James Bond is so badass. 'Nuff said.

British Navy Commander James Bond, CMG, RNVR is a fictional character created by novelist Ian Fleming in 1953. He is the protagonist of the James Bond series of novels, films, comics and video games. He is portrayed as an SIS agent residing in London. From 1995 onwards, SIS would be officially acknowledged as MI6.

Bond holds the code number 007, except for the novel You Only Live Twice, where he temporarily becomes "7777". The "double-0" prefix indicates his discretionary licence to kill in the performance of his duties. He is famous for introducing himself as "Bond, James Bond" and for ordering his vodka martinis "shaken, not stirred"; his usual and characteristic formal clothing is a dinner jacket. In the films he usually wears a Rolex Submariner watch or, in later films, an Omega Seamaster.

He has been portrayed on film by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig, the last interpretation being the only one with an official fictional biography of the character. However, Bond was first portrayed by Barry Nelson in a 1954 American television film based on the novel Casino Royale, and next by Bob Holness in a 1956 South African radio series based on the novel Moonraker. David Niven played Bond in Casino Royale, a 1967 satire, which was lightly based on the Bond novel of the same name. Several other actors, including Peter Sellers and Woody Allen, were also designated as James Bond in the satire.

fave Bond films in no particular order are For Your Eyes Only, Dr. No, Octopussy, Goldeneye, Quantum of Solace...

Craig is a much better Bond than Dalton

True, but you gotta agree that Connery's the best Bond overall. That and the Casino Royale theme (You Know My Name) was so awesome. I even used that theme for my Ryu tribute.

Some folks would scream blasphemy since they claim that Connery's the best. But Craig's no pushover either. Aside from being the first blond, blue-eyed Bond in the franchise's history Craig's the most physical.

They can scream all they want.

Craig has IMO the top 2 Bond films. You can actually see him as an assassin. He doesn't play the campy part that Moore and Brosnan thrived in.

QOS was shit, imo.

As for the best Bonds:

1. Connery
2. Brosnan
3. Craig
4. Moore
5. Dalton
6. Lazenby

for me...

Casino Royale Opening.

YouTube video

This has got to be one of the best James Bond themes ever.

Not a huge Brosnan fan. It wasn't him that was terrible though. It was his films. His Bond was okay. Still at the bottom of the list.

i thought his first two were great. his last two, though... just got worse and worse...

Connery will always be my favorite Bond, but only because of Dr. No being the very first 007 film I saw.

Moore is second, Craig third, Brosnan fourth, and Dalton fifth.

where is the love for Lazenby? 😂 😆 😆

Re: Re: James Bond

Doesn't dictate overall acting ability, but in terms of playing James Bond, I liked the character as it was portrayed in this order:

Craig
Brosnan
Connery
Moore
Dalton
Was too young when I saw Lazenby, don't recall it.

1.Craig
2.Lazenby
3.Connery
4.Moore
5.Dalton
6.Brosnan

Lazenby played a great Bond and OHMSS was a great Bond entry. Top 5 IMO.

1. Connery
2. Moore
3. Brosnan
4. Lazenby
5. Craig
6. Dalton
