Spiff Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 What are your favorites Dave, by actor? Brosnan: Goldeneye Moore: For Your Eyes Only Connery: Have to think on that one Quote
macelena Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 GoldFinger, The Spy who loved me, GoldenFu´inEye Quote
Spiff Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 For Connery, I'll go with From Russia With Love Quote
fallenphoenix1986 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Sean Connery - You only live twice / From Russi with love Pierce Brosnan - Golden Eye / Tommorow never dies Daniel Craig - Casino Royale Craig Quote
Spiff Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Forgot about Craig, but I thought he did a good job with Casino Royale for his first outing. Quote
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Connery= "Thunderball" Moore= "Moonracker"(sp) Brosnan= "Goldeneye" Craig= "Casino Royal" Dalton sucked and Lazenby starred in the highly under rated " On Her Majesties Secret Service." Quote
Lazarus1177 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 All the Bonds were good but,Connery kills all! Quote
+JediMaster Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 OHMSS is very underrated, had some of the best action sequences of the series. I didn't care for Savalas as Blofeld, should've been some OTHER bad guy and not overused Blofeld. Besides, there were too many actors playing him. Pleasance, Gray, Savalas? Come on. Diana Rigg I felt was underused, but Lazenby did a good job for a guy trying to replace a legend! As for Dalton, the films are very good IF you don't think of them as "Bond" so much. However, you can see the seed of what the Craig films will be. They are far more brutal and realistic than the Moore films which preceded them or the Brosnan films which came after. While I still don't think of Dalton as Bond, he was more like a British version of Bourne before Craig was officially given that title. Also, Robert Davi was one of the best Bond villains of the 80s with some great quips (which most villains didn't get). Quote
+Dave Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Connery = "From Russia With Love" Moore = "Moonraker" Brosnan = "Goldeneye" Craig = "Casino Royal" I really liked Dalton as he was a close verison to the books until Craig came along. George Lazenby did a great job. I wonder what he would of done if he had been given other opportunites to continue playing Bond. Quote
+MigBuster Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Daniel Craig - Casino Royale Roger Moore - Any with one liners - well was funny for me in the 80s Pierce Brosnan - Golden Eye Connery - Goldfinger Brosnan - License to kilt Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Guys, want to know, what movie Lazenby chose to star in instead of another Bond? Watch this http://thecinemasnob.com/2010/02/26/universal-soldier-1971-review.aspx Quote
+MigBuster Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Guys, want to know, what movie Lazenby chose to star in instead of another Bond? Watch this http://thecinemasnob...971-review.aspx Wonder why Ive never heard of that masterpiece! Quote
+allenjb42 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Connery - Goldfinger (my favorite Bond in my favourite Bond movie. Ever) Lazenby - OHMSS (Agreed that it's very underrated. Just finished the book to which the movie sticks surprisingly closely. Also has the best ending of all the Bond movies. With the possible exception of Moonraker: Sir Frederick Gray, Minister of Defence: My God, what's Bond doing? Q: I think he's attempting re-entry, sir.) Roger Moore - Live and Let Die (although I do like the ski chase at the beginning of The Spy Who Loved Me) Pierce Brosnan - The World Is Not enough Daniel Craig - Casino Royale I've also got a soft spot for the David Niven/Woody Allen/Peter Sellers etc Casino Royale - a classic comedy way before Austin Powers was a twinkle in Mike Myers' eye. And if someone would re-do Never Say Never Again with a John Barry or David Arnold soundtrack and Shirley Bassey singing the title song I would be really grateful! Quote
Atreides Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Connery - Goldfinger. Brosnan - Goldeneye Craig - Casion Royale and Quantum of Solace (loved the darker side of Bond in both the movies, giving the guy oil to drink, ice cold, man). Edited August 31, 2012 by Atreides Quote
+JediMaster Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Lazenby learned too late about loose lips sinking ships. Same thing happened to Richard Donner and Superman 2. You don't get quoted in the press badmouthing your bosses and expect to work with them again. Quote
B52STRATO Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Connery: Thunderball ! (and obviously his "remake" Never Say Never Again) Lazenby: I still hesitate... Moore: For Your Eyes Only Dalton: Licence to Kill Brosnan: Tomorrow Never Die Quote
+JediMaster Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I find it puzzling how many people don't think Goldeneye was Brosnan's best. I grant the score sucked (aside from the main theme by Bono and Tina Turner which was the best of his 4), but Sean Bean was the best Bond villain of the 90s! Quote
B52STRATO Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I found Goldeneye exeptional for his post-Cold War atmosphere, the T-54/55 (maybe 62 ? It's far ago now...) scene in Moscow, obviously his opening theme and many other things, but the Brosnan's second Bond got his Ecureuil helicopter scene, and James riding a beautiful BMW flat bike that I really like, as the story.
