C Shutt Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Which actor portayed the best James Bond? Edited to point out that I'm aware I mispelled "too". Oh, the irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I've always liked Sean, although Pierce plays the role with more class in my opinion, so I prefer him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptdc Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I don't know who the best bond is but I do know that it wasn't Timothy Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Connery is clearly the ebst, followed by Brosnan, Moore, and Dalton. I don't even count George Lazenby . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 From http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_304701.html Sean Connery says he only got the role of James Bond because he was cheap. Connery says Bond author Ian Fleming really wanted Cary Grant for the role in Dr No, but he would have cost too much money. Had Cary Grant played James Bond, I might have been a bit more interested in this poll. Seeing that Dalton and Brosnan at least partly resembles Grant's style, I would have to go with one of them.

Alien426 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I voted for Sean Connery, of course. Maybe the point is not even the actor, but also the other crew involved in the making. The Connery Bonds have Albert Broccoli, Ian Fleming and John Barry (the composer). Also the 'real' Q, M and Moneypenny. I still don't get it why she is so young in later Bonds. Shuttsy, you misspelled "mispelled", too. Irony indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon_man Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Connery is the best Bond and would also make a kickass Bond villain in the next film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I heard they planned to have Sean do a cameo as Bond's father in one film, but after they'd arranged it they remembered that Bond has no father according to the books. Whoops! But you're right, having Sean as the bad guy would be great. Didn't he play the bad guy in a film similar to the Bond franchise a few years ago? Could be wrong - I usually am.

spoon_man Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Umm I don't think so. Also Connery was rumoured to play Austin Powers' father in Goldmember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Meh, I'm probably wrong then. I just remember Connery playing a bad-guy in a movie I watched ages ago and probably got things mixed. yes. he was the bad guy in "the avengers" proabably the biggest pile of **** remake of an old series ive ever seen in my life. ive just been reading the old bond books recently, they are hilarious. **** the films! im the best bond any way.

Fester Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I've never been a massive Bond fan, but let's face it, James Bond is not a serious role. Now, Sean Connery, a great actor, did play the part well, but at times took it too seriously. Moore, not a great actor, probably not one at all with his eyebrows, in my view was the best Bond. He took the role not as a serious one, and adapted it after Connery left after the terrible film 'Diamonds are forever'. His films contain the best humour in the series, the best timing, and, because he does add MORE humour to the series, his films are very watchable. I would be interested to know why people have nominated Connery in the majority. Is it because he is the original bond, because he is a good actor, because their dad says he is, or because they truly think that Connery was the best bond.

C Shutt Posted January 26, 2003 Author Share Posted January 26, 2003 Because he's the best Bond. Hence our giving him as an answer to the question "Who's the best Bond". It's not exactly rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carth Onassi Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I agree with the sane people in this forum. Sean Connery was the best. Even though i only know two of the ones listed: Connery and Brosnan. But Connery is the best of those two, And the others must not have been very good if i've never heard of them.

Fester Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Exactly my point. If you haven't heard of Moore or Dalton, then you really can't have watched their films. So how can you judge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Originally posted by Fester ..or because they truly think that Connery was the best bond. Connery was just the best, Dr. No and Goldfinger, they show probably the best bonds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Don't get me started about the sort of humor Moore has brought to Bond! Why should Bond be humorous at all? Those are stories about a hero. He's a secret agent who constantly saves the world for crying out loud! You mustn't take the stories seriously, but the stories may take the main character seriously, if you get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fester Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 That's how you see it. I see the films as ones that should be slightly humorous. Not like Austin Powers, but humorous. I think if Bond took itself too seriously, included no trademark humour, and was serious action scene after serious action scene, it would lose many fans, including myself.

Lemon Head Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 i had to vote for connery but i would have liked to vote for roger moore, he was superb in it but unfortunately he got cast into most of the awful bond films, which is a shame. george lazenby was just crap as far as i could tell, bless his old heart.

GendoTheGreat Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Conney. No surprise, the role was written for him after all. Timothy Dalton could have been a great Bond, but he always looked like he was about to burst into tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
