Although I don't wish to be pedantic about matters, the film is bigger than the character. So what does that mean in terms of genre:?
1. Early Bond was initially in the cold war spy/adventure genre. The main charcter was primarly sexual or sensual.
2. Middle Bond turned to humour through self-parody., which bgan with the opening of OHMSS but was essentially the Moore era. His sexuality was playful and lacking in danger.
3.Late Bond is essentially an action film: Dalton did a spy film and then a revenge film, and both the later Bonds are in the same mould. Bond loses his sexual appeal due to the need to push forward the action.
Being somewhat brought up with adventure stories, and partial to serious spy films and novels, the early Bond films appeal to me. Connery is also the only Bond that is decidedly louche.
They also have the benefit of being first. Given that the films have almost the same structure, there are only so many interesting variations however successful the movies may be.

You missed out on your chance to co-star with Roger Moore in Octopussy. They wanted a tennis player but couldn’t handle the extra budget hit from your appetite for gulab jamuns during lunch breaks. Vijay Armritraj got hired instead.

I'm not sure that the cameo by the Indian tennis star, and the movie in general, did anything but reinforce Asian stereotypes.

I stopped watching after Roger Moore too, but nobody was more Bond than Sean Connery, in my opinion.Is the correct answer.

Don't despair, I know Djoker is no Roger, but he is worthy of a good match here and there.Is the correct answer.

Never seen a man run faster. Every movie has at least one Cruise running scene.

Didn't it get broken when he jumped to the other building and he stopped after that scene?

Pierce Brosnan was too nice to play Bond, who is a nasty piece of work. Connery for me was the best, followed by Craig. Both had/have that nasty edge about them.

It is proven that open hand running chops the air in order to gain a bit of speed.
I have seen how the Bond movies have slowly moved to cater to wider audiences and different social sentiments.
They always include a substantial US connection to cater to the US audience.
There is increasing Asian presence where the markets are growing, and the portrayal is different from the subservient Asian shown in movies like Octopussy.
Women are stronger and independent, and less good-looking.
Sexist jokes have decreased.
Attempts are made to avoid casting Middle Eastern guys as the default villains.

Watched that yesterday, lol. But don't remember if he broke it at the beginning of the chase or did it happen in the middle/at the end.

Pierce Brosnan was let down by bad film after Goldeneye. No surprise that the games followed a similar path down mediocre road.

I dislike Pierce Brosnan's voice intenselly whereas both Connery and Moore are enjoyable to listen to.
They should cast Bond on voice first and foremost and then worry about the rest. The show is essentially a musical with action elements.
Connery not only had a good voice, but he also danced well. None of the rest moved well at all.
For both singing and dancing, Connery was the full package.

This guy is the only successor to Craig that I’m interested in seeing as the next 007:
