It's interesting how this displays exactly my feelings about Bond. I have the feeling that Craig and Brosnan are just too much. They feel like some action movies with a character I don't care about (sure Craigs Bonds were better action movies then Brosnans but they've all not been Bond to me.). We don't have to talk about Lazenby and Dalton. Moore and Connery were just perfect. They've fitted perfectly in the flair the cold war had and they will always remain my Bonds. With style.

I also took "The Tailor of Panama" as the missing part of Brosnans Bonds.

I actually thought Brosnan played a great Bond, but just suffered from a set of bad scripts. I only enjoyed GoldenEye. And as much as I enjoyed Casino Royale, I really wish they would've let Quentin Tarantino make it with Brosnan like he wanted to.

Golden Eye was special because it was the first Bond you really wanted to see after a decade and my first Bond in cinema. I went there with my father for the premiere at 0:07 so it left us with a special feeling. Looking at it today, I think it wasn't that good but it was not a Dalton for sure.

> In the new Bond film, “Skyfall”, Heineken has paid to ensure the hero only drinks beer.

At least it wasn't Corona. Though that's no Bond.

I think that a lot of the "Bond World" has a lot to do with Bond's team as a whole than simply Bond himself. That is, the interactions between M, Q, Felix, Miss Moneypenny et cetera.

To be fair on the conquests stats, George Lazenby did end up in a castle on a mountain surrounding by "beauties, everyone of them different": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVP2n_GcdlQ#t=0m40s

And he wore a kilt, went commando and gave the ladies easy access to his junk. I mean, what more reason did they need?

Here's Brendan Dawes' take on James Bond kills:

"... the image pays homage to the wonderful opening titles to Dr. No by Maurice Binder. Bond only killed one person in The Man With The Golden Gun yet seemed to go a little crazy in GoldenEye..."

I think Dalton was an excellent Bond, better than Connery or Moore. I find Moore and Brosnan to be ridiculous, whereas Dalton is suitably psycopathic and dark. I like Craig's take on Bond too, but the plot lines of the films are disappointing.

I agree that the most recent Bond films have felt like ridiculous action movies.
