Most of them were good, including Moore and Brosnan, But what makes Sean Connery a legend was because he was the original James Bond, everyone after him had to emulate, they did improvise.. but always had to keep Connery in mind.

Vj-
do you know that Craig is the first Bond to be born after the start of the series? Bonds are usually unknown until they play 007, But this is the first time I will be following a Bond right from the announcement, so lets see how it goes..

I feel that by resigning from the post of chairman, he did not do the right thing. Hopefully he will re consider the decision. As long as caste based politics continues in India, morons like Gowda will continue to be Prime Ministers and King makers..

Saif Ali Khan winning it was a disgrace to the award! Atleast as of now he is a very average actor! Its an insult to his predecessor Vikram!
