    I would have to say either Sean in DN or FRWL. Both have insanely Bondtastic moments, my favorites being his hotel inspections for bugs, killing Dent and Grant, and the classic DN opening. In DN and FRWL we also have two of my favorite allies, being Quarrel and Kerim, two amazing men who illuminate Sean's brilliant blueprint making performance and gave his great actors to work with. Every scene was stolen by him, and man did he look the part, fitting out those suits and the 'ol tux better than them all. Sean was so effortlessly suave and deadly that he is unbeatable in my opinion in the role of James Bond.

    I might slightly be able to somehow salvage the fragmented idea that OHMSS could be the favorite Bond movie of many people, but what I absolutely cannot fathom no matter what may be is that there is a notion out there that Lazenby actually did well with the 007 role. I mean really? Stiff, wooden, inexperienced, akward, and flabby. The vast majority of his lines make me cringe and want to commit suicide on the spot! For instance, "He had lots of guts!" or "Maybe you should have been giftwrapped". Ugh!! Simply no.

    Alright, alright, let's keep in focus. You have your opinion, @Creasy47 has his. Let it stand there.

    @TheWizard, whatever you want it to mean, dear boy. As you say, the novel and the cinematic Bond are two different animals. Which is why I went for FRWL, because it represent’s the ideal balance, between the literary Bond and the cinematic Bond.

    Fantastic posts all of you! Keep it up.

    If we're talking best balance of literary and cinema Bond then I agree probably FRWL although Laz and Tim in TLD are close behind.

    DN is probably too literary and GF and TB tilted too much towards cinema Bond so FRWL takes it for Sean.

    Rog and Brozza are all cinema Bond with only the odd flash of literary during their tenure so they're not really in the game.

    Craig is fairly heavily tilted towards literary but from some of the comments coming out of SF it sounds like we are heading more in the direction of cinema Bond this time round so with a bit of luck we might get the same sort of balance as we got in FRWL and OHMSS which is pretty close to perfect.

    Neat way of doing it, I think I might have to steal it! Haha.

    Connery- From Russia with Love
    Moore- The Man with the Golden Gun or A View to a Kill
    Dalton- License to Kill
    Brosnan- GoldenEye
    Craig- Casino Royale

    *note: I did not include Lazenby only because there's only one option to put, so it's not really necessary

    But you didn't. You trashed other peoples favourites, THEN posted yours and moved on.

    Anyway, if we're doing it this way, then...

    Connery- GF or TB (when he was at his coolest)
    Laszenby- Tough choice, hahaha. OHMSS (great fighter and could handle drama well for somebody who'd never acted before).
    Moore- TSWLM (cool, funny, expert spy but not too cheesy or OTT)
    Dalton- LTK (perfection, Bond as a badass rogue agent)
    Brosnan- DAD (GE is my favourite film of his but he didn't seem that comfortable. In this one he was a nice mix of his dramatic, TWINE side and his super cool TND side).
    Craig- CR (He's a great actor and played rookie Bond really well).

    The first thing I did was post my 3 favorites and then I simply gave my opinion on Brosnan. Im sorry but I figured in a thread called "Bond Performances" the performances of the actors to play James Bond might just be discussed.

    That's the beauty of these threads. Not everyone agrees on everything. If we all just praised what we liked things would get boring very quickly. Im entitled to my opinion and I'll voice it. Im sorry if that upsets you.

    Connery- FRWL and GF. (Quintessential Bond cool)
    Lazenby- OHMSS
    Moore- Octopussy (Had some of his best serious moments here)
    Dalton- LTK (The less humor for Dalton the better)
    Brosnan- TND (His least obnoxious performance)
    Craig- CR (Best Bond performance in decades)

    Connery defined his Bond in FRWL and then GF afterwards. His Bond in these two films is quite similar, although the tone of each film shifts from literary Bond to Cinematic Bond. Despite this, he is as cool and calculating as he would ever be in the role. Classic Sean and more importantly, classic Bond - for whatever your taste.

    For an everyday man, Lazenby gets an unfair rep around here for me. He had absolutely massive shoes to fill and when you look at it in context, he does quite well with the role, and the quality of the film around him helps him greatly in that regard. The dubbing is off putting and some of the one liners are awkward, but no one can dispute Lazenby's physical presence. He excels in action scenes and is up there with Craig in terms of physicality.

    Roger's defining performance for me will always be TSWLM. His most cool, self assured depiction of his Bond. He's not my favourite Bond but he was pretty good here, and the film itself is pretty good too, the best of his epic style adventures.

    Tim's defining performance for me depends on my mood really. I love both of his entries, even if LTK was slightly too Americanised for my tastes. I'll always think TLD is the superior film, so it usually goes along that Tim's best performance was in that. Good across the board. Sometimes when I'm watching LTK Bond comes across as slightly unlikeable, a vast contrast with some of the earlier portrayals. But, it works in the context of the film, and Tim does well.

    Pierce, another one who gets a lot of flack around here. Personally I like all of his performances, though I do admit to acknowledging the fact that he comes across as slightly schitzophrenic in his four films. Goldeneye saw him put in his best Sean Connery impersonation, but sometimes nerves seeped through. TND saw him embrace Lazenby's physicality while giving his Bond a bit more of the Roger style humour. He went darker in TWINE, which finally allowed him some room to stamp his own bit on the character, but some poor writing especially in the second half of the film meant his performance wasn't fully capatilised on. DAD, again, was a good performance. A large chunk of Fleming made it into this portrayal, at least in the first hour anyway. Then, just like TWINE, the film implodes, meaning any effort Brosnan made would be overshadowed by the sheer disappointment. As a result of this and weighing up most of the options, TND is probably my favourite performance from the Broz, as it's his most well rounded and is in keeping with the tone of the film.

    Craig, well, his most famous performance is CR, and rightly so. He already has the advantage of it being a reboot and the character effectively starting from scratch. Much easier for him to put his own stamp on the role. But it's still no easy task, and he pulls it off.


    All of these things into account. My personal defining representations of the Bond character are FRWL/GF Connery, TLD Dalton, TND Broz, and CR Craig. Picking one single performance is very hard, as my taste varies from day to day, but there you go. I guess I just enjoy them all.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, exactly. CR was already a very excellent film in the series, so I could only pick that. If I let myself get way too hyped for SF, then I have a huge chance of letting myself down when it isn't the 'perfect' film.

    Some honourable mentions have to go to; Thunderball for Connery’s virile, and so uber cool portrayal; both of Dalton’s efforts; one, The Living Daylights is a more classic outing, although he has layers of depth, subtleties, to his characterization, and the other, Licence To Kill, for a more animalistic interpretation, where Bond loses his sheen of sophistication, exposing the blunt instrument beneath. For most of the movie Bond fights with his heart, the personal nature of the story clouding his judgement, making his aim sloppy. It is only once Bond learns about the stinger missiles is he finally able to treat his vendetta as a mission, and he finally gains control of the situation.

    Excellent points, royale65. My top 2 Bond performances are Connery's in TB(he's the ultimate superconfident uberman in the role here prior to either boredom with the role or weight troubles setting in) and Dalton's in TLD(the best debut performance by a Bond actor IMHO).

    For the other actors:

    Moore:MR(to his Bond what TB was to Connery's IMHO)
    Craig: CR
    Lazenby: OHMSS(difficult pick there ;))
    Brosnan: DAD

    I always hear alot of praise for Connery's portrayal in TB but to me that was the start of his boredome and would segway into YOLT. In my opinion he just didn't have that same verve for life that he has in his first 3 outings. I even seperate Connery's tenure by his first 3 and last 3 films. His first 3 were quintessential Bond that is still the measuring stick for the other actors. His last 3, while okay, just weren't worthy of his work on his prior outings.

    How did Connery look bored in TB? For christ sake he'd be in the Bahamas surrounded by hot sun and half naked women. Even if Connery was tiring of the role by that point I'd have thought that lovely climate would keep him interested and motivated.

    I think people are jumping on the bandwagon a bit when it comes to his "boredom" (although in YOLT there is some justification as its known he was fed up).

    He just didn't have that same level of energy. His line delivery just seemed kinda flat at times. Again he wasn't bad by any means. It just seemed like the seeds of boredom had been planted. By YOLT that transition was complete.

    "wait 'till you get to my teeth"
    "some men just don't like to be taken to a ride" (one of my favourite 007 lines)
    "Hello! (upon seeing Volpe in the bath)
    "sorry Felix but you were just about to say 007"
    "Mind if my friend sits this one out...she's just dead" (if that falls flat to you I'm flabbergasped...Craig/Dalton would kill to have that kind of timing)
    "What I did last night was for queen and country, you don't think it gave me any pleasure do you"
    "You're glad!"

    I for one think TB is one of Connery's best performances...he even considers it one of his favourites.

    Again I didn't say he was bad. His line delivery and overall aura just stood out to me alot more in DN, FRWL, and GF.

    Actually, I think he's better in TB than he was in DN. In DN dare I say it, he was a tad...wooden (ducks) like he was kind of getting used to it - although I do like "I think they were on their way to a funderal".

    Funnily enough I always remember my 91 year old grandad saying he was never that impressed with Connery in the 60s (he doesn't think much of Craig's casting either).

    Far from it. He called Roger a "jumped up Eastender who became all posh and dumped Dot Squires when he became famous".

    Funnily enough I always remember my 91 year old grandad saying he was never that impressed with Connery in the 60s (he doesn't think much of Craig's casting either).

    I'm sure he loves Roger.

    Oh, so he just hates everyone then.

    Connery: FRWL or TB, I cant choose between them, Probably FRWL.
    Lazenby: OHMSS of course.
    Moore: FYEO
    Dalton: TLD
    Brosnan: GE
    Craig: CR, but hopefully soon to be SF.

    I think if i had to choose just one performance i'd go Sean's in FRWL.
