Brosnan for me. The perfect mix of the old and the new. Goldeneye absolutely nails it as a bond film. The others missed the mark a little bit for me. Though, I’ve been meaning to rewatch Tomorrow Never Dies for a while, through my 2024 lenses.

Daniel Craig. He gives a more grounded version of Bond than the likes of Brosnan and Connery and I feel the films have been written with more emphasis on making him seem human, with genuine emotions to the loss of some of the love interests and supporting characters.

Physically, he is by far the most commanding presence and actually looks like a seasoned spy with a far more muscular physique than the other Bond actors, helping with the realism.

Casino Royal was my favourite of his movies, and despite No Time To Die being well received I found Malik's villain a bit too much of a caricature to be believable, ultimately tainting Craig's swansong.

Id put Connery 2nd but personally wouldn't say it's a close call. And personally, I really don't like Brosnan and find him incredibly slimy and cheesy regardless of the role he's in!

Just like Star Wars, I believe the choice of your favorite Bond is heavily influenced by who you grew up watching. For many, Pierce Brosnan embodies Bond, from his stellar debut in GoldenEye to the over-the-top finale in Die Another Day (2002). Brosnan's era also coincided with a surge in Bond video games, notably GoldenEye on N64 and Everything or Nothing. He arguably had the most exposure across all media.

However, my pick leans towards Sean Connery, not necessarily because he was the original Bond or because he outshines others in charm or charisma. It's the unmistakable Scottish brogue of Connery that makes him Bond-Prime for me. When you think of Bond, it's Connery's voice that resonates, instantly recognizable and iconic.

This one has to be Casino Royal in 2006, I think I've always had interest in casinos and high action paced car chases and action scenes but I think I liked some of the character development of james bond showing some of his vulnerability and emotional depth (I'm a counsellor what can I say)

This movie also has a very weird childhood memory for me where I was being bullied in school and I decided to publically fight my bully. 13 year old skinny as me put on facebook "After I knock out xxxx at 1pm lets go see the 1.30pm casino royale movie"

He never showed up, I win by default, enjoyed the movie!
