Best James Bond 007 | Sean Connery vs. Roger Moore

I know there six actors that have played James Bond´s role: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

But the “golden age” is starred by one of these two. Sean Connery or Roger Moore? Which one is your favourite? Why?

    Roger Moore is the best James Bond for me, primarily because he was my “first” James Bond. I watched him in A View to a Kill then searched for his others. I didn’t discover Connery until much later – but I’ll admit, he’s almost won me over now.

    Roger Moore looks more like a British Spy.

    Never cared much for this bond. I guess it was because he was the Bond to replace my beloved Sean Connery.

    Roger Moore is the better bond without a doubt. I don’t know exactly what it is but he has connery beat hands down.

    he is a real english gentlemen. he is polite, calm, charming, cool, but also tough and in very good physical shape. connery is too much rough and tough, he is a bull, not a gentlemen. and one needs to be very stupid to even compare him with moore

    Moore is the best out of the six b/c of something people believe is a weakness. I think b/c of his light and carefree demeanor, the character of 007 himself is underestimated frequently by key characters in ALL of the Moore films. Unlike all the other actors like Connery, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan, and Craig, where you can kind of see them coming as James Bond, Moore’s personality as 007 allows him to slip under-the-radar, and just adds on to the myth of JB.

    Quite simply… he personified the total Bond package: brute, charm, wit, and above all sense of humor. A better more enjoyable Bond. I like Connery. But Roger Moore was/is STILL the best
    Bond ever………….

    Made the part his own when others felt the franchise should die with Connery. Plus he’s bloody English!!!

    although a hard choice,I do prefer Roger Moore.He holds my intention much more.His films are not so heavy and he brings alot of charm to the role,. but he also uses his “license to kill when he has to”,.Everyone has their favorite bond film.Mine are Octopussy and From Russia with love.Moore really hit his stride with with” The spy who loved me”:

    Because he brings more life to the character, he’s more gentle. Sean connery is too grey…

    Because he’s the suavest, handsomest and driest of the James Bonds, and also the most identified with the role.

    First of all they’re both legends to me but i would go for Roger Moore because he’s a natural playboy he’s got lovely jokes and he just seems to be the one that comes closest to Ian Fleming’s original concept of James bond, remembering that one of Ian’s biggest inspirations for Bond was Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.

    He was magnetic and his Bond films are by and large far more watchable and entertaining. Connery was a great Bond, but Moore was pure escapism. Just what Bond should be.

    He portrayed Bond in a more humorous way and was more polished and more accessible to a wider audience. Connery had a cold portrayal of the character, was more of a womanizer

    Because Sean Connery IS and always will be, Bond. He is the flesh and blood embodiment of the literary James Bond Ian Flemming create.

    Sean Connery “IS” James Bond. Every woman loves him. Men want to be him. He just ‘is’.

    Connery can act. Moore played Bond with a silliness that would have Flemming rolling over! Connery forever.

    Why? You are kidding me? Sean Connery is a superstar and regarded as one of the sexiest men alive. Roger Moore isn’t. Just watch goldfingrr then any Moore film. Roger Moore would fair better against Austin powers, whom he is more like. Bess him

    I think Sean knew when and how to act serious and funny when needed in this role…Roger even though he was great in the role was mostly funny in the Bond films which were hard for me to see them as being classics.
