Countdown to Quantum of Solace

Now with the new 007 film coming out nationwide on Friday November 14th we gotta take a look back to see what has resulted over 46 years of James Bond legacy. With being a huge fan of this film series, one can't help but be drawed into this spy production!! I bet author Ian Fleming never realized or even imagined the magnitude that his novels would become. And to top it off the 007 franchise is the longest running film series in history!!

Top Three Bond Men

And of course one cannot forget the leading man himself James Bond. With 46 years under its belt the 007 series has had 6 men to execute the role M16 agent James Bond.

1. Sean Connery

The Originator of 007...My all-time favorite he played it to a tee!! Connery was so on point in this role!

2. Daniel Craig

Now at first I was a little skeptical of Daniel Craig being the new bond, but he blew me out of my seat when I saw casino Royale. Any doubts that I had were all vanished. He brought that charisma, sex appeal, and swagger to do the role justice. This is why he comes a close second to Sean Connery.

3. Pierce Bronson

Bronson would be the Bond who would give a little twist since he was an Irishman. However, he would serve his time well and bring a unique flair to the film series.
