Just watched " On her majesty's secret service " for the first time . Lazenby is extremely wooden and you can see why he was a one off Bond but the film is ok and the ending is fantastic.
Don't really like the films, they bore me. However, there is some first rate eye candy in them.

Leroy, I went to a Bond film charity premiere about 10 years ago and the love of your life was there, signing autographs - bet you're consumed with jealousy now. :-)
Can't remember what the film was - it was a Brosnan one. 'Jaws' was also there - he is massive - could hardly get through the door!

They wanted him to do a 2nd one but he wanted $2m and they would only pay $1m. Believe they then got Connery for $1m plus 12.5% of gross profits.

I heard that he turned up to the premiere with a beard and long hair, having got into some 'free love' cult.
loved the bond films in my youth. But then I got into the books and having read those the films lost their appeal. The new ones have done a better job at depicting Fleming's bond just wish they had picked someone else other Craig...he's done a good job but he just looks.nothing like the bond I see when reading the books.

I also read the books and to me although Craig doesn't look like book-version he is the most accurate in terms of translating the character. Of course the casual racism and sexism is out but I guess for the times that was pretty typical.
Watching them on SM made me realise, I'd never seen about 20 of them without adverts, the ITV logo, or the news halfway through.
I think the reason why a lot of people dislike Bond is exactly what you say. They remind people of rainy miserable Bank holiday mondays. ITV don't just do football badly.
I like all the bond films but I think Craig was the best Bond. It took me a while to come to this conclusion but I think his films were pitched just right. I think on reflection that Casino Royale and Spectre were Bond masterpieces. I appreciate many will disagree.

I agree with you about Casino Royale, although I prefer Skyfall over Spectre.
But, as with all things Bond, it’s very subjective. For example, one of my favourite Bond films is On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, although George Lazenby is not in my top 3 favourite Bonds.
I also agree with you that Daniel Craig was the best Bond, followed by Sean Connery and Timothy Dalton.

Connery followed no one……everyone else followed him.
As a great Bond fan from a young age I read all the books, watched all the films. Craig by far the best. I have no idea how they are going to follow the last film. Will take some creative miracle

What made Spectre for me was the opening. I thought it was as good as these spectacular openings get. It was a strap yourself in opening and fantastic on a large cinema screen. And the way it merged into Writing's on the wall was fautless. The ending was great too. Also, anything with Christolph Waltz in it can't miss in my books. I suppose what worked for Craig was that all his films told his own story very neatly. The next films need to tell a different story.

Timothy Dalton !!! you have got to be joking!
Can we at least all agree that Roger Moore was the worst Bond?

Never
George Lazenby was the worst bond (although on her majesty secret service wasn’t the worst film)

You are just compounding your folly!, Bexley's own Roger made some poor Bonds (he was too old in the end), but also made one of the best in "The Spy who Loved me". He was unlucky in that Lew Grade wouldn't release him from the Saint to make Bonds when he was in his prime.
Lazenby - worst Dalton - sour faced, wooden lump who thought he was far too good to be Bond. Brosnan - ok but made the biggest bond stinker in "Die Another Day" pheewey!

Sorry, but the worst Bond film has to be Moonraker.
Ahh Bond, massive Bond fan and nice to see the eternal debates still going on.
Connery for me (despite my age), followed by Moore then Craig.
As for the whole worst/ best, Bond/film you have to look at them both individually and take them for what they are (were), the Dalton two are very much 80's action shoot 'em ups, the majority of the Moore years were cheesey gag laden films and Brosnan's Bond a real life, jack of all trades world saving Action Man.
Hard to put a definitive answer to any of it, Connery is of course the best Bond, but, can you imagine him or Lazenby attempting re-entry in Moonraker? Nah, thats all Rodge

Nonsense. He was the second best behind Craig . Obviously George Lazenby was the worst although On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a brilliant story.
True but let’s face it . The original Casino Royale is not a Bond film as we know it . It’s an extremely unfunny comedy. I watched it for the first time about four years ago and I hated every minute of it . It’s terrible
