The bond movies and actors are overrated IMO, but to each his one. Still, best bond song is by Paul. And Jaws was cool, especially in the The Longest Yard too.

Always liked Roger Moore, though Craig is also good. Of course, Connery, too. I guess the only one I truly didn't like was Lazerby.

Anyway, this film was delayed so long and so many times that I had a hard time remembering the last one (or had seen so many ads for this one I thought I had already seen it at a couple of points). I kept thinking Rami Malek was the villain in the last one.

That doesn't even make sense.

Roger Moore was awful as Bond. The man had no athleticism at all. All the stunts and action scenes were embarrassing. Best Bond....Sean Connery, next Daniel Craig and third...George Lazenby.

Best villain.. Dr No

Best henchman.... Odd Job

Best female .... Pussy Galore

Best song... Goldfinger

Best film... Goldfinger

Moore was the best. Bond is a bit of panto - saving the world, copping off and one-liners. Bollocks to all the dark, brooding nonsense. The ‘So does England’ line when he walks out the door in a garish ski suit is what it’s all about.

Nobody did it better.

Live and Let Die for the best tune.

Roger Moore was awful as Bond. The man had no athleticism at all. All the stunts and action scenes were embarrassing.

He was completely flatfooted and needed a stunt double just for his legs - you never saw him running in full shot. Looked great in a tuxedo though, and was clearly having a great time.

Let's see. Best Bond actor: Sean Connery. Best Bond villain: A tie between Goldfinger and Blofeld (as played by Donald Pleasance). Best henchman: Oddjob. Best title song: Live and Let Die; Best Bond film: Goldfinger.

I’m leaning towards Craig as the best Bond. I haven’t seen the latest one yet, but I’ve enjoyed all of his movies so far as Bond (and reviews suggest this one is good too). The only other actor to play Bond who has been in nothing but good movies is George Lazenby, and he was only in one movie.

Connery was good and would be my second pick, but Diamonds are Forever was a misfire. Timothy Dalton was pretty good in both his outings and would be tied with Lazenby as my number 3. Moore was just too old for the part in most of his movies, and while I liked Goldeneye I found the rest of Brosnan’s movies to be pretty forgettable.

Come to think of it, one of the most impressive things about Craig is that he is now about the same age Moore was towards the end of his tenure. While Craig does look his age, he also looks pretty fit and still capable. Moore in contrast looked like an elderly retiree shopping at a suburban Wal Mart in upstate New York in A View to a Kill.

Henry Cavill will now definitely bring both the necessary physicality and suave demeanor inherent to the character of James Bond. Daniel Craig depicted both of these aspects of the character quite well as a pre-2016 Bond. Yet, seems Sean Connery will always be “The Original, James Bond” immortalized from when he first lit a cigarette & introduced himself with his unmistakable James Bond strumming in the background.

… James Bond theme strumming ….

Also, the opening title ‘fight scenes’ and song of Craig’s Casino Royale stand out. Hoping the upcoming movies will bring back the tastefully-done, “nude” gymnastics that fueled many a young man’s aspirations to live the life of Bond.

Like most here, Sean Connery and Daniel Craig.

Sean Connery's bond was probably closest to the original image of the books set in a post-war world, but Craig bought it into the modern era. Moore and Brosnan's Bonds were just too theatrical.

For the sake of trivia, a shoutout to the forgotten Bond - Bob Holness, who those of a certain age might remember from Blockbusters.

It's a tie between Sean Connery and Daniel Craig for best Bond for me.

I loved Adele's Skyfall for title song. It sent shivers down my spine the first time I heard it. That combined with the opening credits for this Bond movie was just chef's kiss.

For the best Bond villain, well Blofeld is just iconic. I also like Le Chiffre but mostly because Mads Mikkelsen played the character so darn well.

Lastly, for best Bond film...can't really choose. There are some great gems in this franchise.

I will miss Daniel Craig as Bond. Best of luck to whoever they get to replace him.

A question for the JT editor. Much focus on Daniel Craig, James Bond, villains, henchmen/women, songs and overall, specific Bond films. (5-6 articles in 3 weeks) Will equal space be given to Bond’s “women”, specifically, the “Bond Girls”. (Not all were hench-persons[?], villianesses, etc. Some, he just encountered, worked with, loved or ‘passed in the night’?)

No contest.......

Pussy Galore I must be dreaming

Before my time....

No disrespect, Daniel Wroughton Craig.

I want to be shaken not stirred, not caught up in a whirlwind of wokery.

I want Goldfinger, Dr NO, not Thunderwoke
