I gotta say, the movies were howlers, but Dalton's portrayal was remarkably close to the hardened, misanthropic killer Fleming originally wrote. With some support from writers and directors, Dalton could totally boost Bond's power rating.

Less said about Lazenby, though...

Well, for me the attempt to PC things by making Dalton's Bond not so misogynistic/womanizing really fucked with things.

Ah, I kinda liked the Lazenby movie. Maybe it was b/c of the ending... *shrugs*

I loved the Lazenby movie. Opposite of the Dalton affair, with a strong script and villain, suitably supervillainous plot, and meaningful (and painful!) love story, but a hollow centre in Lazenby.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, definitely - Lazenby wasn't the most charismatic (did I just say that with a straight face?) actor... but the story made him seem cooler, I guess.

Well and Lazenby also had Diana Rigg - none of the other Bonds got that.

I think Dalton's Bond is vastly under-rated as well. The first parts of Living Daylights really are a good film.

Lazenby might not have been, and Connery would have had Bridgitte Bardot if the Broccolis hadn't cheaped out and gone for Lazenby.

Cry for what might have been Connery's Bond marrying Brigitte Bardot after he handed Telly Savalas as Blofeld his ass...

Now *that*'s a Bond movie - shame it didn't happen.

Diana Rigg so owned Bardot's ass.

Man. There's a contest I'd love to watch.

[nottheterritory.livejournal.com]

And seconded!

[nottheterritory.livejournal.com]

Seconded!
