The Best Agent 007

[pnoiSR20]

I say Connery. He made Bond look classy and funny. Brosnan is also good making the Bond image more modern. Favorite Bond flick: Goldfinger

Pierce Brosnan is a very close #2, but nobody will best Connery.

The funny thing is watching the old Bond movies, then hearing the exact same 007 voice come out of an old grey-haird bank robber or somthing.

Almost a tie between Connery and Brosnan.

I chose Connery, just because I've loved him ever since that shitty Dragonheart movie. I cried when I saw it in the movie theatre.

The basis for my vote had absolutely nothing to do with Bond movies. I love how I'm such a woman sometimes...

Women!!



I'm the sole vote for George Lazenby. He had the seriousness of Connery but with a human side, and subtle humor without the clownishness of Moore.

Sean Connery is about tied though; and I'd wonder how the voting would go if Lazenby had done more than one film (On Her Majesty's Secret Service btw)

Timothy Dalton is closer to the Bond in the books, so he's 3rd on the list. He was in some poorly written stories (can't beat the original Ian Fleming plots) so may have suffered with that.

Pierce Brosnan, though good, seemed a little thin. Maybe it was the movies, and their over reliance on gimmicks and special effects; although there have been some technological goodies in all the films, they've played too heavily on them more recently. (like in Moonraker )

Roger Moore, last. He's the clown of the group, although Live and Let Die was very good. If the rest of his movies had been up to that level he'd have moved up the list a bit.

Reserving judgement on the new guy - but they should definitely dye his hair black, or he's not really James Bond.

Nobodu can even touch Connery. He is the iconic James Bond. Poll Over

voted for connery, hes just too sexy. although brosnan was very sofisticated, he doesnt beat connery.

the new guy looks like hes going to suck, i mean he cant even drive stick, his car have to be automatic

[KustmAce]

tossup between connery and brosnan

but i like brosnan much more than connery, and goldeneye is my favorite bond flick ever, so im gonna have to go with him

Although from then down, my opinion is skewed in the fact that I saw all Brosnan's and Moore's movies before I caught any of Dalton's or the other guy.

This is why I voted for Timothy Dalton.

I would've voted for Lazenby because I really liked that particular Bond flick; however, I did not want to be the sole voter for him... haha.

Also, you're dead on about the Brosnan flicks.

Roger Moore had the cheesiest lines but that was his thing. I've always liked "A View to a Kill" because of Chris Walken's part as Zorin.

Connery was great in his time too.

EDIT: I just realized I'm the sole voter for Dalton...

[drunken monkey]

this is hard.... mainly because of the massive jump in budget, technology and film style/techniques available to each of the people in their time.
as it stand, the brosnan films are in my mind, the best of the bond films because they are actually close to how i'd imagine a modern bond to be, not to mention that the first time we see brosnan as bond, he is essentially solid snake....
can't get cooler than that.

how-ever, i can't shake the notion that is in my head that sean connery would still do a damned good job of being Bond ("the rock" anyone?)
