Bond. Best Bond.

he was in golden gun so yes

There's a reason Amy Winehouse named Roger specifically

>>212038127 (OP)
Brosnan is the best
Roger Moore thought that Craig was the best

>>212038127 (OP)
He was the best bond but diamonds was the best bond kino. Go figure.

>>212038127 (OP)
Wanna hear the dumb reason I hated him for years? I saw a picture from one of his films where he was dressed up in his Navy uniform and it had flared pant legs. Like bell bottoms. I thought "ha what bullshit no way the British navy had bell bottoms at some point" and decided I hated the Moore era for years after that. I got over it

>>212038127 (OP)
*BLOCKS YOUR PATH*

>>212038219
Moore would've fit Diamonds better

>>212038279
He's great. TND and TWINE are excellent Bonds that I don't get the hate for.

>>212038480
TWINE has a few things that undercut the movie.
>Renard's stupid bullet-brain thing
>Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist
>some really awful puns like "Christmas is coming twice this year"
I know the Bond movies get pretty campy, but all that shit really didn't belong in this dark story about Bond finding out that his latest love interest is the villain.

>>212039116
I don't know any doctor jokes

A View To A Kill has its own cult fanbase within the general Bond fanbase.
It's got some flaws that keep me from calling it unequivocally great, but I do love it and there isn't another movie, let alone Bond movie, that scratches the itch AVTAK scratches.

>>212039116
The Christmas jokes were pretty funny, but the rest is correct. Denise Richards was so laughably poorly cast it's insane. The Bond Girl being the villain would have worked much better if she was the only Bond Girl in the film.

>>212038127 (OP)
Octopussy is severely overhated and I don't care who disagrees.

>>212038127 (OP)
Ermagash! Yer dat Anglish spy from Angerland!!!!

>>212039487
Yes Octopussy is overhated, the scenes in India were beautiful and the story was interesting. For Your Eyes Only is extremely overrated.

>>212039487
Octopussy is the best Moore Bond
>>212039681
I'm running into a lot of opinions that FYEO is boring, and I understand. When you haven't watched it in a while you don't remember much exciting. But I'm always surprised how much I love it every time I do watch it. Also I used to hate Bibi, but she's grown on me over the viewings.

>>212039949
FYEO has the most comically bad opening of any movie ever with the Blofeld shit, Bibi sucks, the villain sucks and the plot is boring. Feels like a bad TV movie compared to movies like Spy Who Loved Me.

>>212038127 (OP)
>>212038279
ENTER

>>212038127 (OP)
Roger Moore is my least favorite Bond after Craig. No, I didn't forget about Lazenby, he's higher.

>>212038127 (OP)
Right, darn right.

I love his scenes with dubya Pepper.

>>212040432
Daltonfags are mentally ill

>>212038219
Diamonds was one of the worst. What drugs are you on?

George Lazenby decision to not do a sequel due to typecasting fears will go down as one of the most bone headed decisions in hollywood.

So what if you're typecasted? You make 3 or 4 more bond films, make your millions to invest and retire into the sunset.

>>212038279
Good Bond terrible films

>>212039949
>>212040228
FYEO has some of the best action in the series.
>car chase
>arguably a better ski chase than OHMSS
>shootout with Bond and Milos Columbo vs. Locque at the heroin factory
>underwater fight with JIM diver
>underwater fight with Bond and Melina's sub vs. the evil sub
>keelhauling scene
>climbing fight scene
>all the monastery fight scenes

>>212038127 (OP)
why is he so fat.

Fuck that shit, what is the best song?
For me, it's Goldfinger. It set the tone for pretty much every other one after it.

>>212047185
Goldeneye is GOAT and still rated varying top 5 of many movie critic's top 5 bond films

>kino
FRWL, Goldfinger, OHMSS, TSWLM, LTK, Goldeneye, Casino Royale

>good
Dr. No, Thunderball, FYEO, TLD

>decent
Octopussy, TND, TWINE

>enjoyably campy
YOLT, Moonraker

>shit
DAF, LALD, TMWTGG, AVTAK, DAD, all the Craig sequels

Best henchman reporting in

>>212047260
A View To A Kill is fire even if I dislike the movie

Thunderball is so good they made it three times.

>>212047905
I count two thus far, shooter.

>>212047956
What's the third one?

>>212047346
DAF is peak camp.

>>212047936
>made a Bond song just to style on McCartney

>>212047346
LOLD and TMWTGG are kino tho

>>212047346
Dalton is the worse (Craig isn't Bond)

>>212047260
I really like The World Is Not Enough.

>>212049529
Connery is the worst

>>212038207
>Roger Moore thought that Craig was the best
Suddenly I no longer like Moore

>>212038279
is he wearing hiking shoes?

>>212050358
Connery and Brosnan are top tier. Moore is always lots of fun.

you are a contrarian

Dalton gas two movies and virgin are great.

>>212039487
When I was in primary school we played a game called octopussy every week.

>>212038449
>Moore would've fit Diamonds better

That's a good point. Lots of Bond films would have been much better if they had cast the right actor as 007:

FILM: Diamonds Are Forever
RIGHT BOND: Roger Moore
WHY: Needs a goofy guy sleep-walking through the role not taking it seriously

FILM: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
RIGHT BOND: Timothy Dalton
WHY: Needs a basically serious 007

FILM: The Man With The Golden Gun
RIGHT BOND: Sean Connery
WHY: Abusing Maud Adams was much more a Sean thing than a Roger thing

FILM: A View To A Kill
RIGHT BOND: Pierce Brosnan
WHY: He would have been about the right age

>>212039116
>Tfw you have no problem with Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist because not prejudiced against insanely hot people
Feels good, as a result TWINE is near flawless to me, the biggest issue being the very brief dodgy CGI on the helicoptersaw.

welcome, to fantasy island

>>212047277
Goldeneye is easily top 5 action movies of the 90s, which puts it high on the running for best action movies of all time.

>>212038127 (OP)
>based Bond sporting the .44 mag to be like "Dirty" Harry Callahan.

>>212049529
>(Craig isn't Bond)
TRVTHNVKE

Best Bond film is a matter of taste but the lesser categories have pretty clearcut answers I think:—


Best pre-credits sequence: The Spy Who Loved Me

Best song: Casino Royale

Best villain: Christopher Lee (The Man With The Golden Gun)

Best girl (main): Claudine Auger (Thunderball)

Best girl (evil): Luciana Paluzzi (Thunderball) [although if you say Xenia Onatopp I have no quarrel with you]

Best henchman: Jaws (The Spy Who Loved Me & Moonraker)

Best car: The Spy Who Loved Me

Best ‘they really did it’ stunt: Car bridge jump (The Man With The Golden Gun)

Best fight: From Russia With Love, probably [although Casino Royale had a decent one]

Best gadget: Scaramanga's gun assembled from desk objects (The Man With The Golden Gun) [007's gadgets are all silly]

Best chase: Citroen 2CV (For Your Eyes Only), probably [although Pierce Brosnan in the tank was fun]

Best lame pun: ‘I think he’s attempting re-entry, sir’ (Moonraker)

Am I the only one who thinks the best move for the franchise is a book accurate period movie adaptation of Casino Royale? I read the original novel a few years ago and thought it was amazing, far better as a tense east vs west cold war thriller instead of the world police super cop direction of the Craig movie.

>>212047905
>tosses explosive milk at you
https://youtu.be/aKiCV6CG4Sc?si=OT3ISNp5hq_AB6uf

This would've been the best Bond movie ever if it wasn't a game. Willem Dafoe, Heidi Klum, Shannon Elizabeth, Mýa, as well as all the Brosnan era leads, insane lineup.

>>212046040
Just like Bond should be

>>212053339
for me it's Agent Under Fire. found out I could emulate it on my phone recently and been playing through it again.

I like Brosnan because I'm a late millennial and I grew up with him.

>>212040432
I think Dalton is probably the best actor to have played Bond but he's not a good Bond. He feels too American.

>>212053167
I want a book accurate live and let die

>>212047346
>bond happily mowes down thousands of innocent russian soldiers
Goldeneye is shit, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

Why is there so much ntr in bond movies?
>stealing gf's, wives, killing an enemy operative and having his fiancee fall in love with you despite her finding out

>>212056360
>killing an enemy operative and having his fiancee fall in love with you despite her finding out
that one was really egregious, desu.

>>212047240
Because he was 57 when playing Bond.

>>212047240
A diet of caviar, champagne and vodka martinis will do that to a man.

I enjoyed the roger moore movies as a kid but they’re just too fucking silly

>>212038127 (OP)
Mid Bond.

Connery > Brosnan > Dalton > Moore > Lazenby

>>212047346
>Craig bad
“Do I fit in guys”

Most mid Bond with the worst ratio of good-to-bad movies.

>Connery
3 classics (Moscow, Goldfinger, YOLT)
2 mids (Thunderball, Dr No)
1 shit (Diamonds)

>Moore
1 classic (The Spy Who Loved Me)
4 mids (Live and Let Die, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy)
2 shit (View to a Kill, The Man with the Golden Gun)

>Dalton
1 classic (The Living Daylights)
1 mid (License to Kill)

>Brosnan
2 classics (Goldeneye, TND)
1 mid (TWINE)
1 shit (Die Another Day)

>Craig
2 classics (Casino Royale, Skyfall)
1 mid (Spectre)
2 shit (Quantum, No Time to Die)

for me, it's Lewis Gilbert and while I don't vibe with all of John Glen he's prolly the biggest journeyman the franchise has, respect.

>Implying tmwtgg isn't top tier

>>212055080
no he feels too much like Hugh Grant trying to play a trained killer.

Moore is the only guy who can't make me believe he's actually killed people. Every movie he eventually turns stone cold and wastes a nigga but I never buy it.
Connery, Brosnan, Dalton, Craig, now those are guys I believe killed people in cold blood

>>212058105
>Hugh Grant trying to play a trained killer
kino

>>212052180
I'll add:
FILM: Goldenye
RIGHT BOND: Dalton
WHY: It was supposed to be him anyways, dammit

>>212038480
>>212039116
TND has some pacing issues but is an otherwise good film and is possibly the most underrated Bond film. Elliot Carver is up there as GOAT Bond villain and the movie's themes are more relevant then ever. TWINE has a weak main villain, some bad editing, and tonal inconsistencies that drags the film down, but I still enjoy it.

>>212039116
Elektra is a top-tier femme fatale. But the movie does have tonal problems. It tries to be gritty and campy at the same time which comes off as odd. Like the writers were fighting over making it Moore-esque or Dalton-esque when they should have been making it Brosnan-esque.

>>212053339
>>212053425
I'm a Nightfire guy.
>best game since Goldeneye
>better theme than the actual Bond movies of the era
>would have made a great "reboot" of moonraker

>>212057885
>Moonraker
>mid
lmfao

In the perfect world:
>Connery makes OHMSS and bows out as the 60s end
>Moore joins in Diamonds are Forever and stays until Moonraker
>Dalton joins in For Your Eyes Only. Octopussy and View to A Kill are reworked to fit his more serious Bond
>Bows out at License to Kill
>Brosnan makes Goldeneye and he gets an extra movie after Die Another Day

the perfect timeline

>>212060352

>Craig gets tragically eaten by a rhinocerous after Casino Royale, leaving him remembered as potentially the greatest 007 of them all

>>212061229
Better
>casino Royale is never made and the series continues on without a reboot

>>212038177
>My nigga.
I think it's just me and you, but idgaf.

>>212038207
He probably just said that to be supportive of the guy who was currently playing the role.
What else is he going to say, he's a complete faggot?

>>212038279
He had the same problem as Craig in that his movies were heavily reliant on the villain holding up the movie. He had Sean Bean with Goldeneye and that's it, I can't even remember who the rest of his villains were.
At least Craig had Mads Mikkelson and Javier Bardem.

Top 3 Bond Girls, go:
For me, it's
>Pam Bouvier (Licence to Kill), short-haired women are my weakness
>Xenia Onatopp (GoldenEye), essecially the perfect version of the horny villain Bond Girl
>Madeleine Swann (Spectre), her in that silver dress is insane
Runner ups: Tracy, Dr Goodhead, Jinx, Kara Milovy

>>212062306
Uhm how about he makes a good Bond?
Nope, there's absolutely nothing else to say in support other than he's the best

>>212062551
pic related + Maryam d'Abo in Daylights
Dalton had the best babes. It's him and Brosnan. But yeah Lea Seydoux is ridiculously beautiful in Spectre

>>212062510
Robert Carlyle in TWINE
Jonathan Pryce TND
Both good villains

RUH ROH

>>212062730
shaken not stirred FR FR!

>>212052180
a specific way Brosnan would have been good for AVTAK is that Brosnan would be perfect as the aloof rich kid who inherited a stable and mistreats the help. Moore is fantastic in those scenes, but the cover story is more fitting of a spoiled brat.
and for the record, AVTAK is great the way it is. any flaws are part of the charm.

>>212052180
I still say that Connery should have made OHMSS but simply because that movie is mostly a subversion of 60s Bond as a whole.

Imagine if after the 7 year-long Bondmania we got a movie where Connery is vulnerable, where he wears a skirt, where he falls in love and gets married, where he loses in the end. Would have been unironically culture-defining. People would be talking about that ending where Bond cries over the dead Bond girl's body to this day
