lazenby was the worst bond ever.connery was the best .we loved bond movies coz of connery
Speak for yourself. I only like 3 of Connery's films. The rest were crap. While in your opinion Lazenby was the worst and Connery the best, I feel Lazenby was the second best (after Dalton) and Connery 3rd string.

If you really think he was the worst Bond ever, then you really need to get through your 'thick skull' that you have no idea about Bond. Lazenby can't be compared to Connery - Lazenby was good at this role because he didn't try to be like Connery. He played Bond his own way - which, personally, I think was brilliant. I have only recently watched this movie and I have NEVER been a Bond fan until now. You need to stop being so arrogant and get through your 'thick skull' that Connery really was just a good looking guy with a Scottish accent. That's it!!!

I've read that when Lazenby arrived for the premiere of "OHMSS," he showed up wearing a beard and long hair, and sporting casual clothes. In other words, totally unrecognizable from his character in the movie. This really irritated the Bond movie producers, who were hoping to promote Lazenby at this event.

He also showed up on Johnny Carson's "Tonight" looking like a hippie, and distancing himself from the part. I remember being appalled at the time.
He was definitely the victim of bad advice. But, then again, there is a two-edged sword involved. Too many times have perfectly good actors been so identified with one role that their careers suffer as a result. Ideally, Lazenby could have made at least one or two more, then moved on. Seven or more could have affected his career even worse. -

BEST BOND EVER! He looks the part, he talks the part and no-one could have pulled off what was the most emotional scene Bond ever had to do, except Brosnan.
1 George Lazzenby
2 Pierce Brosnan
3 Sean Connery
4 Timothy Dalton
5 Roger Moore -

I wouldn't say that George Lazenby was the best Bond - to me he's 98% of Connery who was the best. OHMSS is greatest Bond film though, and it really bugs me that George didn't do any more. I'm sure he'd surpassed Connery with a couple more movies under his belt.

You guys are terrible. Each Bond had something to bring to the table.
George Lazenby was the best fighter.
Sean Connery was the best actor.
Roger Moore had the looks.
Timothy Dalton was in the best movies.
and Pierce Bronson was the smoothest talker. -

Hard to say Lazenby was the best Bond when he appeared in only ONE movie.
As for his acting skills in the end when his wife died, I would say Connery (Oscar winner for Untouchables) and theater actor Dalton could have pulled it off.
While I can see why some people lke Lazenby, Connery (first is almost always best), and Dalton (came closest to the James Bond in the books), I don't understand why lots don't like Moore or Brosnan. They were better than OK, I think.
Worse may be this new Bond guy Daniel Craig, who got his teeth knocked out in the fight scene shooting and couldn't drive the Aston Martin since he didn't know stick shift. -

Okay- let's get this straight:
First- the worst Bond ever was Moore. Proof: I could kick his ass.
2nd- The others all tie. I love Connery, but, come on- the guy's a movie star, not an actor.
3rd- Lazenby has to play scared when he's escaped Piz Gloria. In the book he was done. They were going to catch Bond and kill him. Lazenby did it right. Peter Hunt did a fine job directing. And, best of all, no gadgets.
4th Dalton rocked! Would love to have seen him do more, but
5th- Brosnan- perfect. The series is established, everybody knows everything about Bond, but Brosnan brought something else to it. To paraphrase at least 4 critics (Roger Ebert one of them) Brosnan became a better actor playing Bond.
It's all in the timing.
PS- Moore's best was "For Your Eyes Only." He did a good job. Likewise in "Octopussy." Not his fault though- the scripts were crap. One great moment though- When he kick's Loque's car off the cliff in FYEO- pure Bond. Nasty, righteous, powerful.
Casting Craig- seems like a huige mistake. Should've gotten Brosnan back.
