Damn right!
Probably so, considering that he's the current Bond, everybody knows him now because of CR (especially) and QoS, and also, Dalton is one of the least known James Bond actors along with Lazenby.
1.) *Connery
2.) Craig
3.) Dalton
4.) Brosnan
5.) Lazenby
6.) Moore
*Sometimes referred to as Master, God, or King by his disciples.
Exactly, as I've said before he has more of a "cool cat" quality.
With Dalton it just seemed very...stuffy sometimes. Thats the impression I got after my latest viewing of TLD. Craig has (or at least has the potential to have) that twinkle about him.
I always liked the exchange:
"You know I think I'll call that a Vesper"
"Why? Because of the bitter aftertaste?"
"No...because once you've tasted it...that's all you want to drink"
Just the way he says the last line (especially after all he went through at the Poker game) makes me smile. He's relaxed, funny and charming. Dalton seemed quite "on edge" even when he was trying to be relaxed.
absolutely. Even my dad doesn't like him and he's a huge Bond fan!
I'm going with Craig over any Bond.
And Moore has beaten Connery in polls before, doesn't mean he's better (not bashing Moore btw, I thought he was a great Bond).
They'd be very close indeed but I'd give Craig the edge. He's the current Bond after all. That would tip the odds in his favour.
Probably, but he wouldn't win by a landslide like on this website. In reality Craig and Brosnan are evenly matched, and even if Craig has the edge, it's not by much.
I have no way to know that for sure, but its my opinion anyway and not, because I favour DC myself, but by what I read through the years.
It reminds me of a question of a TV Quiz here in the UK, called Pointless. The idea is to name the answer the least number of the 100 asked people said. Those asked had one minute to name as many as they can.
The question was name an actor that's played Bond. The results were something like:
Connery 92
Moore 76
Craig 58
Brosnan 58
Dalton 38
Lazenby 30
It was surprising to me, nearly a third remembered Lazenby and just over half could not name the current Bond.
This was as of 2011, mind not that that makes any difference.
We're not talking about who's better but who's popular. And fact is, Brosnan is as popular as Craig. This website, or any online Bond community is simply not a representation of reality. The Brosnan detractors here who feel they are strong because they are the majority here, are actually a very small majority in reality.
what do you know about reality about both of them? have you ask EVERYONE on the planet about Craig and Brosnan? we never know what reality about both popularities.
yes the Bond community is not a representation about DC or PB popularity, but the FACT that Bond community like Craig more than Brosnan is a bold statement/opinion that on those community many people like Craig, something that you can't ignore that my friend
If you read my post right, this is exactly, what i wanted to point out. I tried to point out, why I think, DC is a lot more popular then Brosnan now. Again, by many posts I read over the years - he showed them, what they hadn't missed with Brosnan before but now- in comparison - felt missing and hence felt obliged to turn to Craig as the better Bond.
Okay, but if they already liked Brosnan, they wouldn't suddenly stop. They might adjust their opinion a say that they prefer Craig but I don't think anyone who initially liked Brosnan would suddenly say he stunk just because they like Craig better. In my opnion, once you're a fan of someone, that's it. You're a fan for life, At least, that's how it is with me.
Who cares about what this community thinks of Daniel Craig ? It's not a very small recluse group of hardcore fans like this website that can give even the slightest indication of who is the most popular Bond or who is the better Bond. The fact that you don't seem to accept is that in the general audience, Brosnan is as popular as Craig.
I do realize that Craig is more popular in this recluse website, but you also have to realize that outside the very small online Bond communities, Brosnan and Craig have the same popularity.
Are you for real ? You are basing what 100+ millions of people who saw Brosnan's and Craig's outings think on what what a few dozens of people think on recluse online communities ? That's utterly ridiculous.
You are ignoring the most basic fact of all : online Bond communities are completly insignificant. They are not in any way a representation of reality. The simple fact is that Craig and Brosnan have the same popularity in the general audience.
@marymoss - you are right and I didn't mean, people stopped liking brosnan, but I feel, many stopped liking him better. That's all...
So you are basing your argument that Craig is more popular on what 0,0000001% of those who saw Craig's and Brosnan's outings think ? That's just ridiculous. I say again - nothing you read on online Bond communities is a representation of reality. No one cares what the majority of people think on CBN, MI6Community, Univex or other websites. They are not a representation of anything. The amount of people who post on Bond communities are an utterly insignifiant portion of those who saw the films.
I base it on my own opinion and of everything else, I saw and read and noticed as being an opinion over the years. Not to forget polls etc...
What do YOU base YOUR opinion upon?
This just doesn't go nowhere - so better stop, while its still friendly.. ;)
who cares about general audience's opinion either? i realize that outside this forum that you call "small communities" have different opinions, and i accept that , and about you call the fact, i ask you again have you ask EVERYONE on this planet about Bronsan is better than Craig? can you provide the database to backup your argument???
Have YOU asked everyone on this planet about Craig being better than Brosnan ? And again you have missed the entire point - we are not talking about who is better, but who is POPULAR. And fact is Brosnan is as popular as Craig, even if Craig is the better Bond or the better actor. Fact is a whole generation of Bond fans grew up with Brosnan. Go speak to any group of kids about they're favorite Bond, and you'll have 2 answers : Brosnan and Craig. The sad truth today is that most kids don't care about what came before their birthyear, most don't care about Connery, Dalton, Moore or Lazenby. Young members here like @00beast or @0brady that like old stuff are very rare in the modern generation. Most kids today only swear by Craig and Brosnan in terms of Bond films.
