4. Dr. No (1962) - 9/10
I'm sure @doubleogo liked DN more to begin with, and Connery's appearance was just another point on the board for it considering all the other things he listed about DN. He can speak for himself though, that's just my opinion.
I guess I'll just say that EVERY G**DAMN THING is better than Goldfinger.
First off let me say that neither are anywhere close to my favorites. Still, in a match-up between the two, Dr. No wins. Big factors here include a better Bond girl, a better main villain, better performance by Sean Connery, a more dark-edged and brutal Bond, and for a BIG point, it's not Goldfinger!
Connery's performance and the spy/detective work he had to do was better. He may not have been as smooth or as relaxed as he was in GF but the his performance overall imo was better in Dr.No.
This is what maybe constitutes as an 'unfair battle'
Connerys first is fun, lively, exotic, fast paced, intriguing, has Honey Ryder
Connerys Third is dull, gray, slow, lifeless, has Honor Blackman
Pretty simple math
Going to go with Goldfinger. I just feel it was the one to set up Bond in future movies and it made him popular; plus it was the first Bond film I saw.
My list of rating.
GF - 4.
DN - 8.
I don't either.
DN: 20 votes
GF: 12 votes
Connery's first triumphs over his second in a landslide!
All right, the next match-up is:
Live and Let Die vs. The Spy Who Loved Me
LALD doesn't age well
