The latest Bond film "Skyfall" set to be released in a couple weeks, stars Daniel Craig as James Bond. He is actually the sixth one to play the secret agent on film. With now a half dozen different actors to play the famous character, it's only natural for everybody to have a favorite.
For the nostalgic fans it's sure to be the original in Sean Connery or even Roger Moore. The younger generation, may prefer Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig. Just like my article last month "Movies are Subjective", there is no right answer on who the best one is.
The James Bond character has always been the envy of every guy in the world it seems. The spy that gets all these cool gadgets and expensive sports cars; at the same time always getting the pretty girl at the end of the day. Even though, there is one James Bond, each actor brought a different variation to the character. All were good Bonds, and everyone had their particular favorite. Although, the list of people who had George Lazenby as theirs is probably very short. Sean Connery certainly set the bar pretty high in 1962, with the first Bond movie "Dr No." Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton followed, and then ultimately bringing us to the present day with Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
The new Bond is definitely more of an action star. Most recently in "Casino Royale," Daniel Craig is climbing up construction sites and leaping across buildings. Even seen jumping out of a helicopter with the Queen of England at this years Olympics. Sean Connery may have started it with the swagger and sophistication. The ability to have a girl on your arm while killing the bad guy.
From Connery to Craig, they make all us guys jealous. Who else gets to play with all those cool toys, drive an Aston Martin and get the model. Who ever your favorite might be, whether you like it shaken or stirred, enjoy each of them for who they are.
