He was a good in the dramatic movies though and had the cold guy with a sense of humor down.
Yeah Brosnan eventually got too carried away with the goofy CGI tech and stunts, but Moore got too carried away with all the goofy tech and stunts as well. Difference was how Brosnan's was more extreme stuff while Moore's was just kinda silly comedic stuff, like having Bond drive around in a gondola on wheels in Venice.

That was all just peak Bond fantasy stuff, like the creators just thinking "how outrageous can we get" and going for it.

Right, but the Craig movies have dumb plots and totally threw out spy technology thus making James Bond, a science fiction character, boring.

Spies in WWII had sleeve guns that could pop out and anal guns they kept...in their anus, just to name a few things.

Craig's Bond had almost no dialogue and no spy technology.

It was the same era that gave us a "realistic Batman" that had a car that could never escape a helicopter....unless Batman turned the headlights off!!

It was a time period of dumb writers that didn't like creativity.

His Bond had zero personality and his face is so dead he could be a CGI cartoon.

There were enough films that set Bond up as a witty character I just don't think it works without that. Plus, British people love witty characters and ever their TV shows hosted by real people tend to have personalities like that, and Bond should.

The Craig movies went on forever and I haven't watched any more than once. There's nothing clever about them.

I remember very witty remarks from the Connery series more than the action but I just remember stupid stuff from the Craig movies.

It's him and an old lady with a machine gun against squads of killers assaulting an old house, what f@cking nerd wrote that?

it jumped the shark with the motorbike off a cliff chasing the plane in GE. Up until that point essentially every stunt was physically done by someone, so however ridiculous irl you were at least on the bounds of plausability

I came to the conclusion that it is the same film being made over & over again-just in slightly different looking locations.

Yeah Brosnan imo was a good Bond, just got stuck with absolute chit movies. Goldeneye was a classic, the rest were bad to awful.

Physically he is described as 1.83 m (6 ft 0 in) in height and 76 kg (168 lb) in weight.[27] During Casino Royale, a SMERSH agent carves the Russian Cyrillic letter "Ш" (SH) (for Shpion: "Spy") into the back of Bond's right hand; by the start of Live and Let Die, Bond has had a skin graft to hide the scars.[28]
I've read that Ian Flemming actually really liked Sean Connery as Bond, and he even influenced his writing, making Bond Scottish for instance. Let's not forged that Connery also competed in Mr. Universe when younger and was considered a fit guy back then.

Rogers movies were the most fun, especially with his natural charm, although they were a bit campy. Dalton was the most bad ass, wish he did more of them. Daniel Craig was always a miserable bore.

Ye spot on, his movies were awful. Watching a Connery and Moore Bond movie always makes you feel good and entertained. Craigs were either boring or depressing.

The older Bond movies especially with Moore had some crazy premises but to me thats what Bond movies are all about, larger than life and spectacular, rather than gritty realistic spy movies that they morphed into now. They lost the essence of what Bond was about. The epitome for a Bond movie was The Spy That Loved Me. It had everything.

The deal is that Bond is one of a few elite agents sent in when something we will never find out about is happening. So, Bond is a science fiction character or missions where something really nefarious is happening.

There's weaponized satellite, there's a secret terrorist organization worse than nazis or communists and they have infiltrated Russia, etc. Those are science fiction stories about "now" instead of the far future.

The one Craig movie was about water in Bolivia....

The only memorable part of that was the idiotic last act where Bond decides to take M from their secure head quarters to a secluded mansion in the middle of nowhere, to fight a hoard of spies and gets her killed in the process.

they all have something going for them (except the Craig ones, these are just pure chit)

- Connery brought SWAG/10 and set the tone for the series
- Moore had charisma and brought the lols everytime
- Lazenby wasn't bad at all but hard to judge on 1 movie
- Dalton had more srs tone and had imo the best MOVIES, that's not to say he's the best Bond per se
- Brosnan was entertainment to the max, he had one absolute masterpiece, one stinker and 2 decent flicks

He was also a pretty legit hardass irl. Not just smacking around broads for their slooting tendencies, but beating the chit out of actual gangsters.

Sticking with the spirit of the thread, License to Kill was one of the better Bond films. Barely remember The Living Daylights tho.

Dalton is the most similar to the Bond of the novels. Not that it matters that much, but it's true.

LTK is a fantastic movie. The dark and brutal tone of it was very refreshing after the cheese and corniness of some of the others, and that tanker chase scene at the end is one of the best action scenes in the whole franchise.
