My top 5:

1.BROSNAN
2.CONNERY
3.MOORE
4.DALTON (UNDERRATED)
5.LAZENBY

We seem to have the same list ml94
One thing I noticed is that this seems to be a popular rating(or with Connery 1st) among casual movie goers who don't like Craig.
As for lists of Craig fans...I once read how "The Living Daylights" doesn't feel like a Bond movie and that Dalton doesn't have charisma to pull off the role of Bond. THIS IS COMING FROM A CRAIG FAN.No really...someone actually wrote that.

I've read comments from Craig fans saying that Dalton was far too serious. They also like to complain about Bond and Kara's escape by tobogganing in the cello case in The Living Daylights, saying it's too silly. Personally, I thought it was a clever way of Bond using his wits to get out of a tough situation, and was quite similar to when Bond used a snowmobile ski as a snowboard in A View To A Kill.

To be perfectly honest TLD does have its moments when Dalton is asked to be Roger and that just doesn't work...but I found that cello chase to be cool. But the things you can read from their comments...really. I wonder if they actually know what "charisma" and "elegance" actually mean. One wrote how "even though I am not a Moore fan I have to admit that EVEN he had elegance"... I MEAN.SERIOUSLY.Moore is without a doubt the most classicly elegant of them all.
Their comments are so bizzare it's not even funny.

$106,588,440 final totals are in for JW this weekend and it set the new record for a second weekend's gross.

[bjmdds]

MP, read this: NBC has made it official, opting not to pick up a fourth season of its well received drama Hannibal. Despite good reviews and devoted cult following, Hannibal could not grow into a broad network show. The writing had been on the wall, with NBC opting to hold Season 3 for the summer, where the drama has delivered soft ratings. (It most recently logged a 0.5 Live+Same Day in adults 18-49.) Likely more suited for cable, Hannibal has been solid on DVR and on-demand and has done very well on social media but that was not enough to sustain the show on a Big 4 net. The third and now final season will air in its entirety in the Thursday 10 PM slot.

Cregg "fans" are WRONG.

I know, BJ.. I am SO disappointed. I'm on Twitter(@katerskater23- I don't know if any of the other Fannibals on here are on Twitter but hit me up there and I'll follow you)

There is an effort going on there to try and find the show a new home elsewhere.

[bjmdds]

Correct. They tried to find my Dallas a new home but it did not happen. Perhaps your show will find a new venue.

i was always surprised it was on nbc. I bet they moved the schedule to kill it . It's only a few shows in so instead of trying to boost the ratings they cancel it. I think it was the goal

Craig fans calling Dalton too serious? Suppose Connery was too James Bondish as well

Believe it or not I once heard a Craig fan calling Connery "fuzzy"....and then someone replied:"Now I suddenly have to defend Sean Connery? When we are talking about James Bond?".. my thoughts exactly.

[dirtybenny]

Yeah, if seen Connery referee to as "fat ass" on several occasions in the "official" bond fan sites its quite bizarre to read! I mean THE James Bond refered to in such a derogatory way on a fan site of all places!

Connery often gets referred to as being "fat" in Diamonds Are Forever, and I've also seen fans call Moore and Brosnan "fat" in their final Bond films, which I honestly don't get.

I'll never forget when someone on IMDb said that the opinions of Roger Moore fans don't matter. I guess the money Moore fans spent on the Bond series doesn't matter either, right?

This is just another example how,excuse me for saying this,Craig fans are moronic.Fat??Connery,Moore and Brosnan all had slim builts.Craig on the other hand is bulky,with his made-in-gym muscles and I suppose Babs thinks every woman will drool over Craig because of it.Not gonna happen.Sorry,those gym-muscles don't do anything for me.I'm not a Twilight fan.Here's one good explanation from an article:" The important thing to remember about Pierce Brosnan is that he was not hot. He was attractive, charming, charismatic, and handsome. But he was not hot. To consider just how radically different modern-day action heroes are, consider this: In Die Another Day, James Bond watches in awe as Halle Berry emerges from the surf. In Casino Royale, a mere four years later, someone else got their own emerging-from-the-surf moment…except this time, it was James Bond himself. My colleague Dennis Huynh mentioned that Craig’s first movie kicked off the whole trend of objectifying male bodies, an inversion of the female-gaze theory that reaches its apex with this year’s Magic Mike."
I wouldn't say that scene started the whole trend of objectifying male bodies,I think that came with Twilight two years later but I think the writer is right about everything else.
And why wouldn't the opinions of Moore fans count or "be important"?Good grief,and I thought that Bieber fangirls are stupid.Whether they like it or not,Moore contributed a lot to the James Bond franchise(seven movies no less) and he caried our beloved Bond through the 70's and half of 80's.Craig on the other hand got the role solely because Babs has hots for him...and even though he said he finds playing Bond "boring" the money she throws at him certainly isn't boring.
And,you knowwhat...when we speak of general audience who likes Bond...Moore is more popular than Craig-at least in Croatia.So,no,I wouldn't call opinions of Moore fans irrelevant.Seriously,who said that?!

I remember some saying he was too fat in dad , I didn't think so. He was not as good a shape as ge but not to the point of being embarrassing when he takes his shirt off as they said but that was during the brosnan is the devil phases of supporting Craig by tearing down Moore and brosnan . I bet if Dalton were on their radar he'd gotten it too. Luckily he had already got past that crap

Those big @$$ lizards are now billionaires.

[bjmdds]

Should I see it FBF? Tom Holland is the new Spider-Man, and Jon Watts (Cop Car) will direct him in the latest iteration of the Sony Pictures/Marvel studios superhero saga. Holland ended up being the unanimous choice among Feige, Rothman and producer "Amy Pascal" and he had boosters, including Juan Antonio Bayona who directed Holland in the Tsunami film The Impossible. Bayona was said to have lobbied Rothman hard on Holland’s behalf. “It’s a big day here at Sony,” said Rothman on the announcement. “Kevin, Amy and their teams have done an incredible job. The Marvel process is very thorough, and that’s why their results are so outstanding. I’m confident Spider-Man will be no exception. I’ve worked with a number of up-and-coming directors who have gone on to be superstars and believe that Jon is just such an outstanding talent. For Spidey himself, we saw many terrific young actors, but Tom’s screen tests were special. All in all, we are off to a roaring start.” “Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world, added Pascal in a statement: “With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” -------- I thought Pascal was dumped by Sony What a joke I knew Garfield would flop and this CHILD will never succeed either and you can blame Pascal for ANOTHER bad decision Pathetic choice

[FormerBondFan]

Those lizards should have your money as their dinner.

[Atticus]

I thought Pascal was dumped by Sony

The clinically insane Pascal was fired from the role of CEO. But she got relegated to a "producer" role with an office at the Sony lot, I believe.

What a joke I knew Garfield would flop and this CHILD will never succeed either and you can blame Pascal for ANOTHER bad decision Pathetic choice

So this is another idiotic reboot of Spider-man? I'm personally tired of all these superhero movies, especially Spider-man. They're obviously targeting an even younger crowd by casting a child in the lead. Sony is so blatantly milking it to the fullest, desperate to keep a major franchise alive in their inventory. And they need this one because they could lose the Bond franchise to another studio after Spectre.

I think he is who marvel wanted but Sony had the ok. When the story first broke people were socked pascal was allowed to stay on as producer . I'd guess it was already in the works and a way to buy her off.

The others story is Disney wants to buy Columbia pictures to get Spider-Man. . So they probably wanted to play nice . And that's why she is there, but she has to be a big embarrassment to Sony but she could probably be a real problem if she wanted. .

I'm just glad Garfield is gone . If the new spidy sucks Sony will be blamed for interfering with marvel . But I think marvel will try to make it work no matter what
