Dalton was the closest to the book, but the movies were horrible. Its too bad he didn't get good scripts. I would have been interested in what he could have done with better source material |

Are you friggin' kidding me? "Are they worth watching", sheesh! You can see the original man's man, Sean Connery, the best 007 ever kicking ass. Don't bother with the movies starring the prissy Roger Moore though.

"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die." Interesting facts. The German actor that played Goldfinger couldn't speak English and his lines were all dubbed. Also, he was a former Nazi, but he left the party before WWII and hid some Jews during the war. Only after a family testified about his helping Jews during WWII did Israel allow the film to be shown. |

The early JB films are interesting to watch from the cultural perspective. Until 007, good guys usually let the bad guy have the first shot (luckily, they missed). Until 007, no one had a license to kill. Smoking was OK, still. Men wore hats.
Dr. No and From Russia with Love are interesting because those two movies came out before gadgetry was added, in a big way, to the James Bond formula. Goldfinger was the first JB film that I consider had every element of James Bond. It was a gold standard that would lead to copy cats in the form of Man from U.N.C.L.E., movie parodies such as Dean Martin's Matt Helm series or James Coburn's Flint, many serious spy thriller movies, TV parodies such as Get Smart, and even cartoons that spoofed the spies and gadgets. |

I almost think there is an age limit to appreciating Bond films.
If you were born after a certain date, flying has never been an event in itself. It is just being packed into a metal tube as a means of getting somewhere. A car with a phone isn't just science fiction. Some people have never known a world without a cell phone, which makes a car phone just sound silly. |

Connery is the best Bond. The other Bonds are just cheap imitations. The first five films are classics: Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger Thunderball You Only Live Twice In my opinion nothing that has come after them even comes close - and this includes the Bond girls in those films: super hot 60s chicks.

The old Sean Connery ones are great. Roger Moore's can be hit or miss but Live and let Die is awesome. Timothy Dalton *meh* Pierce Brosnans are cheezy but ok. George Lazenby the one hit Wonder i try to forget.

To really appreciate Bond movies, you have to consider the times they were released.
I went to see Dr.No at the movies when it came out. No one knew anything about James Bond. In the part where he is waiting at the girl's apartment for the guy to come to shoot him, and he is playing solitaire with the silencer on his pistol........... He ends up shooting the bad guy a couple of times and the guy falls. Then James calmly gives him the final anchoring shot to assure that he is dead. That was the first time a movie "hero" did such a thing. It was unheard of. It changed what a "hero" would be from then forward. |

It was the height of the Western, "white hat" good guy era later parodied by such classics as Rustler's Rhapsody. The good guy just didn't do that sort of thing. Well, Han Solo later would, until he later didn't. George Lucas could have used an understanding of the character introduction effect that such things have. |

Wife and I started on the boxed set a few years ago. Enjoyed all of the Connery stuff. Lost interest after the first few Roger Moore films.
I've enjoyed 50% of the Daniel Craig movies immensely. Even named a new family member after one of the characters. |

There was one Bond film, Never Say Never Again, that was not sanctioned by Fleming. It was a bitter thing and Connery's last film. You notice the difference from the very beginning when the classic Bond opening is not used in the film. I thought this one was "ok", but not as good as the other films that were produced by Eon Productions.

Sean Connery is a ligitament bad ass. Kicked one of Micky Cohen's enforcers asses on set.
In 1957, Stompanato became so jealous about Turner's relationship with future James Bond actor Sean Connery, he flew to the United Kingdom. He stormed onto the set of Another Time, Another Place threatening Connery with a gun. Unperturbed, the 6 ft 2 in Scotsman, who was a former body builder, bent Stompanato's hand back forcing him to drop the weapon.[4][5] He was reported to the police and quietly deported from the United Kingdom.[6] After Stompanato's death, it was rumored that at least one LA mobster held Connery responsible, leading the actor to go into hiding for a short time afterwards.[7][5][6] |
