    Connery was way before my time, but what I grew up on as a kid watching with Grandpa. That said, it's ironic that the "kinder gentler" Moore got two of the most brutal kills in the series, both in FYEO: tossing Locque off a cliff and dumping Blofeld down a smokestack from a chopper.

    I think Lazenby is domed to be hated as he replaced Connery and was a one and done Bond. He was a moron for walking away from the franchise.
    I liked it from the aspect of giving background on Bond (like Skyfall) but didn't care for Lazenby as a Bond overall. I try to put him into other Bond flicks of the period and just don't see him fitting very well. I mean, Connery pulled off Diamonds Are Forever with his usual panache. Live and Let Die was a good flick that I can't picture Lazenby performing the role of Bond. Same with The Man With the Golden Gun.

    You're correct he was in the unenviable position of following up Connery, but he didn't have the "it" factor.

    I thought Grace Jones ruined it, as she ruins most films. Walken was great as usual.

    Definitely not your typical Bond Girl.

    Besides being excessively dudish, I don't think she's a good actress. In every film she more or less plays a version of herself. Was also hard for me to watch her pretending to be a "black belt" martial artist and the fight choreography was extra painful.

    I hate that she's worked as a model, it's offensive. It's like having Chris Elliot being a male model.

    Jones was only ever good in one film, Boomerang and again it is because she played herself only this time she actually fit the story line and didn't detract from it.

    Least fav: anything with Roger Moore

    Most fav: As much as I was raised on Sean, it has to be Skyfall

    I think Die Anither Day was the absolute worst. Way too much CGI and poorly done. From the wind surfing to the invisable car...

    Feel like they were trying to go bigger and better with everything and it just ruined it.

    I like just about all the other ones for what they are/were.

    Liking the Daniel Craig, stunts come across as more realistic, Bond isn't indestructible but still kicks ass.

    That is what made me love Casino Royale. When he got poisoned and was seriously effe'd up I totally bought it. No other Bond ever played it that real, not even Connery.

    Tanya Roberts back in the day inhabited my dreams on a nightly basis. I have watched Beastmaster a million times just for that one seen. Then she started doing soft porn and for some reason I moved on lol
