Perhaps the difference between the Bonds can be seen in how the get themselves out of a prison cell....

Connery (Goldfinger) - Uses his wits to trick the guard into opening the door.

Moore (Octopussy) - Uses the acid pen gadget from Q to remove the bars.

Dalton (The Living Daylights) - Gets rough and tough, down and dirty, etc.

Brosnan (Die Another Day) - Doesn't escape. Stays there for 14 months so that he can go on a personal revenge mission afterwards.

some might think (and they are wrong) that connery was the be all end all of james bond but moore had it over connery in a big way, he brought class and style to the part....something connery never could do

Connery had class in the role, but Roger had a very definitive style of it.

connery came off as a brutish "stupid policeman" and roger used suave- finesse in his take on the character


  moore is better then connery as bond  pure and simple

I wonder if your view would change if you did read Fleming, given that you've stated elsewhere that you never have?

I'm not for a moment suggesting that you have no qualification to enter into a debate about who was the best Bond if you haven't read what Bond was intended to be. I guess that you get out of the film series what you want to get out of it. Fair enough. But it would be interesting if your perception changed as a result. You might still think Moore is closer - many folks do. But the brutal, stupid policeman is all over Fleming's stuff, y'know.

Well Connery created a cake and Moore added some cream over it.

Fair enough if Connery started the official series. Roger Moore added the comic styles to the cake.

Doesn't look like Brix's "line" is getting drawn any time soon.
