It's been said, but what about Pussy Galore? And lots more. But let me guess, it was ok back then because it wasn't a Brosnan film.
Alot of the members on here seem to think this way- the 60s were perfect, Moore was entertaining, Dalton was good, Brosnan was crap even though his films were only as campy as past films, and Craig is the best since Connery and Bourne ripped him off. And I can't disagree more (at least with most of it).
I have actually got that on a T-shirt.
:)) :)) :))
I like all the Bonds, for me it's Connery was great, Lasenby was ok, Moore was great, Dalton was perfect, Brosnan was amazing and Craig is ok (haven't been blown away by him yet).
In fairness to @actonsteve, most of Moore's films were made by a group of people familiar with their craft. They weren't AS silly as Brosnan became. Even Rog thought DAD went too far.
To be fair, I am taking the piss a little
As I have said I dont hate Brosnan I just think his films went downhill.
GE can be criticised along with everything else
Really? Oh wow, didn't know that was possible. Are you sure? I think it's invincible actually!
As for this round, I vote for Xenia Onatopp. From the greatest Bond movie there is, we bring you the greatest female villain ever to ignite the screen!!
I know, all the Bond films have flaws, even great ones.
I expect Volpe to win this round as she is the most favorite female villain among our members here I think. But my vote stands. Good matchup, though.
Good points. But you know, that section of Brosnan haters won't change and I am trying to not get sucked into the sour whirlpool of it all. I'm skimming past them more. Their desire to bash him at nearly every opportunity is rather baffling to me but not worth consideration.
a cold hearted killer and I never tire of looking at her whether she's in that evening dress or those slacks and top during the skeet shooting scene.
@OHMSS69, Xenia isn't a cold-hearted killer?
Maybe i'm a leg (/thigh) man. ;)
Oh, she's got 'em, alright.
Well TLR, whether you agree or not it seems that there is a consensus regarding the popularity of different eras and actors in the role. We are all not going to agree on different things, but they are just opinions after all and no need to get too upset about it. For example, my personal opinion is that anyone who doesn't think Goldfinger is minimum top 5 is out of their ever loving minds, but that's their taste and there's no reason for me to become confrontational. Some people think MR and DAD are better than the last 2 films, crazy to me, but that's their opinion.
Brosnan's films are not among my favorites, but I enjoy his first two quite a lot and can think of several entries from the Moore and (shudder) the Connery era I find less entertaining. I really respect how much he loved the role and the passion he brought in that regard. He's a good man from everything I've read, and heard. And I like quite a few films he otherwise stars in. On the other hand, I think the other actors save Lazenby did a better job and having lived through all the eras and likely having viewed the films more than many as a result, it's just how I relate to the character.
Anyway, I wish I did not have to vote because I love them both. But Onatopp took Fiona one step farther and I liked that.
Xenia is a killer but I don't I just think Fiona was HOTTER.
That flaming red hair, that face, those...earlobes ;)
As for Xenia's campy name. The series has always had campy female names, I just took it in stride. Pussy Galore, Mary Goodnight, Holly Goodhead.
Definitely VOLPE.
Oh right, right.
I will vote for Fiona for being a better caged animal.
