Surely that can't influence your vote?

Sure, the film was great, but could you imagine it being Connery playing that bond? That would of made it even better.

:shock:

Connery was the definitive Bond for me, with Brosnan a close second as he seemed to be the perfect mix of Connery and Moore. Such a shame that Brosnan far outclassed the material he had to work with!

I can't say I like Craig's Bond, he lacks a personality.

I was just stating that Goldeneye is my favourite Bond film.

I voted, like you, for Connery.

Should have been Clive Owen.

I'd like to see what Craig could do with a bit more of an exciting script. I'd like to see if he could put charisma into the character, if the script called for it. So far the first two films of his era have been too serious to justify it.

Brosnan is the best bond by far. And when ever the name is mentioned to me, hes the one who comes into my head.
He suits the role of James Bond perfectly.

I liked all of them. They each bring their own thing to roll.

I voted Lazenby though, just for the lulz.

It's hard to choose really. My favourites are Sean Connery, Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan (although he got the short straw in that all his films were mega gooseberry fool, apart from Goldeneye). I think I'd go with Daniel Craig though purely because Casino Royale is the only Bond film I could say I honestly really enjoyed and is the only one I own. Oh but then Goldeneye is great and I really like Brosnan. But I really like Danny Craggy too.

Oh strawberry float it. I shall not vote for such a thing.

In fairness to Craig, he is playing Bond faithfully to the Bond of the novels. Cold, calculating and remorseless. Depends how you like your Bond I suppose.

Timothy Dalton all the way for me.

I liked Dalton. I think he wasn't really given a fair go. Really liked license to kill.

Aye. They were a bit grittier than the bonds before them but still had their fair share of over the top moments.

Plus Dalton was strawberry floating hot. My childhood crush.

Yep, always thought License to Kill was one of the better films. I don't remember The Living Daylights too well, it's one of a handful I've only ever seen once. I did try and watch it online a while back but the second part was down.

I think he should have been given at least one more film. And the soundtrack had Gladys Knight too. WIN!
