I meant "Casino Royale". I enjoyed "Die Another Day" Although Hallie Berry was annoying.
Strangely, I wasn't that fond of Sean Connery. I liked Roger Moore though.

You enjoyed Die Another Day? That shite with no plot of it's own and a massive overreliance on excessively CGI'd set-pieces?

That was the major let down. I enjoyed it because I have, and I will admit, a Shallow side of CGI indulgence.

Even bad CGI? Look at that idiotic kite surfing scene for example. It looked like something out of a bloody computer game, and I'm convinced that's why it was put in in the first place - so they could put it in the subsequent playstation game.
Overall though, if CGI were the be-all and end-all of filmaking, Titanic and Nemesis would be good films.

Again, Sad to admit it, but I will let loose my faults, I enjoyed both of those films.

I was ok with Nemisis, because it was Trek. But I wouldn't bat an eye if all copies of Titanic were burned (no offense to anyone who liked it, just stating my opinion).
I like fire...

IMHO: Connery>Brosnan>Moore>Dalton>Lazenby.
Although, Moore gets bonus points for The Saint and Connery gets demerits for Shalako.

The first two are very close, as are Brosnan and Moore, and if Craig's Bond continues as Casino Royale began he could easilly replace Dalton or even Connery

Hmmm. I thought Dalton was a bit caricaturish, and I dind't care for Craig at all. I have respect for his acting ability, but I didn't feel that his characterization was very Bond-esque.

If any of them were caracturish I'd have said is was Moore's later films, while Dalton and Craig were closer to Fleming's original. There's also the fact that Craig was portraying a much younger Bond, just starting his career as a double-oh, and therefore understandably distinct from the earlier portrayals.

I could buy that about Craig, however all I'm expressing is my opinion (obviously) and I just didn't care for that portrayal of Bond. It's not a knock on Craig's ability.
Agreed that Moore also got cartoonish as the years went on.

To be fair, he was a little cartoonish. Doesnt stop Moonraker being one of my favs, if only for its laugh factor. If we talk about connery, then my favourite is most definitely from Russia with love.

Good choice, but I liked everything with him, save Never Say Never Again.
