James Bond dead. Sad day Sean Connery RIP.

007 passes at 90 years old.

RIP

Unlike Goldfinger, I never expected that he would die.

RIP, there will never be another like him -- absolutely priceless stuff . . .

For me, Pierce Brosnan captured the essence of the bond character the best. Loved his persona and performance. Too bad his films are firmly planted in 90s camp - with the exception of GoldenEye which is my favorite even I have to admit Brosnan's flicks do not rank among the best of the Bond films.

The Bond you like reflects the age you are.

The Bond you like reflects the age you are.

So, when I think that the first and the last Bond, Connery and Craig, were the only two real Bonds, what does that say about my age?

I would put him at a very close 2. The issues with his bond movies as you said wasn't the acting but the script etc.

Sean was and will always be 007

Too young to have prostate issues ;-)

Absolutely. But Daniel brought the Bond character back towards the Bond of Ian Fleming's original books. The decline started already with Roger Moore (stay with The Saint, Roger!) and only got worse until Daniel Craig entered the scene.

The writers in Daniels that I saw returned it to the closer to the original..... however he was lacking the suave factor.
