I am happy to agree with the support for Dalton, Moore in AVTAK and Brosnan. I am comparatively cool on Brosnan's tenure in the role, but he's never a problem, even if he is my least favourite Bond. Moore is ace in every film, and in the non-a…

My own controversial opinion regarding John Glen is that he directed the most consistent five film run in the franchise. AVTAK is a slight downturn, but otherwise he made four outstanding Bond films.
