    How was Connery bland as Bond? ?:)

    As Robert Carlyle said in an interview once " Connery was The Man !" . -{
    That's a statement I wholeheartedly agree with ! {[]

    I just don't really care for some of those early films, although I'm not being that fair to them I guess, since I've only seen them once a long time ago, I just remember that I wasn't too fond of them. I need to get them all on one format, so I can judge them accordingly now that I understand more than I did when I first started liking James Bond, which was in 1998.

    I think you'd be surprised how good those first ones were now that you've been a fan for a while.
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    I can understand for much younger fans, the early films
    Probably look quite dated. Although for me that's actually
    A bonus as they are closer to Fleming's wonderful stories
    By using similar cars etc to those he wrote about. {[]

    Didn't we have a "Best/Worst Dressed Bond" thread a while back? I think Connery came out ok in most people's eyes (bar the blue teddy bear suit in Miami) while the others tended to polarise opinions.
  • Charmed & DangerousCharmed & Dangerous Posts: 7,358MI6 Agent
    I'm surprised none of our enterprising "Bond Clothing & Memorabilia" members have attempted to recreate the blue play suit. I mean, I'd definitely get one. Then get Mrs C&D to give me a quick massage on the lido of a hotel in Southend or Frinton or somewhere ( the Miami of Essex) before having a 'man talk' with TP, Barbel or AOS... :007)

    Bad for most of us mortals, but on Connery even that look was cool! Besides, would you want to be the one to tell him about his fashion faux pax? I sure wouldn't! :))

    The mountaineering about the Whyte House was the first really good Spider-man scene.

    I don't agree. Actually in DAF he has an awful, ill fitting wardrobe. Might be the 70s fashion, but also his bad shape didn't help , which only goes to show that Connery is a mere mortal too. When he didn't work out and ate and drank too much, he didn't look good.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 38,093Chief of Staff
    Well, it's nothing compared to what Moore wore in the next couple of films. I do agree that in DAF he looked his worst- though I don't rate NSNA at least he looked better there!

    I know it might have something with his films being the most
    Contemporary but so far I think Craig has been one of the best
    Dressed Bonds. His suits in QOS were brilliant. -{

    I don't agree. Moore in LAD looks specially good,his chesterfield overcoat is really classy. He was in better shape than Connery in DAF, and it shows.

    True but fashion changes so quickly. I remember thinking Brosnan was the best dressed, but those 1990s ties look dated now, send I can't help thinking in a couple of years even Craig's QOS suits will look the same way.
