I just didn't like Craig. Too American a Bond.

I feel like i'm being baited... and you probably already know this and everything... but somebody was going to say it if i didn't:

Daniel Craig is actually English.

I think he was meaning that his bond was too "american acting" for his taste.      I guess he wanted a John Steed clone!   :D

I hated the later Roger Moore campy movies.    Moonraker, ugh.

And OHMSS was a REALLY good movie.   It has my favorite running theme music

Like Moonraker, I've always thought A View to a Kill was incredibly cheesy and lame. But yeah, good camp/cheese value.

Easily Die Another Day. For this freakin' scene alone:



I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that scene in the theater. So goddamn ridiculous - not to mention the CGI was terrible, even for the year the movie was made.

And honestly, I really prefer the Craig movies. His portrayal is the closest to the actual character from the books than even Connery. I just think so many cheesy Bond movies have come out with Bond being so beyond cool and suave that everyone's forgotten the true character really isn't like that at all. "The bitch is dead" wasn't just some casual asinine remark the writers threw into Casino Royale. It's an actual line from the book.

Connery will always be my favourite Bond, but I'm very glad they restarted with Craig. I couldn't have taken another incredibly over-the-top crapfest like Die Another Day.

HA HA HA HA, that was a james bond spoof, right?    Wow, that is horrible.    I cannot believe they left that in the film.

And I like Daniel Craig as Bond as well.

Doctor Who?

Here is what i can't stand about Die another day.  It just isn't good in any way.  It spends so much time on call backs to other movies it never gets any real feel or plot of it's own.  It starts out as a decent Bond movie with some moments that are pretty dark but then it changes gears and tries to be a campy over the top Diamonds are forever clone.  Here is the thing I can enjoy Moonraker because from the start it knew it was an other the top insane movie and it just asks that you go along for the ride with out thinking about it.  By starting Die another Day so downbeat and so much in the real world they are asking you to think about it and then they just drop everything they asked you to think about and expect you to accept an over the top adventure at the drop of a hat.  Don't get me start on Jinx,the way they gave Bond super powers,or the cheap CGI.  Sorry it's the only Bond film I can't find anything to enjoy in.
