great point.All the true Bond fans like you said,agree that Connery and Moore are the two best to have played the role and like you said,the proof is in the pudding on that because all you got to do to see thats correct is go to any Bond message board forum anywhere and when the discussion comes down to who was the best Bond it always comes down to being between Moore and Connery with Connery usually winning out.I like Moore the best but Conney usually always beats him which is okay with me because Connery was good as well.
oh by the RZA.my comment wasnt directed at you,it was at Darth just so you know.I mean that is such an ignorant comment that Moore is a horrible actor.He would never have lasted so long as Bond if that was true,he also made more Bond films than Brosnan.He also at least acted like Bond in his Bond movies where Brosnan acted the same EXACT same way in the Bond movies as he did on Remington Steele.Brosnan has been okay in other movies before,but he was a HORRIBLE Bond.what I also find funny about Darth's argument is that Moore at least got to go out on his own terms and leave as Bond when he decided to by retiring from acting where Brosnan was forced to leave and TOLD he was no longer wanted as Bond. 😆

Oh shut up, Parker, you trolling moron, your critical view on movies (good ones too, like Goldeneye, the Spider-Mans and the X-Men movies) borders on homicidal obsession. Now piss off...
Deal with it dude,those movies you like are pure crap and horrible films. 😄 well Goldeneye despite Brosnan was okay. 😄
I actually thought that Goldeneye was a good movie. I always liked those Cold War politics and the way some of the Bond movies were centered around them. And I disagree; I liked Brosnan's bond, even though he wasn't tough enough (he got held in a regular, normal, plain old Chinese prison camp for months and not only couldn't escape but didn't even try to).
while I still wished they had simply just stopped making any more james bond movies after roger moore retired because I dont like craig as Bond because he doesnt look the part,he at least was a much better Bond than Brosan because unlike Brosnan,he can at least act.had to make this comment since I finally saw the latest james bond film.

it was north korean, and they tortured him daily... not forgetting that the only way into south korea from the north is through a minefield... 😖

You are hardly in the position to judge brosnan unless you've seen a decent amount of his movies...
and plenty of critics loved him in goldeneye... wasnt his fault they brought in a not so great writing team for the last couple of movies...
one thing that cant be changed and is the proof in the pudding for the people living in denial that Brosnan was a good Bond is that Connery and Moore got to go out on THEIR terms and quit playing Bond when THEY wanted to quit.Brosnan was given his walking papers and told not to come back and he was pissed about it. 😆 Connery and Moore got to do 7 Bond films where Brosnan only got to do 4.Also the OFFICIAL reason that Brosnan was told they didnt want him back was because they wanted a younger Bond.Where the truth is obvious they just didnt want to hurt his feelings that they realised he was a bad actor for the role and just made up that excuse.I mean Brosnan too old to play Bond? yeah right,he's only like 49 and Roger Moore was in his late 50's before he retired.Naw Brosnan was forced out because they finally saw how bad his acting was. 😄

well, if you were doing a movie series that paid one helluva lotta money every movie, you would be pissed that they fired you too!
connery is one rich bastard and moore is as well
Brosnan, not so much
Yeah true.Stallone is a perfect example.Instead of just quitting with Rocky 3 and leaving it as a trilogy like he SHOULD have.He stopped caring about writing good quality scripts for the rocky films and the last two sucked so we suffered through the crappy rocky 4 and rocky 5 and whats worse is he's got rocky 6 coming out soon. 🙄
