A James Bond Fan Reviews the Franchise

Nope, that's Dalton. Lazenby was definitely Australian.

Ah. It gets confusing.

The reason for that was that Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal Lector) had expressed a great deal of interest in playing a Bond villain. So France basically tweaked the story to accomodate him. Of course...Hopkins later had to drop out for something else, and they tweaked it back to the original plan.

Hopkins would've been an awesome Bond villain.

“Do you expect me to talk?”

“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to FRY! With some nice sauteed onions and mushrooms.”

Here's a thought: the young Hopkins of the late 1960s or early 1970s as James Bond?

My personal favorite Bond films are the following:

You Only Live Twice and Moonraker.

Sir Sean Connery will always be the number one Bond, with Sir Roger Moore in second place, and Timothy Dalton in third.

Lazenby was okay. The less said about Pierce Brosnan the better. I haven't seen Daniel Craig's two movies, so I can't comment on his performance.

The best Bond girls: Dr. Holly Goodhead, Magda, and Octopussy.

Nuff said.

^ Couldn't agree more about Miss Goodhead, at least in the looks department.

On the whole though, I think my favorite Bond Girls are Natalya, Pam Bouvier, and Domino.
