Not another James Bond poll...

tasha33333

Sorry if this thread has been duplicated, I couldn't see one recently and figured this was kind of different! I saw the post about Poll The People - http://www.ajb007.co.uk/articles/times-greatest-james-bond and wonder what do people think of the ranking so far?

It surprises me how quickly Daniel Craig has been accepted - his votes dwarf those given to Brosnan!
I stand by Brosnan, just a shame about the storylines he got!

How would people rank the bonds?

1. Connery
2. Brosnan
3. Moore
4. Craig
5. Dalton

It is not fair to judge Lazenby at all or Craig just yet, but with each of them doing just one as of right this moment I'll take Lazenby over Craig.

Which has nothing to do with his performance in the film.

GL has reflected on his youthful rashness with grace. Making decisions, right or wrong, is a trait all us mortal must endure. I'm sure his business affairs and perhaps his family matters were considered. Not whether or not this would please fans on an internet message board in the year 2008.

1) Daniel Craig

I like them all though, and the differences between the two and threes are miniscule.

Yes Brosnan got crap films, but they were too smarmy, characatures of what Bond had become.

I like the ones where there is more than just an essence of the original books.

Doesn't surprise me. Craig is the current Bond so it's not surprising that he would be in 2nd place behind Connery.

1) Connery
2) Dalton
3) Moore
4) Craig
5) Lazenby
6) Brosnan

Connery and Dalton battle it out for number 1 for me. Ultimately, Connery is probably the greatest overall Bond and the original. However, Dalton is the closest to how Fleming wrote the character and is by far the most underrated Bond actor so I voted for him in the poll. Connery didn't need my help but Dalton did.

while it's true that Lazenby made a really bad decision by turning down more Bond, that has no bearing for me on his portrayal. I and a number of other fans would love to have seen him do more as his first and only contribution is one of the highlights of the series. True, occasionaly his lack of experience was visible in places, but equally true is that he brought a muscular physicality unmatched until Craig. It was not all muscles and fisticuffs though, as he showed tremendous vulnerability, as when absolutley worn out, spent, and at the end of his resources he is rescued by Tracy. Also the final scene is superb and the most challenging in the whole series and he plays it to perfection.
It is of course pure speculation re what might have happened if he had continued, and he to may have donned the Safari Suit in later films. I can't help thinking though that his physicality would have spared us the worst excesses of The Jolly Roger and at the very least provided a counterpoint (even Sir Rogers most redoubtable supporters cannot claim that he ever looked comfortable with action, which for an action/adventure series is a real limitation)
For me the Lazenby fiasco, along with the legal wrangles that denied us a third Dalton outing are a cause of disapointment.

I've changed my opinion,new list is:

1. Connery (He is Bond and is scottish)
2. Craig (Brilliant, actually the best ever actor)
3. Brosnan (Did a great job)
4. Moore (Very camp)
5. Dalton (1st film was good)
6. Lazenby (Great film, crap actor)

Area52

1. Connery
2. Craig
3. Brosnan
4. Dalton
5. Lazenby
6. _______

Six is blank because Moore is so bad he doesn't make the list. Why? One word: MOONRAKER.

Agent Wade

1.) Craig - A Bond for my generation, cruel & dashing
2.) Connery - A Bond for my father's generation, dashin & cruel
3.) Brosnan - A good hybrid Bond mixing the comedy with the seriou
4.) Dalton - The Fleming Bond, cold & angry
5.) Lazenby - A remarkable fighter & good looking though in need of refinement
6.) Moore - A Bond of fickle ferocity, more concerned with charming the ladies than landing a convincing punch

Keep in mind that I'm ranking the actors and their portrayals; I'm not ranking the films in which they appear.

Also keep in mind that, since I think all six actors are, at the minumum, pretty good, I will say this ranks them from "best to least best."

1. Dalton (I still have never seen a James Bond with more presence)
2. Connery (naturally)
3. Craig (after his four or five movies are up, will he surpass Connery? Time will tell)
4. Brosnan (takes the part more seriously than Moore, and tried very hard to add depth to 007)
5. Moore (amusing take on the character, if a bit slight)
6. Lazenby (a bit too imitative of Connery, but still more than adequate; helped by a stunning script)
