    James Bond - SKYFALL Trailer

    I have always been a huge James Bond fan having read all of thge Ian Fleming novels. I have seen all of the movies as well as all of the actors playing 007

    I used to say that IMO the only James Bond was Sean Connery however the present day version with Daniel Craig really is what James Bond was all about BUT Sean Connery had the suave whereas Daniel Craig has the macho.

    Who can forget the names of all of the women in Ian Fleming's books (Pussy Galore comes to mind )

    Javier Bardem is the villain

    BTW, this is not the official trailer

    I used to love reading his books. I would spend all of my allowance on them. Sean Connery was in a class by himself. As to the current Bond, I know I am in the minority but I could never warm up to him. I appreciate the fresh angle but I think it is too serious relative to the flamboyant original Bond.

    Connery was the best Bond, no doubt. Roger Moore was the worst or at least tied for the worst. Moore was the Saint, not Bond. Daniel Craig is second.
    Peace.

    David Niven was the worst but then again do Parodies count? I consider the original Casino Royale a parody.

    Roger vs George. Tough call.

    I could never cozy up to any of the movies after all of the original Fleming novels. I mean "Octopussy" c'mon


    It was the first 10 minutes of Casino Royale that hooked me on Craig but yes Sean Connery "IS" James Bond.

    BTW, IIRC Sean Connery had a role in Octopussy

    I would have loved to see Connery in Live And Let Die. That movie was great in spite of Roger Moore.

    Some very familiar faces (definitively the same actors) from the movie 'Collateral' starring
    Tom Cruise, and directed by Michael Mann. ...Representing the bad guys (who hired Tom Cruise as the hitman). If you've seen that flick you know who I mean.

    Also, a copycat scene from the movie 'Desperado' starring Antonio Banderas, and directed by
    Robert Rodriguez. ...The explosion scene where the two are jumping (Antonio and Salma, from a running bus).

    * The last two Bonds; 'Casin0 R0yale7' and 'Quantum 0f S0lace7' are my two faves.
    ...And I got all James Bond 007 movies (half on Blu).
