    Nobody's mentioned this yet?

    If you believe Craig, it's Austin Powers that's responsible for the super serious Bond movies. They did campy Bond jokes better than actual Bond movies. Where do you go from there?

    After reading many posts, and reflecting a bit more myself:

    Kind of hard, difficult separating the actors from the movies. For instance, I will take Moore in Man with the Golden Gun over Connery in some of his later installments. But I will also take Connery in Dr No as well as Craig in Casino Royale over pretty much anything else.

    Same kind of thing for gadgets. As many others have stated when I was a kid they were really one of the things that Drew me to the theater. However when I got older and not so much. That being said, who in their right mind wouldn't want the car from Goldfinger, even as an adult? I mean Wing mounted machine guns, smokescreen generator, oil slick generator, and an ejector seat for the passenger!

    Many of the later gadgets just didn't do it. They felt more like something that would belong on the bat belt.

    Confession time. That’s an Alan Patridge quote. Aha!

    But it sums up my feelings about Roger.

    Connery and Craig are the best, but Brosnan had a true Bond scene. Bond is a killer, and for me there are three scenes where that really comes out.

    Dr. No: when Bond kills his would be assassin and throws an extra round in him for good measure.

    Tomorrow Never Dies: when Bond kills the assassin with his own P7 while the assassin pleads with him.

    Casino Royale: Bond's second kill.

    What, no love for Roger Moore?

    Dr. Kaufman; that look in Brosnan's eye. Scene begins 3:30



    Theres a later scene in Tomorrow Never Dies that also stuck with me. He's sneaking into the stealth boat, and Bond straight up stabs a guard in the heart with boot knife, then uses his body to fake his own death. Sadly I can't find a clip of it.

    The second Casino Royale was, for me, the first time that 'James Bond' was ever believable.

    In (the second) Casino Royale, Daniel Craig's 'Bond' was a real soldier, and he looked like one; he looked like he'd just got back from Afganistan.

    I've never been able to make it all the way through a Bond movie with Roger Moore.
