Not only are you mostly wrong, but this could be an entire thread! 
Why does Bond work…
- Rough action (fights stunts etc not the other…)
- In plausible villains some of which make Dr Evil look credible
- Facilities and organisations that would never be able to be kept secret
- Operating at such a high end of society you could never fabricate or maintain a cover
- Ridiculous gadgets
- That much sex with that many amazing women…
- …most of whom promptly die afterwards
- Seaside innuendo at the drop of a hat (see point 1)
…bur I love it!!!

For me…
The most realistic to how Fleming portrayed Bomd in the books is Daniel Craig…But that doesn’t always make good films.
My best to worst…
Sean
Daniel
Pierce
Roger
Timmy
David Niven
Daniel Craig
Timothy Dalton
Sean Connery
George Lazenby
Pierce Brosnan
Roger Moore
I’m a big fan of the books and for those who always wanted a Bond film that delivered the books Casino Royals was the film we had been waiting for since On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Timothy Dalton was the perfect Bond but a few years too early/young and with too much of his films written for Roger Moore.
I have fond memories of Pierce Brosnan, he was y first cinema Bond but after Tomorrow Never Does the films were just garbage.
When this happened their were cheers in the Cinema.
Roger moore last…
What…
I appear to be alone in this… but I would consider Skyfall to be one of the best bond films…

The best Bond film is Moonraker because the plot is sooooooo over the top, because the villain is soooooo Dr Evil, because Bond is living soooooo far above his means (how much does a Cdr get paid), because Roger Moore is not the best bond and in his 50s when the fil was made. It is pure escapism. it is nothing like real life. But the best part of the film is Jaws living happily ever after…
about £80K Source
but given he is on missions all the time and can expense his travel, accommodation, meals, even his suits, and is given a car and other stuff it isn’t like his monthly expenditure is going to be high
The current bond production company
Who can’t count
You could’ve put Roger Moore into an Austin Powers script and not noticed the difference he was ridiculous.

If Timmy Dalton had had the decent Craig scripts (lets forget QoS and Spectre) he would have been awesome

Living daylights is awesome.
Also a great history lesson ref Mujadean and early Taliban.
My personal favourites are in no particular order
- Goldfinger
- The Spy Who Loved Me
- On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
- Tomorrow Never Dies
- The Living Daylights
- Skyfall
100% if they had been able to get Pierce Brosnan at that time (he was first choice but was busy doing Remington Steele) he would’ve been perfect to be the Roger Moore Lite that the series needed to move on. Then Timothy Dalton in the 90’s would’ve been amazing.
QoS was rubbish, Spectre was alright, but Casino Royale and Skyfall are both fantastic.
Top 3 Bond Films for me:
Casino Royale
Goldfinger
On Her Majesties Secret Service
His wife was ill with cancer or had just died o forget which.
That’s why he didnt take it.
Ah that makes more sense
For me it’s Connery and Moore, growing up in the 70s Christmas and Easter wouldn’t have been the same without a Bond, The Duke and a war film.
I’ve tried watching Dalton, Brosnan and Craig, apart from the same Bond format, not quite the same.
Best to worse :
Connery
Dalton
Moore
Craig
Brosnan
Lazenby
Living Daylights (the opening sequence is superb)
Casino Royale
YOLT
Spy Who Loved Me
Goldfinger
