Page 1 of The James Bond poll - I don`t know who to vote for!! lol

I`m a HUGE Bond fan - I don`t really know who my favourite is - I`ve liked them all for different reasons (it`s like picking your favourite Dr Who!).

I know SC will win this - but I do think he was a bit over-rated. Yes, he was great as Bond, but don`t just discount the others. Most people will probably vote for him because he was the original/first actor to play Bond (not counting Bob Holness and Barry Nelson ;) ) but I think some of the others have done it just as well (if not better). (...and I don`t care what anyone says, "Diamonds Are Forever" is by far the weakest entry in the series!).

I`m torn between RM and TD - RM was my Bond - ie. the one I grew up watching and I love his movies - but I also love the tough, grittiness of TD and his 2 films are 2 of my favourites. (and then there`s PB of course, who brought Bond back with a bang and reinvigorated the franchise in the 90s...)

Oh, what to do....

*(edit)*....there - voted for RM. And surprise, surprise, SC is way out in front... :(

Let me guess: there`ll be a similar Dr Who poll soon - mmmm, can`t think who would win that! ;)

Even tho Sean was excellent, and the best, I supported Timothy Dalton, because he was the one that brought James Bond back to what he was supposed to be, a hard arse secret agent, even though he had the puns they were used sparingly this time, and with License to Kill gave Bond a new kind of edge.

Bronson was excellent but apart from Goldeneye, I don`t think the rest of the stories were up to much.

I vote for Lazenby as he was in the best Bond movie; he`s therefore the best Bond IMO.

That`s a very good point - do we vote for the actor/their portrayal(sp?) or the movies they were in? If so, it could well be Lazenby - OHMSS is just superb!

lol. Im shocked!

I voted the same as floyd for pretty much the same reasons. Also he`s the only Bond ive met in person (met him in Derbys HMV, hes a local boy). A proper gent.

But, Connery and Moore were in with a shout. Connery was rough, tough and a smooth operator and Moore, well, if im in the mood, I prefer can prefer to watch a Moore movie as they are funny as hell. But Moore was in the worst Bond movie ever (Octopussy) so it kinda discounted him.

Lazenby? Well OHMSS might be one of the best but he is certainly the worst. He couldnt even do his own accent for Sir Hilary!

The Geek trio in Buffy had this one worked out:

Andrew: We are really super villains now, like . . . like Dr. No.

Warren: Yeah, back when Bond was Connery and the movies were decent.

Jonathon: (scoffing) Who remembers Connery? I mean, Roger Moore was smooth.

Warren: You're insane. You're short, and you're insane.

Andrew: I like Timothy Dalton!

Warren: Connery is Bond. He had style.

Jonathan: Yeah, but Roger Moore was funny.

Warren: Moonraker? The gondola turns into a hovercraft? It's retarded. Besides, the guy had, like, no edge.

Andrew: Dalton had edge. In License to Kill he was a rogue agent. That's edgy. (Warren and Jonathon look at him incredulously). And he was amazing in The Living Daylights.

Jonathan: Yeah, which was written for Roger Moore, not Timothy Dalton!

Warren: Okay, this is stupid! We're wasting time. End of discussion. (Jonathon and Andrew nod their agreement, turn to their consoles, and begin typing)…I mean, there's a shot of like, pigeons, doing double takes when the gondola blasted by! Moonraker . . . is inexcusable. (Andrew and Jonathan stare at him).


Warren: Connery is the only actor in the bunch.

Andrew: Timothy Dalton should get an Oscar and BEAT SEAN CONNERY OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!

:D

Yes the worst Bond ever but in the best bond movie,strange how things work out, I voted for Connery but Moore was not far behind him, my favourite Bond movies are.

OHMSS
Goldfinger
Live and let die
Diamonds are forever. :)

Best baddie....Odd job :)

Dalton was a true actor so he gets my vote.

Connery was too far removed from an English spy
Moore was a comedian
Lazenby looked half asleep
Niven was too old
Brosnan has too much hair.

I haven`t seen the Bronson bond. :(

Where`s the option "I`ve never voluntarily watched a James Bond film in my entire life" ? :o
