wow he was really underrated as bond, i think craig was the worst of them all, just saying, i mean, i'm a big fan, but i didnt even see quantum of solace because it looked so bad.
Dalton should have done goldeneye its a shame that he delined coz had he done more than a couple of filmes he wud have prob have been more well known and respected as much as Connery is now i mean he was the most serious bond him and craig are the cloest things too the novels
I never saw the Daltons. I mustve seen all the connerys, brosans, and moores. Saying he's better than moore is no compliment haha that guy was just a goofy joke. Many of you are saying hes the best and what Ian Fleming pictured so i'm going to check out one of these pretty quick.
Back in the 70's the producers of the Bond movies tried to make the movies more adventure like and good entertainment. People were sick and tired of gritty realism, especially considering the gruesome Vietnam war which made people depressed. Moore himself said he never took the Bond character seriously knowing he is the creation of a manchauvinist author who was very old school, as a matter of fact Bond was a comicbook character and that's how Moore played him.
@RayBanSteez In fact if it wasn't for Moore's humorous and lighthearted take on James Bond the whole genre would most likely have died in the early 70's. Lazenby quit after his only movie in 1969 when he was told James Bond was a relic of the past and would NOT survive the 70's. Naturally the producers knew that too. Like it or not Moore's Bond was popular and his movies made a lot of money, for this reason he was asked by the producers to do 7 movies which still is the record.
@McLarenMercedes Oh cool didnt know that. He was actually from ian flemming novels unless you mean the comic book like character that bond is with his cheesy lines and ladies man/ action hero. Very interesting thanks. I wrote that comment ages ago haha.
@McLarenMercedes No I had meant that I had forgotten about the comment I wrote till your reply. I think you misread the tone of my comment. Common mistake all good.
The producers themselves said Dalton was the best Bond. They wanted to keep him instead of Brosnan, but Dalton himself refused because it was taking too long. He was aksed several times before too, but either he was too young or had other contracts. Dalton is the Bond how Ian Flemming wanted him to be. Besides, by the ones who know best, The Living Daylights is known to be the best movie of all. By then it simply hadn't got the credits it has know.
@floobadoo dalton was chosen first but refused because he was busy filming then the producers thought to hire brosnan but brosnan was forced to decline because he was under contract with remington steele a couple of weeks later the producers asked dalton again and dalton accepted
I agree. Dalton came closest to the personality of James Bond the way he is portrayed in the books. He was ahead of time in the late 80's and I believe Dalton should have made 2-3 more Bond movies in the 90's.
Sae The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill some months back and I think they are better than any of Brosnan's 4 Bond movies.
Say what? Anybody that has read the novels (so did Dalton) knows Dalton's Bond came closest to the way Bond was portrayed by Ian Fleming. For your info Fleming wasn't so fond of Connery first time he saw him. Only later did he change his opinion of him.
Brosnan was the MTV Bond for the generation that never saw Bond before. Even Brosnan himself admitted he disliked the oneliners and the anachonistic character.
Old stuff packed in a new suit doesn't cut it for me.
@58fenix I agree, I think Timothy Dalton was the worst bond ever. I know he was trying to get close to Ian Flemings literary bond but it just didnt work.
@McLarenMercedes totally agreed on Dalton's films, the bottom line is they get constantly replayed on TV down here whenever there is a bond season and thats for a reason... they are classics. funnily enough the garbage brosnan films like Die another day and all that shit gets fuck all airtime from what I can see. PS. I hate Mclaren with a passion, just thought you should know that. lol.
@58fenix The fact is that if you had taken time to read the books and actually knew what James Bond is about then you'd appreciate what Dalton did with the character, instead of worshipping the smarmy, metrosexual that is Pierce Brosnan's James Bond. Moreover, Dalton was going to come back for a third, but decided to pull out due to the exceedingly long time it was taking for the production to actually get going. What I said makes perfect sense. Quality, not quantity, buddy.
@58fenix I can't be bothered arguing with you anymore. You're clearly a monumental, biblical moron. You're telling me I don't make sense, when, you can't even spell, or articulate a proper sentence. You accuse me of not reading the books, amongst other things, without backing it up with any proper arguement. Nicely done, mate.
If the future bond movies are going to be in this genre, they are going to ruin the whole franchise. No doubt. I personally dont like bond who cries and weeps over lost souls. Daniel may be good but definitely not as bond. Its time they looked for a new bond. Daniel is proving to be worst than Lazenby or Dalton. When brosnan did it, the charecter it was suave and sophisticated. Now it is just soapy feeble and girlish. What a disaster to a charecter that said ' world is not enough'.
@sivaprasad2020 I agree that Pierce Brosnan brought a lot of great things to Bond, but I have hopes that Craig will be better in the next one. Casino Royale was his beginning. He lost the only one he ever TRUELY loved and in Quantum he wrapped up the whole mystery about Vesper and I hope the next will be back to good old Bond.
@sivaprasad2020 you're talking about casino royale, where James Bond is really kind of made. at the end of the movie, and in the novel, he says of Vesper "the bitch is dead". this is him really become James Bond-- that cold, calculating killer. it's easy to see in quantum of solace that he portrays almost no emotion whatsoever.
Personally, I do think Moore is the best Bond, but because I prefer his movie.
On the other hand Dalton is my second fav becuase his films were awesome and LTK is the best Bond film, made so by Dalton's performance and great writing.
Connery and Moore were better, but Dalton wasn't bad. Just like Peirce Brosnan, he happened to be cast for movies with awful writing. Daniel Craig is a little more fortunate. He will go down in history as one of the better Bonds, because his movies have decent screenwriters.
No need to get hostile and call me names for expressing my opinion. I said Dalton wasn't bad. The movies he was in were awful. Oh, and Craig isn't the best Bond. I happen to think the best acting AND screenwriting were the Connery days. Thanks for your input but no need to be rude.
Timothy Dalton did not do a good job as James Bond. Sir Rger Moore should have done moor Bond Flims. Anyone that does not like Moore as James Bond, is not a real Bond Fan. He is the best.
You are wrong. You are clearly not a true Bond Fan. Dalton was James Bland not James Bond. And FYI there is no such thing as being to old to play Bond. Moore became more distinguish and sophisticated as he got older.
No, you're clearly not a true Bond fan. Moore became worse as he got older - was much tougher in TMWTGG and LALD. Brosnan was terrible, and Lazenby was good.
good bond. but not the best

your telling me to read the books were you havent read a

do for the bond franchise and I'm not talking about performance.
Even though he sucked,but what I mean is what did he do for
bond in years,how many did he do how long did he last.You
cant day much about him because he did'nt bring anything
special for the role.As for connery,moore,brosnan,they have
been around for years.

that stupid story about him doing a third and that stupid court
