I like him much more than the screaming facefucker that is Craig. That said, if his movies didn’t have the 007 name attached to them, I’d be there opening day for all of them. They’re enjoyable movies, just not very “Bond” to me.
Connery is obviously the best. Let’s get that out of the way.
Moore, I don’t care for. I think that his movies succeed best on an ironic level, which is to say that they’re too silly to be exciting on their merits as an adventure story.
From Dalton, I like Licence To Kill, even though it’s deeply flawed. It has all the ingredients in place for an old-school Bond thriller except a cohesive story.
I also have a soft spot for Brosnan. I’m sure I’m like many people here in that GoldenEye was my first Bond movie, which I didn’t appreciate at the time. It’s a good one, even if it was downhill from there.
Casino Royale was pretty stupendous. Quantum of Solace was awful. I don’t think Craig’s been Bond long enough to judge where he falls in the scheme of things, but he is more like early Connery than any of the others.
quantum of solace was awful. even craig thought so.
It’s all about dat Goldeneye.
I would not say awful, so much as an epilogue stretched into a two hour film.
I am still mad at how Mathis went out.
Blue ball comes slowly.
QoS completely misunderstands what made Casino Royale so appealing. That’s the biggest problem, even though it’s really a collection of problems.
Nostalgia glasses.
N64 ain’t shit. 
Blue ball comes slowly.
the poker scenes in casino royale were terribad…they were also like half the movie. not to mention, craig’s character was pretty unlikeable.
sir roger moore jumping boats in the bayou and hopping over alligators (like a bawse!) was significantly easier for me suspend my disbelief for than craig being involved in a poker hand where a royal flush wins over 4 of a kind and an aces over kings full house.
You mad cause you always got golden gunned.
Yea Goldeneye was my first Bond as well so Brosnan is like “My Bond” hence the bias warning.
I agree here. I don’t think Quantum’s awful but it’s far too much like a epilogue chapter stretched into an action movie and it suffers heavily for it. Also didn’t like how they tried to make Bond feel bad over a woman being killed on his watch again. Too much a retread with the wife from Casino.
I loved Bond leaving Greene out in the desert with a can of oil, but it is a bit anti-climactic for the big screen villain, and he ended up shot anyway right? Would have been better for him to just die of dehydration for the Karmic kill. Oh wells. I liked most of the action in the movie and still have high hopes for Skyfall.
When you get right down to it James Bond isn’t a very likable guy at all, in any of his incarnations. He’s a smart ass bully with no respect for authority and treats women like commodities and peoples as disposable. No Bond is likable as a person.
i didn’t think it really needed to be said, but obviously i meant likable to the audience. dirty harry was a dick to the umpth degree, but audiences generally like dirty harry. same goes for just about every fictional action hero.
and i had thet facts wrong on the poker hand…still obscenely ridiculous though.
1 in 158,000,000…c’mon, son. and let’s not talk about the bad beat he took and that he has to take shit over.
I just want to say to each and every one of you talking about Bond…fuck you dead.
As hard as I have been trying to get this song out of my head for the last several weeks…

On the other hand, Berneice Marlohe’s acting is pretty hilarious.
Funny. I managed to turn it off and forget about it about a minute into the song. That fuckin voice man…
You need better earworms. Here, let me help:

If I thought any of you Bondophiles could afford this I’d instantly assume RockB was the lucky winner.
That was ludicrous, but implementing the card game as drama was a good strategy even if they goofed on the details.
Like, you’re going to change the game from the one in the book to one that everybody knows about… then have it play out in a way that would never happen.
Still a good movie.
craig even got the wack bond songs…shit is unforgivable.
that said, my favorite bond movie (to live and let die) ahs a pretty bad song as well =/

lolololol. buget of $100 for that video
(Hmm…it’s been a while since that Robot Chicken did a Street Fighter joke.)
Full disclosure: I hate the character of James Bond regardless of who plays him, as I’ve admitted various times before.
As such, the only movies I’ve seen were the ones with Brosnan, of which Goldeneye is the only good one; fuck Halle Berry. I also think a couple of the Connery ones with the past year, but…yeah, really makes no difference to me. I just always hear everyone say they like Connery–understandable–and generally say that Dalton’s the worst for some reason; this is the first time I’ve even heard of “Lazenby”.
P.S. I tend to think of “slick” and “suave” as different things, mainly because “slick” generally has negative or at least ambiguous connotations whereas “suave” has only positive ones.
Uh…how did this happen, Tilda Weeks?
The song is the only thing Live and Let Die has going for it.
Read the novel Live and Let Die. It’s literally a trillion times better.
There is some outmoded racial terminology, though.
