Who was your favourite James Bond actor?
 

Roger Moore

Sean Connery

he MADE the character and the standards it set



also, I think that Hugh Jackman should be the next James Bond

i'm just gunna go and say Sean Connery because like the only Bond movies i have watched have had him in them.

Pierce Brosnan. Goldeneye was the first Bond movie I saw and the only non-Brosnan Bond movie I've seen is Dr. No (been meaning to watch them on ABC but keep forgetting).

Pierce Bronsan. I liked Sean Connery, but I just think Bronsan is a little more "Bondish," :confused:.

Considering I have seen every single Bond movie. Oh it's true, oh it's damn true!

I would have to go with either Sean Connery or Roger Moore.

sean connary, he is the reason bond even lived after the first few movies

Sean "you're the man now dog" Connery

Pierce Brosnan.

sean Connery, he's the man...and his face and his calm persona just suited the James Bond character.....well atleast to me it did. My least favourite was Roger Moore.

I'm going to have to say:
Sean Connery

But it's very close, Pierce Brosnan plays an excellent james bond, he really suits the role.

Many thought that after the world is not enough, that there would be a new James bond to play the part. Purely because Pierce Brosnan's contract ran out after The world is not enough, so people started saying who they thought would make a good James Bond. I even heard on the Radio that Robbie williams was interested, JESUS he would make a crap James bond. But thankfully, Pierce Brosnan is still wants to carry on being James Bond. And a new James Bond film comes out at the end of the year.

Although i think sean connery plays the best James Bond (only just), probably my favorite james bond film is Golden eye. Tommorrow never dies i don't like, the plot just isn't plasable. The world is not enough was good. And the best bad guys have to Jaws and the guy with the razer sharp hat. Can't say i've seen every single James Bond film, but i've seen most.

Perfect Stu, whos Hugh Jackman??

Purely Sean. As much as I liked some of the others, only Sean Connery truly seemed to fill the shoes of Ian Flemmings 007 with his great humor and personallity. I'm not sure how many people read the books, but Sean Connery was a fabulous choice who really seemed to grasp the great James Bond of the books.

I can deal with the Peirce Brosnan mvies, but much of that has to do with how hot I think he is...lol

You're the man now dawg! :D

In my opinion, Pierce Brosnan makes a very good Bond, but to me Sean Connery is the best James Bond ever. Roger Moore was ok, but not better than Brosnan or Connery. As for Daulton and Lazenby, well even though both of them were only in one Bond film each, in my opinion they both made terrible Bonds.

As for Casino Royale, that isn't really part of the Bond series, is it? I remember a friend of mine, who's a huge James Bond fan, I mean he has the complete boxset of all the Bond films for christ's sakes. Anway he's the one who told me it wasn't really an official Bond film. Found out about it....I forget where. For another thing it wasn't in any of the boxsets he has :unsure:.

Oh yeah, I think my favorite film from the series is Goldfinger, maybe that's one reason why I think Connery is the best :D. And oh man, I can't wait to see Die Another Day.

James Bond : Do you expect me to talk?

Goldfinger : No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.

:doh: Yeah you're right Ric. I forgot about The Living Daylights. But even still, I think Dalton made a terrible Bond :D.

He made a bong movie? Cool, was it all about drugs? ;)

Hugh Jackman played Wolverine in X-Men...

he was also in Swordfish with Halle Berry and John Travolta

and Kate and Leopold with Meg Ryan (sp?)

He's from Austrailia, but he can do a perfect american accent, and an english accent is easier to do for aussies (from what I hear :sneaky: )....so......

You would think so. The Australian accent originated from the English accent right?

quite possibly...they sound sorta similar

I sure have become popular, eh?

Pierce Brosnan.

Sean Connery comes in close though.

Whoopsadiddallo. James Bond toking on a bong, lol.

You what, what planet you living on mate???? lol.

NO... you have'nt... shut up.
J/K, you're cool.

From best to worst, IMO:

1.Pierce Brosnan
2.Roger Moore
3.Sean Connery
4.Timothy Dalton
5.George Lazenby

1. Sean Connery (he started it)
2. Pierce Brosnan (gotta like his smile:D)
3. Roger Moore
4. George Lazenby
5. Timothy Dalton (my best friend said he 'killed' Bond)

I think that there are different 'types' of Bonds. Like Pierce Brosnan is the weapon-Bond, Sean Connery was the romance-Bond... :sneaky:

Connery is the Bond God!!!!!!


Hey, that rhymes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm cool

I'm happily reassured that you passed the 1st grade. ;)

one time in first grade when ever my teacher wanted us to be quiet she would stretch out her nose or what ever and show us her nose hairs and stuff.. she was an odd woman..

true story

...:unsure:

How the hell would that quiet kids? :confused:

becuase those nose haris were VERY long and it freaked us out.. that is when i first discovered the wonder of life that is a hemaphradite :|

Good grief, Snoopy! :eek:

Now, a contoversial return to the topic...

I suppose my fave has to be Timothy Dalton. True, he didn't have Roger Moore's wit and was et down by some utterly appalling scripts. But as far as portraying Bond as I see him (more like in the books - a hard smoking hevy drinking man with several large chips on his shoulder), he was superb. If he'd have been given a script as good as the one for GoldenEye (which had tones of some of Bonds ****ed-uppedness in it, as well as the excellent Sean Bean) he would have rocked supremely.

I just think Dalton was too good an actor for the scripts he was given. Brosnan is quite good, but not as funny as Moore, but he has some of the "psyche" stuff that Dalton did so well. Connery was OK I thought, but I just didn't find him to feel like the "real" Bond.

Insert flame below ;)

In my mind, more recent actors do Bond better than Sean Connery, but you still have to give credit where it's due: the man created the role. People in the future may play the role of Gandalf better than Ian McKellan, but that's not going to nullify the fact that Sir Ian made it a role to be taken seriously in the first place.

Now, I think that a lot of people in this topic are having trouble distinguishing the Bond actors from the Bond movies. I agree with sdtPikachu (surprise, surprise) that Timothy Dalton was a good Bond, but I really did not like his movies. Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough were, in my opinion, the best Bond movies (keep in mind that I have yet to see Man With the Golden Gun or Goldfinger), and I think that's why so many people like Pierce Brosnan. Well, he's also a good Bond, but not the greatest.

I actually don't like Roger Moore for some reason. His eyebrow-lifting sort of puts me off. Maybe he's faithful to the book character, but I never read the books.

I like a LOT of Bond movies... and I can't define who is the best.

But the worst is Dalton (by far) because he was too much of a pretty boy to be Bond.

Heh, well Goldfinger is my favorite Bond movie so maybe that's why I like Connery best ;). Maybe not, I don't know for sure. But in my opinion, Timothy Dalton didn't look or act the part very well (had nothing to do with the movie because I didn't think Licence to Kill was a bad movie). I mean hey, if you and sdtpikachu think he did, then great because I mean we could all see our vision of James Bond in different ways. Also, I think Pierce Brosnan does a very good Bond too though, as I've mentioned before.
