I'm with you on this one, Rico.

Goldfinger--possibly following by From Russia With Love--are the best of the Bond movies based on Ian Fleming books.

I read all of Fleming's Bond books in high school, and enjoyed both them and their movie versions. I think he only wrote about 13? or so.

After that, to keep the money-making franchise going, they started making up plots. Not as clever or interesting as Fleming's books. And the endless series of actors playing James Bond. Connery was the best IMHO, though Fleming didn't like him (at all or at first?).

Roger Moore was less, and Pierce Brosnan--well, along with Moore, he represents the cutsy Bond. Connery had a presence on the screen that couldn't be matched; he seemed rather stocky, and as a movie viewer, I actually felt he could be ruthless and deadly when he had to be. Not so for the cutsy Bond actors.

all the best, regards
