I have no idea why, I just felt like going on about James Bond movies. My sister has recently become EXTREMELY interested in Bond films, which means she makes me watch them all with her (and tells me all this useless trivia I don't give a flying hoot about). And from what I have seen so far, here is what I have decided (this is all purely my narrow-minded opinion, mind you):
Sean Connery: Classic, can be kinda scary at times, makes HORRIBLE jokes, is kind of a wimp when it comes to fighting somebody. I mean, Bambi and Thumber whupped him easy in "Diamonds are Forever". Sorry Sean. You're a great actor anyway.
George Somethingorother (I forget how to spell his last name): He only did one movie, which I haven't seen yet, so never mind.
Roger Moore: A nice guy. Perhaps too nice to be Bond. Bond, to me, always has to be a little nasty and...I think aloof is the word I want. Roger Moore should take up knitting instead of spy stuff. He makes bad jokes too, but not as much.
Timothy Dalton: I only saw one movie, but I didn't think much of him. He wasn't really Bond-ish for me either. Which brings me to...
Pierce Brosnan: YAY! Huzzah! The BEST Bond! At least in my not-so-humble opinion. He is what Bond SHOULD be, a dashing and suave hero sure, but mysterious. You can't really tell what goes on in this guy's head (the other Bonds were all too predicable IMO). And he has the slight nastiness and aloofness too. And the fact he only did the kissing and stuff with ONE woman in "Goldeneye" (the only Brosnan 007 film I've seen) helped too. I'm only 15, after all.
Oh, yeah. Now I know why I brought this up at all. Because I want to praise the talents of Sean Bean, who played the badguy in "Goldeneye". I think he's the coolest 007 villian ever. And frankly, he made my teenage hormones act up. The pesky little things.
