Casino Royale was the best. I can't really say much about the other ones, but I will say Craig was the best Bond ever.

 

Everybody who grows up watching Bond films spends some part of that time convinced that "their Bond" was the best Bond ever. For better or worse, I grew up knowing Roger Moore as Bond, and when I finally saw my first Connery Bond film as a kid I couldn't believe anyone bought this old, bald guy as 007. Obviously time and perspective have forced a rethinking on this, and a realization that Connery is the quintessential Bond. But to Moore's credit, Man With the Golden Gun remains among the best entries in the franchise. Christopher Lee's portrayal of one of the best Bond bad guys ever certainly helps.

 

I thought the Casino Royale remake was very good. And I think Daniel Craig is quite a good Bond. Certainly better than Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. Compared to Connery, though, he's a hack. In about 5-10 years you will come to the same conclusion that Connery was the best Bond and it's not even close.

He wore tuxedos with Dan Craig.

 

And last, but not least,

 

Vesper > Any Bond girl ever.

 

Drink a real martini. No f***ing vodka and no f***ing olive. 1.75 to 2 ounces of good English gin — Boodles, Plymouth, Hendrick's, or Beefeater. 0.5 to 0.75 oz (depending on how dry you want it) good, fresh, dry vermouth — Noilly Prat or Dolin, NOT Stock or Martini and Rossi. 1 dash of orange bitters. STIR with cracked ice to chill and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a strip of lemon peel, twisting over the drink to express some oil. And no f***ing olive anywhere near it.

 

There is a reason this cocktail has survived 100 years of history.

I guess Im the only one who liked Pierce Brosnan as Bond, imo he was able to be a badass but also capture the Bond charm like none other.

Goldeneye rocked... those ones near the end just got bad though.

Wut.

 

In the 60s, Sean Connery was neither old, nor bald.

In fact, he very much looked the part.

He absolutely did look the part, you are correct. He WAS Bond. But, he was wearing a toupe', and he came off as a lot older than Moore did when he started.

My dad always claimed Connery was wearing a hair piece for his role as Bond.

 

Yes he was.

No offense, but we're at the point where nobody is dumb enough to even bother giving his movies a shot.

 

He wrote it and produced, but he didnt direct it. Devil is supposed to be a decent movie

Got $20 gift card to the theater. Can't decide between The Town or The Other Guys.

 

The Town. If you see Other Guys at all, which I personally don't recommend, I would wait til DVD
