I've been stuck in the house for the last two weeks and consequently obliged to watch the James Bond season on UBC. I'd forgotten how many there were. So now I reckon I know who is the best and worst James Bond;
My thoughts;
1. Timothy Dalton - He was excellent in "The Living Daylights" real nasty. I think he carried the role better than anyone else. Probably helped by the presence of Miriam D'abo who is far and away the best bond girl.
2. Sean Connery - The actor most people associate with James Bond. Definately had presence, but now his movies are looking dated.
3. Pierce Brosnan - A bit of a lightweight and was accompanied by a return to the gadgets.
4. George Lazenby - Not bad but the only movie he was in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was a clunker.
5. Roger Moore - Never believable as James Bond he turned the character into a badly acted buffoon. If he ain't gay he ought to be. Worst movie - Octopussy, with the help of a ridiculous story line Moore destroy's the movie with his ham acting.
6. Daniel Craig - Haven't seen the movie yet. He was good in "Layer Cake".
