Dissy:
Casino Royale was an excellent movie, leagues better than almost all the other James Bond movies. I love Goldeneye.

Very true, the older ones with Sean Connery and Roger Moore were ok but the more recent ones went from fiction to science fiction and became all about (rather obvious) product placement. "Gosh Moneypenny, look at the extreeeme closeup of my sexy new watch. Now I must leave in my sexier new (stealth?!) car..." hmmm subtle(?)
Don't even get me started on the evil media mogul film...oooh fear him :evil: And the titles became more and more awful "The World never dies", "Tomorrow is not enough" & "Die Later That Afternoon" :D I always found them rather random. Take a few dramatic words mix randomly and bake for 40 minutes...
Casino Royale was much much closer to Fleming's Bond.

I've never been that much of a Bond fan, but I do have to admit to having a soft spot for the Timothy Dalton ones. He was badass.

Are you seriously defending Quantum of Solace as being better than the Dalton-era names? Every time I see it I think they're talking about a new Castlevania game!
The only bond movies I really, really like are the Roger Moore ones. He brought a dignity to the role, and I don't recall them being nearly as woman-objectifying as the Connery movies. And while I like Connery in a lot of roles, for some reason I just never gelled with his Bond portrayal. Not to say there weren't great movies in some of his, but as a whole, as I said, I prefer the Moore run.
Scandanavian War Machine:
Connery was probably the worst bond.
i mean, i liked his movies just the same (pretty much) but he was just not good as James Bond (he can't even pretend to be British, for starters).
