Could have been Pierce Brosnan.

As I got older, and began to appreciate the various features of a good spy thriller, I began to like the Moore Bonds less and less.
I've heard people describe the Daniel Craig Bonds as simply a response to the hyperkinetic thrills of the Bourne movies. But I think Craig's portrayal is the closest to the spirit of the books.

I have not watched a Bond film since Timothy Dalton was Bond.

(19,310 posts)I mean seriously, what self respecting super spy would drive a '74 AMC Hornet? Even the Lotus Esprit S1 was rather anemic at 2 litres. At least the Esprit could transform into a sub. That was cool.
I did like Moore as Bond though.
