And last night I finished watching
Casino Royale. The hard, gritty and humane touch given to Daniel Craig as 007 was a welcome change, indeed. I thought Brosnan had lost some of his touch (and interest) in the last couple of Bond movies, and Craig will do just fine as a perfect replacement.
All eyes are on
Quantum of Solace, for the final verdict.
Anyway, I have watched
all of the Bond movies till date. Right from
Dr. No to
Casino Royale, its been a very interesting journey of avid movie-viewing. Bond is a big part in shaping my childhood movie-viewing experiences, and I practically grew up watching him and his movies evolve - from the dashing and stylish Sean Connery to the suave and sophisticated Brosnan - they all scored in some way or another.
I know some of you are huge 007 fans. Some, like Urge, have watched through the series with their children too.
Who do you think made the perfect Bond, out of the seven who portrayed him?
- Sean Connery
- David Niven
- George Lazenby
- Roger Moore
- Timothy Dalton
- Pierce Brosnan, or
- Daniel Craig
And which Bond movie do you like the most till now?
For me, 007 has always been synonymous with
Sean Connery. His mannerisms, his personality and his on-screen presence made for THE perfect Bond.
Ever.
And my all-time fav Bond movie -
Thunderball, with
Goldfinger a close second. Both movies much ahead of their times (technically and script-wise), and both movies had Sean Connery in his absolute prime, and at his absolute best, as "Bond...James Bond" 007.
