Am I the only one to think Pierce Brosnan did the lousiest job of them all? (Except George Lazenby, but he doesn't count. )

They wanted to highlight just how appallingly the Regimental Strap fitted the Sub.

I always liked early Connery,.........early Moore was underrated....in L&LDie he was cold and calculating....he was great!!!!(and a great Sub by Q branch)....later more into comedy unfortunately.

I really liked Lazenby......very athletic.....the story was too radical for many to accept.(getting married etc)

Lets forget Dalton..he managed to turn JB into a boring theatrical ponce!!!..It proves great theatre actors are not always great movie actors,IMO


Brosnan...again earlier good(Goldeneye,Tmrw never Dies)....later,lacking.

I think Casino Royale is the BEST Bond movie ever made .......i was expecting Craig to be a disaster......but he was phenominal!!!

QoS was just the biggest dissappointment after CRoyale(not Craigs fault)....how could it get so good and then fall off a cliff?????

I think they start filming "Bond 23" Dec 2010....Director Sam Mendes,(no less)...so should be good!!!!.......lets cross our fingers.

Daniel Craig will likely be wearing Omega,maybe a PloProf for Bond 23 would be good/different....But we at TRF have the satisfaction of knowing that Craigs personal choice of watch is Rolex!!

No, IMO he was pretty lousy, but there were so many great bonds before him, its hard to follow

I remember that. Was this also the same movie where Bond's Sub bezel spins around freeing him and Jane Seymore from being tied up? The Sub can do amazing things in the movies!

Oh yeah!

I would even go so far as saying Timothy Dalton didn't get fair game since the two before him were so great. People got perhaps accustomed to a "lesser" bond with Timothy, and when Pierce took the stage he was somewhat new and humorous. A lot of people like Pierce's Bond films, I hate them.

IMHO:

#1. Sean Connery
#2. Daniel Craig
#3. Roger Moore
#4. Timothy Dalton
#5. Pierce Brosnan
#6. George Lazenby, -Who?!

If my memory doesn't fail me, wasn't he trying to be slick checking the time so no one noticed, as he set an explosive device on timer.

Live and Let Die: sexiest Bond girl ever - Jane Seymour.

[risico]

Casino Royale (1967) with Peter Sellers as James Bond

Good call Mark. That scene sold me on the Sub.
