From the character introduction in Dr. No to Quantum of Solace, we have various actors playing Mr. Bond. To me, Sean was perfect-not because he was the first. He himself as Bond. No acting really on his part as he fits the shoes well. Roger Moore had a hard time getting used to the shoes of Bond. He had that uppity British look and his Sainthood with that TV series fails to rub off him.You can see him as is trying to impersonate someone in all those James Bond shows he helmed. George Lazenvy was just a simple mistake of bad casting. He just did not have it both in appeal and body size. His role as the spy and scientist was totally unacceptable especially in Scottish kilt and with pipe in mouth. Timothy Dalton was akin to a fush out of water. He felt ill at ease trying to play the lover and trying to play the spy. Pierce Brosnan, with a little bit of Remington Steel still stuck on him did quite a job inspite of his rather slender built. He should have been allowed to act the last two films if not for bad office takings that finished him off. Daniel Craig is too straight,brutal but he delivers the blow as a M15 decoy to play the roulette tables as well as a vengeful spy in Quantum. Problem here is he is too uptight and we feel that he should loosen up a bit especially with the lovers. May be the screenplay and script has something to do with this. Do you agree with me. Who do you think was the better Bond? Lets us bond here to discuss.

I really think Daniel Craig is the best bond. The new bond films are more serious and i think that makes the films more gripping and exciting to watch. i think he had to be uptight to do the last film as it was about bond getting revenge, not something that usually happens in the films. i think Craig has brought bond into the 21st century and makes the new films up there with the high budget films from the USA as Americans seem to find UK films boring. Craig delivers bond without the "cheese" that some of the other bonds seem to do and i am glad he has signed to do another 3 films. hope he keeps up with his talent he has at the min.

Dear jonjee,

Wonderful topic of movies and its cast! I missed the first 3 Bond's
movies because I think at that point of time, I barely knows about
movies nor cinemas....lol

I like Roger Moore because he was the first one I saw in the cinema...
(something like first love that you will be fond to..???) but later
I seen some Sean Connery acts as Bond in video...he is great! He has
what it takes! I hardly can recall how 'George Lazenvy' look like,
perhaps I missed that Bond movie..which title of Bond movie does he
acted? Pierce Brosnan...I sort of seen him as Remington Steel, so you
are absolutely right...The Remington Steel-ness still in our mind
when I see him as Bondconfused...I like him...

The last 2 Bonds movies has truly had paradigm shift, more like
Bourne Ultimatum...a lot of chasing, a lot of running, roof jumping..
Daniel has what it takes for this different type of Bond....

But whatever it is...all these Bonds are very lucky! Surrounded by
beautiful and sexy actresses...oh, not forgetting our Malaysian borned
actress, Dato Michelle Yeoh as the heroin in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'..
what do you think about her... w00t

Thanks and all the best!

Dear jonjee,

Oh yes, the phrase that always come to my mind was

" Shaken not stir..." sound familiar???

This element that I put in as part of my slogan
in Casino Royale won me the Grand Prize in Faces Magazine!
I got 2 bottles of Smirnoff whisky, 2 glasses and casino
framed poster(another contest)... got to watch it on Premier..fond
memory, great feeling about Casino Royale, alwaysthumbup

Take care and do keep in touch!

Hey congrats on winning those Smirnoff gift thingy. The George Lazenby number was On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The relationship between Geroge and the lead lady, Diana Rigg got so bad apparently that she rubbed garlic juice over her lips just to spite him in kissing scenes.Moreover, Diana towers over him in fame because of her Avengers role. Poor George,he must be cussing the day he accepted that Bond role. Thanks for the comments.

Sean Connery and Roger Moore are the best James Bond. Their movies are great and you will be amazed with the stunts, the gadgets and the fighting scenes. Not like the latest James Bond.

That's because they appear in more movies than the rest. In those days, almost every movie was a money spinner. It is only lately that the Bond magic seems to be on the decline. Youngsters these days are not so loyal to the Bond franchise. Thanks for dropping by.
