It was a good Bond movie. George Lazenby actually wasn't too bad in it, but he had the misfortune of being the replacement to a legend.

Dude, Brosnan is like the epitome of suave and debonair! That dude reeks of Bond, his movies just blew.

Although Connery is a close second.

I liked all the Brosnan Bonds except maybe the last one where it started to cross over into Roger Moore era Bond. I dont get why there has been revisionist hate against them? They all made a ton of money and were popular.


Ive noticed theres been some re-thinking over the years about Daltons Bond to a more positive light. I liked the two movies he did, but thought he was pretty bland and didnt really resonate much with audiences.

Dalton actually was pretty good as Bond; he certainly played him closest to the Bond of the Fleming books. His main problems were that they weren't doing very well updating Bond to the post-Cold War times, his movies were kind of iffy at times, and he looked goofy in a tux.

Connery defined the role, though. Fleming - who didn't like him at first - was so impressed by Connery's portrayal that he actually the tailored the character to him in later books, including among other things that Bond is, in fact, Scottish. (Well, half Scottish; his mother was Swiss.) Brosnan was good, but he was recreating a role, not creating one, and being kind of thin, he lacked much of the physicality of the role.

Craig, on the other hand, has that in spades. I have no problem with him.

- Connery
- Craig/Brosnan/Dalton (tie)
(huge gap)
- Moore
- Lazenby

The Moore movies i still like, but mostly for nostalgia factor from my youth. The 2 best he did IMO were Spy Who Loved me and For Your Eyes Only.

Agreed - although Live and Let Die was pretty good, too. It had outstanding minor villains, a 19-year-old Jane Seymour, and the bayou speedboat chase scene was spectacular.

I liked The Living Daylights with Dalton as Bond. License to Kill was a complete trainwreck, bombed at the box office, and put Bond in hybernation for 6-7 years until they got Brosnan to take up the mantle.

Yea, Living Daylights was solid and a fairly more realistic down to earth take on Bond after the Moore era.

I remember License to Kill bombing and Bond was dead for a few years like you said. License to Kill has more cheese for sure (wayne Newton? really?, that cheesy 18 wheeler truck chase at the end...LOL)

The two Dalton movies were two of my favorite Bond flicks. And Dalton was the 2nd best Bond in my book (way after Connery of course). Although I have a feeling if Lazenby had continued playing Bond, Dalton would have been relegated to 3rd.

Those are actually the only 2 Moore 007 movies I like. That was because they were through backs to Connery type Bonds.

You just lost all Bond credibility. :shake:

I like the song, and Adele is perfect to sing a Bond theme. Whoever had the idea of the lyrics-on-the-screen screen-saver "video" there, though, should be fired.

Fire Me Boy! 10-04-2012 08:39 PM

Very nice. Good theme. Really, really dig it after the first chorus when the Bond theme sneaks in.

Deberg_1990 10-04-2012 09:17 PM

Cool song. Kind of a throwback to the old Connery days or early Moore era.

keg in kc 10-04-2012 11:12 PM

I really like it. It does seem to be more of a classical bond throwback sound. I don't know why, but I've had a feeling that Skyfall's going to be a great movie for a while, and this theme just feels right somehow.
