Hey, I was nice....

>Connery ever did.

I think he nailed it in TND; I wasn't quite as convinced by GOLDENEYE, but
TOMORROW NEVER DIES just plain rocked. I loved the scene in the back seat
of the BMW....

>(The rest were pretty forgettable, though I do feel sorry

Moore starred in probably the second-best of the series, though (FOR YOUR
EYES ONLY); I tended not to like most of his films, though, because I could
never get THE SAINT out of my head. And I liked Dalton's Bond (very close
to the books), but he had regrettable scripts. Lazenby had potential if
he'd not been so harshly treated by the media and the fans.
