Daniel Craig was a stellar Bond. Bronsan was terrible — go back and watch Goldeneye again. It hasn't aged well at all.
Anyways, this is bullshit. Too bad.

WHAT ARE YOU NUGENT? SOME KIND OF JOKER?
"Brosnan" was a great bond...and Goldeneye is a fantastic bond film.
I wonder if it's the age gap...but I love Brosnan and despise Craig as Bond.

I just watched it like a year ago, and it wasn't nearly as good as I'd remembered.

No and no.
I do think Brosnan could have been a good Bond. But I don't think he was.
Having your own personal favorites is great, but watching people like you and jdd1510 discuss who is the "most Bond" is laughable. This is going to sound condescending and arrogant, but what the hell, it's thousands of posts too late to start worrying about that. People like you don't know shit about James Bond.
When people like you try to judge what is or is not "Bond", usually what is happening is that those people are using Connery as the starting point of the comparison, not the James Bond character himself.
Craig is just as close to "Bond" as Connery was.
Dalton, and is some ways Lazenby -- yes, Lazenby -- were CLOSER to "Bond". So put that in your ignorant pipe and smoke it.
The other thing people commonly do is take the first Bond they saw growing up, and use that as the beginning point for comparison. That's why I like Roger Moore so much. But I'm not dumb enough to claim he's the "most Bond". Hell, from the Broccoli/Saltzman movies, he's probably the furthest from the real character by a pretty good margin. I still enjoy some of his movies the most, but I don't claim he's what Bond really is or should be.
In summation: Read a fucking book once in a while.
You seem to be jumping the gun. I never called anyone "most" bond. Fleming's Bond is original character and there's no argument there. I feel that Brosnan is a better bond than Craig and I truly dislike Craig as bond. He's a good actor but the casting was all wrong.
Also, kid, I own hard covers of all Ian Fleming's bond stories; I've read them all as well...since I was very young.
The first bond I saw growing up was Dalton. He's neither my favorite or least favorite. So I don't know what "you people" you are talking about?
Silly goose, you sure did come off condescending but also uneducated about what other members know. You shouldn't assume that everyone else here is a dolt.

I do not like James Bond movies at all. Just thought I'd tell all of you that.

Not everyone. And you don't even top the list. Although you try.
True, that was your partner in bitching, jdd1510.
False. He was as well cast as Connery. Any complaint you could make about Craig not fitting the role would apply about equally to Connery.

Mathew Broderick was the best one.
I would throughly enjoy a Mathew Broderick bond film.
Shit, or even a Jimmy Bond spin off, staring Woody Allen of course.

Boy, someone's sure acting old and crotchety, aren't they?
I've read more than half of the Bond books, so I think I have a pretty good idea of who is and isn't a good Bond character. I've got every right to rank who I think does a better job of portraying the character. I'd explain my reasoning further, but I think it would fall on deaf ears.
Stop pretending to be an elitist asshole and allow people their own opinions. I suppose you want to explain to me in the greatest of detail why Timothy Dalton is the greatest Bond to ever live. Pathetic.

Craig was good in the one movie (Casino Royale) I saw, but I don't think he's what Bond should be. I have no particular favorite, other than Connery... but I'm all about the classics.
Exactly. MGM's problem is they make other movies...
Are you saying the Z3 (LOL) doesn't stand up to other Bond cars???
I guess so... Surely that means they are pretty much fucked ?First you have to invest a stack of cash to film them, and I think with MGMs current credit record no one is going to lend them someI was quite surprised when I heard this, thought Bond films had always made a stack of cash

no, he's legitimately wooden. He has one face. One emotion. One tone.

Couldn't agree with this statement more than anything, Dalton was badass and still is.
I'm the slasher.... of prices!

I still like the theory that there are multiple Bonds.
Oh, and Daniel Craig was an interesting Bond...not better or worse, but interesting. He had a certain dangerous quality about him that some of the other Bonds lacked, especially Roger Moore. Timothy Dalton had a little bit of this, and Connery had a bit of it, but Craig has it in spades. He comes on the screen and you know that someone is going to get shot, stabbed, or otherwise mangled. In fact, that's one of the reasons why Quantum of Solace was so bad...a killing machine like that shouldn't be avenging a "lost love", especially one that tried to screw him over.
As far as who the best Bond is, I'm not sure that Sean Connery was the best James Bond, but he was certainly in the best James Bond movies. (He was also in the worst one, Never Say Never Again.)

Clearly, you don't.
I'm not asking you your opinion. I'm telling you what your opinion should be.
You should be thanking me instead of typing a lot of nonsense. I'm giving you the correct opinion for free.

I have to agree with STK.
It's incredible how many people haven't read the Bond books, or if they have, they apparently never paid attention to anything that ever happened in the books.

Being jealous of you would be like being jealous of some religious nut who thinks evolution never happened.
