Who was the best Bond?

[MtlJeff]

Connory and Craig and it's not really close

Though Moore was the best for unintentional comedy.

Pierce Brosnan wouldve been great if not delayed due to Remington Steele contract

 

[WLG1952]

Connery. He made Bond seem real.

 

[MtlJeff]

People who hate Roger Moore need to understand the era of the bond movies he made. While they aged atrociously it's not really his fault

He's not the best Bond for sure.....but try to appreciate his movies for the unintentional comedy

It's like watching "tropic thunder" now. These movies wouldn't get made.

 

[mikeg_74]

Connery is tops followed closely by Craig for me

Moore is the guy that kept the franchise going but not much impact imo.

He’s the Ernest Goes to Camp Bond.

 

[PKorf]

Grew up with Brosnan. But, Daniel Craig is tops in my book and then Connery.

 

[MtlJeff]

He’s the Ernest Goes to Camp Bond.

In a sense yes, the Ernest movies were popular and seem ridiculous now!

Same as the Roger Moore movies

"Why did you kill my pet python mr bond"
"I discovered he had a crush on me"

 

[kiwichris]

Craig’s Bond was closer to the books, more
physical less whimsical. Craig takes a coin flip with Connery in my eyes.


Moore and Brosnan fighting the same coin flip for last place

Connery was Bond for me, it was the idea of the super spy who could do everything, who didn't need to beat everyone up but could use all the tools at his disposal.

Making the franchise a little more action-based with Craig wasn't a bad move, especially moving away from the very poor idea that Bond was bedding everything that moved was great but it didn't need to be all about explosions and fight scenes either.

 

[RealPretendPsychic]

Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond.

 

[Dartgod]

I grew up watching Connery and Moore as Bond, so they will always be my favorites.

Full disclosure, I haven't seen any new Bond movies in years, including every single Craig one.

 

[Parrot]

"Why did you kill my pet python mr bond"
"I discovered he had a crush on me"

I was thinking more along the lines of the Ernest movies are hot garbage and so are Moore’s Bond films.

 

[Coloradomrg]

Connery and Craig tie, knowing they are both playing very different versions of the same character.

Craig
Connery
Moore
Brosnan
Dalton
Lazenby

I think it's Craig hands down, but I have fond memories of Connery and Moore growing up. Lazenby at the bottom is by no means me saying I didn't think he did a good job...

 

[Slot708]

Craig stunk. Too rigid

Connery for sure

 

[USAF Retired]

Connery
Moore

Craig

Roger Moore is James Bond to me, he was in all the 70's and 80's Bond movies when I kept up with that franchise.

 

[ddec]

Bronson is my bond. First Bond movie I remember seeing in theaters with my dad was Goldeneye, and that opening scene is downright awesome. Sadly the movies he was in went downhill pretty damn quickly. I'm so glad my dad got me into these movies when I was younger.

I'll go this order.

Connery - Goldfinger is my favorite Bond Movie
Bronson - I thought he pulled of the suave Bond really well.
Craig - Casino Royale and Skyfall are two excellent watches
Moore - The Spy Who Loved Me probably my favorite one of his.
Dalton
Lazenby

Neither of the bottom two really did much for me.

 

[Mark_UK]

Daniel Craig by far the best.
Next I’d put Pierce Brosnan.
Then Connery
Roger Moore
Lazenby
Timothy Dalton brings up the rear.

I met Pierce Brosnan about 6 years ago. The only celebrity I’ve met I was completely startsruck by. How he is in the Bond films, that’s how he is in real life. It was like I was talking to James Bond. Cool AF!!!!

 

[baylrballa]

Craig by a good bit.

 

[Slowmo]

Connery
Brosnon

The Craig bond movies don’t feel like bond movies to me. Just action movies that used the Bond name.

I wish the scripts/plots of the Brosnon movies had been better. If he had had the Dalton movies like he should have he would be remembered more fondly.

1. Connery
