More like went back to the originals.

Agreed. Bond has had some great signature cars over the years, but when I think Bond I'll ALWAYS think Aston Martin first.

I'd have said Sean Bean (boromir), but he's not really one you can make up to look handsome for the ladies.

I was thinking him. He's got that Great Britain heritage, dark hair, and cool good looks. But he's too young. Maybe in 15 years. I think of James Bond as 40+.

God I hope not.

Nobody has suggested George Lazenby yet???
j/k

Hard to imagine any other Bond comparing to Sean Connery.
The great thing about Connery is that he was suave and sophisticated but still had a little bit of that gritty tough guy edge to him.
Dalton and Moore both always seemed like they would have cried if you slapped them.
Brosnan is pretty good though. Hopefully he'll stick around and they'll make some decent movies.

I can't really think of who would make a good replacement but ultimately it doesn't really matter to me because the new James Bond movies SUCK. The good ole days were with Roger Moore and Sean Connery (the best Bond in my opinion).

I didn't like the last one with Halle Berry. Too bad I am stuck with that crappy DVD. :frown:

When I think Bond, I think Aston Martin, not BMW. Go watch some older Bond movies and see what he's driving.

Sean Connery.
