    Ha! That's exactly how I felt about it!

    I felt that Sophie Marceau's part in Never Say Never was really well done, both how the relationship between her and Bond was written and how she played it. Too bad it was all brought down by Barbie Girl. I really really really wanted Brosnan to be a good Bond, but I think he came in at a low point in the series where the producers were mostly interested in selling product placement. His Z3 in Goldeneye was just stupid.

    My wife Janel is a big Daniel Craig fan, for fairly obvious reasons. I thought Casino Royale was a pretty good film but the Quantum of Solace didn't work as well.

    I've actually got all the Bond movies on DVD. I need to watch them again.

    I agree Brosnan was too debonair to be Bond. When the selection was made I thought it a perfectly natural choice, but the movies really lacked something. They all had a few good scenes, though.

    Connery was the best Bond, Dalton is underrated but not #2, which I tink goes to Craig. I agree he needs some level of gadjets, though.

    Connery is obviously the greatest Bond. I can't think of any of his films which are bad. Daniel Craig in Casino Royale was brilliant. The other one wasn't as good. Moore had some good films but also some bad ones ie Moonraker. All the Brosnan movies except Goldeneye made me want to slam my head against a wall. OHMSS wasn't great but it was better then the Dalton crap. Basically I like some gadgets but they should be somewhat realistic. I think along the line the movie producers lost that from the books. It saddens me that Bond was edge out as the highest world wide grossing by Harry Potter.

    My favorite Bond flick was "Diamonds Are Forever".
