Best James Bond?

1 and 2 are interchangeable depending on mood. Brosnan looked and felt like Bond but with maybe the exception of Goldeneye, the films are pretty shit. Craig, for me, just isn’t James Bond and the films just feel like run-of-the-mill action films.

Brosnan was a great Bond with shitty material to work with., but I couldn't warm to Dalton at all.

The other Bond films are vibrantly colorful but Craig's movies are all dark and gloomy, like they're shot with a brown filter.

I can remember most of the details of the earlier Bond films, certainly the plot, the women and some of the jokes but these latest ones I can remember fuck all about them.

  Not really into Bond films and haven't seen one since Roger Moore, but as mentioned Moore and Connery a pretty much the best ones.

Dalton was the most like the character in the books and how Fleming intended him to be.

Dalton was really good in the role

Looks decent that.

 

Probably said before but I reevaluated my thoughts on Craig after watching a YouTube vid about all the bonds where they said that he doesn't actually have any of the traits you associate with Bond, and which make him different from other action heroes.

 

He can shoot and twat people with the best of them, but isn't cultured or suave, a womaniser, a drinker or a fan of the finer things in life, he's just a killer. 

 

Was watching a Connery one recently, think it was Diamonds are Forever, and he's in a Vegas casino in a white tux while everyone else is dressed for a night out at Wetherspoons. He bets big, wins, and has this general air of being too good for it all. That's a sizeable chunk of Bond's character, to my mind.

 

Moore is still my favourite though.

The classic James Bond scene and still never bettered from Dr No ...Connery looking cool as fuck and just oozing class

Can't see that, he'll be pushing 50 by the time a film comes out won't he?

 

I reckon it'll be a left field choice most of us won't see coming. 

 

I'd like to see a return of a dapper bond, someone you can actually see sinking a few martinis at a casino rather than just going around breaking sinks with people's heads, over and over.

Henry Cavill would be a pretty good bond. He was ok in the Man from UNCLE.

Surely we want better than okay though? He did what general zod could never accomplish and destroyed Superman.

He’s 43. So you think he’s had a hard life?

Zack Snyder did that.  Thought Cavill made a decent Superman but was clearly no Christopher Reeves (who is though).

Tom Hiddleston or Tom Ellis would be better choices.

Let's see what the new 007 is like in the upcoming film first before debating another.

[Rico1304]

I like Tom Hardy, he was great in Taboo.  Helps I don’t mind watching shows with subtitles on.  

[Bjornebye]

Michael Fassbender. Fucking hell just checked his age. He was only 34 when he was in Inglorious bastard, jesus.

I thought about Tom Ellis but looking at some of the fight scenes in Lucifer he just doesn't seem to have any fighting skills at all.

I suppose as that character he doesn't really ever need to 'fight' as such. As Bond he would need to be more physical. Besides, Roger Moore got by despite a lack of fighting skills.

Moore could disable an enemy with just the knowing flick of an eyebrow.
