I really wish they would make Connery a Bond villain.

It's a better setup than when 007 has to fight with his former colleage in Goldeneye.

And you can already see the line that would be in all the commercials: "I used to have your job, Bond"

The problem would be everyone would secretly want Connery to win and get rid of the current goody 007, and the typcial American movie goer doesn't care for endings that don't let the good guy win. It would conflict the audience.

I have a friend who will watch a whole series of a show and like it just fine, but if the ending isn't formulaic with the hero winning and everything returning to "just fine status", he calls the whole series crap.

Some stuff I read on Wikipedia about Roger Moore that I found entertaining (and pretty accurate, IMO):

. . . fans of his from outside the UK have often been surprised and disappointed to find that, in Britain, he is not critically respected (in the way that Anthony Hopkins and indeed, Sean Connery are), and has sometimes been viewed as a joke figure, in the way Americans regard David Hasselhoff or William Shatner.

In The Good Film And Video Guide (published 1986), David Shipman wrote of A View To A Kill that Moore as James Bond was 'not so much like a piece of plastic, as something embalmed but moving'.

The satire show Spitting Image once had a sketch in which their latex likeness of Moore, when asked to display emotions by an offscreen director, does nothing but raise an eyebrow. . . That series later featured a Bond movie spoof, The Man With The Wooden Delivery, with Moore's puppet receiving orders from Margaret Thatcher to kill Mikhail Gorbachev, and many other comedy shows of that time ridiculed Moore's acting . . .

(+_+):

I'm taking a different approach to the question.

I've liked every Bond except Timothy Dalton. He just wasn't James Bondy.
