Saw this recently... he was a great bond, IMO.
A briton could be either a Scot, Englishman, Welshman, or from N. Ireland. Of the four "main" Bonds, Moore is the only Englishman. Odd, doncha think?
Fleming originally wanted the bloke from the Avengers - Patrick Mc (Gee?) i think, he also was very keen on Richard Burton ...
Course, he also wanted Hitchcock to direct too....
... he instead went off elswehere and did some obscure film called 'Pyscho' ...
... Loser!

Might go and see it - my brother said he enjoyed it.
Every time I see the title of this thread, I think of porn.
wikipedia.com said:James Bond's parents are Andrew Bond, a Scotsman and Monique Delacroix, from Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. Their nationalities were established in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Fleming emphasised Bond's Scottish heritage in admiration of Sean Connery's cinematic portrayal, whereas Bond's mother is named after a Swiss fiancée of Fleming's; a planned, but unwritten, novel would have portrayed Bond's mother as a Scot.
But Diana Rigg in a black leather catsuit was the main (if not only) reason to watch that show.
Connery was the only one I ever believed as the Bond the books describe.
Well, i turned out it was not that bad as I thought it would. In fact the movie is great, but is so "un-Bond". It just lacks so much things that set out as pretty standard to the series. It's supposed to be closest to the original novels.
As I said before it's impossible not to like the movie. It was very well made. Craig is not bad either, he lack some skill, but you feel he made exactly what was expected of him.
