Indeed, though Daniel Craig does a very good job to my mind. Enough of this harking back and comparing.
As for the others, I don't think either Rog or Broz were capable of finding the Connery persona. They weren't threatening enough.
Dalts and Craig on the other hand, though both quite capable, chose, for better or worse, to explore Bond's more human and vulnerable side.
We Connery dreamers may yet be rewarded some day, when a strapping young actor enters the fray, determined to replicate the Connery magic. It could happen. [-O<
Edit: Anyway, I am rambling off the focus of the thread title, even if the subject matter was prompted by a new members introduction.
Maybe I will start a thread at some point regarding the Connery Bond persona. Can it, or will it be re-visited?
Been a James Bond fan since first seeing Dr No on tv as a young 'un (I must have been about 9 or 10). After that, I was hooked and made it my mission to watch 007 any time he was on tv. Been a fan for around 30 years now (just turned 40) and still get a thrill when I throw a movie on, and often enjoy deciding on a specific few weeks to undertake a Bondathon.
My favourite of the Bond movies is probably Dr No as it was the first one I saw. Favourite Bond for me is Sean Connery, although I have a great fondness for Sir Rog.
Well, I look forward to contributing as much as possible to this wonderful community and can't wait to talk and discuss all things James Bond with you, although please be aware I may not be as good with the words as others on here ;0).
Thanks.
Thank you very much. Haha, yeah, took me a while to come up with that.
Many thanks.
Generally I'm fairly positive about every aspect of the world of Bond, I like both the seriousness of From Russia With Love and the slapstick of Moonraker, the journalistic flair of Flemings writing and the more workmanlike approach of the Gardner novels. To me it's like one vast box of assorted chocolates that I can dip into and choose depending on my mood at the time.
Nice to know there are other obsessive Bond fans out there and I look forward to exchanging views with all of you, even though my subject knowledge may not be as great as some of you I hope I can still make a small but worthwhile contribution to your excellent forum.
You just got to fit in @00Hero and take things at your own pace and respect other members and try to steer clear of arguments or above all else - simply adhere to the rules of the MI6 forum and you won't go far wrong. Welcome aboard
My names Greg but I perfer Greggy if thats ok I hope theres nothing wrong with it.
It's well recognized, that Goldfinger is not one of this users favorite releases, but the Fort Knox battle with Bond and Sekata and the timer countdown is one of the best sequences in the entire movie. Oddjob was a great villain, and I'd even put him up there with Shaw's Donald Grant. One killed with a watch-garotte, the other with a steel-rimmed bowler hat, both unique and memorable ideas. Hope you enjoy your time on these pages
I look forward to discussing Bond with you all
Aye, It seems a decent and active forum thus far. Thanks for the welcome :)
Thanks! Just reading through many of the discussion threads. I could do this all day :)
What a superb introduction to Bond! Highly entertaining film.
Agreed. Skyfall was decent, but I'm hoping for a spy thriller with a more complex plot- like FRWL. TND was also my first cinema experience, and thought TWINE wasn't quite as good a follow-up.
Now THAT is a day well spent. ;)
Likewise a warm welcome to all the new members.
Hello John. This is Zehry. Nothing to worry about. I am the original one. After all, I actually know the origin of my name. I can tell you this...it definitely is not an Australian boy's name. Interested? Google me if you dare.
