Looking forward to the new Bond movie out soon and what a great time to duke it out with other Bonders as to which Jimmy is the numeru uno.
Process of elimination:
The one and out guy George Lazendude. The opening of his flick was pretty funny, after getting jumped and then kicking some azz on the beach he looks at the camera and says "that never happened to the other fella" pretty funny indeed. But he's a one and out guy so he goes down the list.
The gentleman Bond, Moore. He did a bunch load of Bonds but I never really believed he could kick my azz in a fight and at the end he was 66 years old, wearing loose fitting leisure suits and we were to believe he was turning the young ladies heads. Well it is a fantasy movie but still he goes down the list too.
The other serious Bond, Dalton. This is a tough one, solid actor, good lookin, smooth. But the eighties were a tough time to be Bond and his charisma can be called into question. Still he might have taken off had he done a few more, imcomplete grade so he goes down the list.
The suave one, Brosnan. I waited years for this guy thinking he would be the perfect Bond but I yawned my way through his flicks as I think he did too. In his defense some of those scripts were written by monkees and not The. In the end he goes down the list.
The new guy, Craig. Man this guy caught some flack when they announced he was the guy but he has faired well for me. His Bond and his movies don't have much of a sense of humor but we can thank Jason Borne for that. He has a huge chip on his shoulder as Bond and that I love, he also looks like he could kick my azz so he goes up the list. The scripts, directors, action scenes and production values afforded Craigs Bond have raised the bar big time and the last three Bond flicks can't even be considered a guilty pleasure anymore, they are good films on their own.
The original, Connery. The first and to many the only choice for number one. What I love about his flicks are among many things the time they were made. Back then you could sneek around cause no one had camera phones and gadgets really seemed cool and novel. The straight leg suits and skinny ties, the look of the sets and the camera work all live in a time capsule and the whole thing is just stylish in a way it's hard to capture today. Also back in the day you could smack a chick on the fanny and say get on out "man talk" which will get your balls removed today. He was a big dude and he could hold his own for real, he had style and yeah he smoked but not everyday. Refined but rough at the same time, a hard combo to show on film.
OK
1, Connery: the first and still the best, the original Bond, there is no substitute
2, Craig: he only suffers from the fact that he can't ever come first and his name isn't Connery.
3, Early Moore: His early work was cool enough to place him third.
4, Daulton: He was a good Bond never really had the chance to fill up those shoes.
5, Lazenby: Better then billed, pretty solid for a one time guy, alright one time guy.
6, Brosnan: Such a disapointment for me, he sleepwalked through some really bad Bond movies with Die Another Day being so bad it should be shot and buried at sea. The only thing that keeps it from that is the bathing suit scene with Hally the Berry nough said.
7, Later Moore: Ugggg his last couple of films it was hard to buy a retired guy that puts his teeth in a jar at night could be Bond. Polyester clothing bad scripts, horrible action scenes, he was out of gas years before they booted him out the door.
8, Niven: Honorable mention? Nope
OK any takers?
PS Late Addition Bond Trivia:
In Quantom Of Solace what was agent Fields first name? Hint, she wasn't the apple of Bond's golden eye.
