Quote:Connery is 2 years younger than Roger Moore. Its crazy that they kept Moore on so long when he was old. He was okay. I actually liked Brosnen better than Craig, but the story lines were a bit weak after Goldeneye. Connery is the best IMO.

 

I also have grown to like Daniel Craig better, but I just don't like this reboot since he came on. It doesn't really feel like Bond anymore. All the classic stuff is gone. No first girl always dying, he always screws with the 'shaken not stirred' line. Hes become more politically correct and touchy feely. I just don't like all the messing around, so I haven't watched all the new ones he has made (hated the first one of Craig, and I have seen one or two more that were better, but it isn't like it was before). But the supporting actors really stand out quite a bit more now.

 

The last real Bond movie to me was Die Another Day, but it still wasn't a good film. It seems like they are trying to get back towards the classic feel of Bond with this last one, so maybe it will get better, but I will never be as interested as I was before.   

As to the part in bold, I agree completely. 

 

I'm not talking about PC stuff.  But there is a distinct Bond movie feel I can't fully describe that has been notably absent since Goldeneye.

 

IIRC, Goldeneye was the last Fleming story, so maybe that had something to do with it.

 

I think the Broccolis not producing it had something to do with it too, but I may be mistaken.
