Who was your favourite Bond?

"That's Bond, James Bond"!

from JoeUser Forums
I was just reading an article about Pierce Brosnan, the current, er make that the most recent actor to play James Bond. He's been released from the role just as all the other actors before him...Roger Moore, Sean Connery, and that other guy.....Timothy Dalton...sorry he didn't even last that long as a Bond. I know there was one other before Roger Moore...George Lazenby, but Roger Moore is where my memories of James Bond started!

I've also been recently watching James Bond re-runs on Channel 47 in my area...i.e., AMC. So far they're on the movies starring Sean Connery. I really enjoy re-watching them. I really like these three Bond men, Roger Moore, Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. If I had to pick only one, I would choose Pierce Brosnan. He was so suave and debonair in the role of the ladies man! Plus good looking to boot! And I've loved him since Remington Steele! I have fond memories of my mom and I watching that show on television.

So I have two questions.

1) Who was your favourite James Bond?

2) Who should be the next James Bond? (here's the list of the actors being considered)

Clive Owen
Christian Bale
Ewan McGregor
Orlando Bloom
Jude Law


I've answered who my favourite is but I have to think some more on who the next one should be!

Sean Connery was the best Bond. I thought Roger Moore was overrated. George Lazenby was, perhaps because not too many have seen his version, the most underrated. Pierce Brosnan was okay, meaning he didn't really suck, but he was just basically doing his Remington Steele role.

As for who should be the next Bond .. I think out of the 5 choices it has to be Clive Owen. Not even close. I hope they don't get Jude Law or Orlando Bloom.

Bronson Pinchot would make a funny Bond. But only if they filmed it as a drama and not as a comedy.

According to a report I saw this morning, it seems that Jude Law is the forerunner.


Oy! He's cute and everything but I don't think he suits the role as James Bond.

He seems to be the popular people's choice!


I hope they don't get Jude Law or Orlando Bloom.


Definately no Orlando, although he's charming enough but not a suitable choice I think.

No way...not drama, comedy yes. Even then, I can think of others to choose.

The best Bonds were the Man's Man kind of guys
That is why Brosnan sucked and Jude Law would not fair well.

Law and Bloom in like 10 years maybe

I definately agree with you on this! That's why I can't see Law and Bloom as James Bond either. They're goodlooking but not macho enough!

BTW the best one (in my opinion) is under the 'Season 1' link Called "Star".


Brad I couldn't open this for the life of me. No Winzip on my computer and having trouble download the program. I think I've seen this before though if it's the one written by Guy Ritchie and featuring MaDonna. It's good and I didn't realise the guy in it was Clive Owens.

Maybe the producers hope whoever gets the role will keep it for a long time.

Guess what i found at the library this weekend? Yep, a book about James Bond! Titled, James Bond The Legacy written by John Cork and Bruce Scivally! There it was just laying on a table, left by someone who was looking at it.

I borrowed it. It has information about all the men who played James Bond and even tells about "the birth of Bond" all the way to "Two Minutes into the Future". I'll do a book report/overview when I've completed reading it. I can't believe the coincidence! And it's a big heavy book too.
