Georgy Zhukov Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Connery had a good reign. Yeah this is the quiet time for the thread. Skyfall's blu ray release and if Black Sabbath isn't looking, DVD release for those who love their wallets will give us plenty to discuss, nit-pick and fight about. Maybe MGM will throw us a bone and give us a picture of grass for pre-production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Can't believe Skyfall is already gonna be available in 2 and a half weeks...I was thinking mid-March would be about when it came out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Claudia Cardinale and Sophia Loren would have made great Bond girls. I think Claudia was considered for a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I was also expecting mid-March based on when Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace hit shelves. I'll glady welcome February!I remember Die Another Day didn't come out on DVD until June 2003. It's funny how things have changed. I still remember when VHS would come out to rent and then it was almost a year later before you could buy a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I actually agree with Layne here. It has to be Connery. Craig needs at least two more good Bonds before we can even consider him in Connery's class (and then, the answer will still be probably 'Connery' because of that man's amount of coolness).

EccoTides Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 As with every Bond actor, it's best to wait until their "era" is complete before assessing their work with the role. As much as I love Connery, no Bond actor has phoned it in as badly as he did in You Only Live Twice, so that will always be a mark against him for me. So far, Daniel Craig is 3 for 3 when it comes to his performances as 007, so here's hoping he can remain engaged and excited about it as long as he's got the role.

Cosmo Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Connery is an awesome bond, no doubts... However, I do feel he gets extra credits for being the original. That doesn't really matters to me. His movies are mostly very good, but as James Bond per se, I'm not a huge fan of him. Can't get over the fact I find him too ugly lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't make him the best, it certainly made him the most dedicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I suppose I'll be the only here who thinks this, but I still believe Connery phoned it in more in DAF. I think he looked more worn out and tired in YOLT, but DAF is just on a whole nother level of bad.In fact, other than Die Another Day, I'd say DAF is my least favorite movie.
