License to Kill was a bit before its time. Bourne before Bourne was a thing. I think people still wanted the campy Moore era and just weren’t ready for that.
Casino Royale aped the Bourne thing later and was a smash hit.
He was much better as a supermarché owner in any case.
How many times has Bond quit/fired MI-6 at this point? The Craig Bond being a lonely beach boozer was a nice callback but damn dude put on a suit and shoot
I don’t think Lazenby gets enough credit but yeah I’d agree. Dalton is also the best actor outside of Bond, Connery probably has more credits but he’s not a time lord.
Connery was a good actor but I think he got stuck to the role of the secret agent/military man/though guy, although I enjoyed his performance in Finding Forrester.
Lazenby was the forgotten Bond, right? I agree. He had a presence but I think he was badly received after the Connery era as his Bond was more mild mannered. When Roger Moore took the character and broke off the previous mold, it simply erased the previous Bond and started the fan theory that Bond was a codename and not an individual.
Goldeneye was my favorite film as a kid but Moore was always the classiest, a real gentleman.
Timothy Dalton was the best Bond, closest to the books.

Interesting like the knights in Kingsman.
Exactly
That’s a fact!
