Before we go any further lets divide the Bond Movies in four significant patterns. First wave of Bond movies shall belong to time period of Sean Connery. The second wave shall belong to Roger Moore. Third wave belongs to Pierce Brosnan and lastly the fourth and the recent wave belongs to Daniel Craig. I have not included Timothy Dalton’s contribution as James Bond since he can only be credited for two Bond movies which were not even as famous as the above four Bonds’. George Lazenby’s movie stands alone as an exception and his movie is discussed in detail.
Bond is a very mysterious and extraordinary character. Ian Fleming wanted the name of Bond to be suitably dull and contrast it to the extraordinary events that would happen around him. The name of the famous spy was actually lifted from the author of a bird guide book. ...
Ignore the haters, his accent's fine. We loved his unruffled, witty, gentleman spy. Plus he actually IS James Bond (there is a sequence with a hotel receptionist, which thoroughly establishes his super sexy spy credentials).
There might be hundreds of movie stars but Sean Connery is a very good one. Sean Connery is a very interesting man and has done many things in his life as a child, movie actor, and a father. He has become a very famous man because of his acting career.

Throughout Casino Royale, James Bond is brought to the readers as very hard and insensitive. Whereas the film in 2006, Bond is brought to the film watchers as sensitive and caring. Men in the 1950’s society treat women than in today’s society. A lady should be treated with respect and given dignity. Men should

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24 in 1896. He was born in in St. Paul. Minnesota. His father, Edward, was full of charm, and dignity, and even though he worked he still had financial problems.

Beginning in 1962 with Sean Connery, the fictional MI6 spy James Bond has been played by a plethora of actors. At first, Mr. Bond was notorious as a cold, deadly killer and a conniving womanizer. However, as the actors for the role began to turn over, so did the portrayal of 007. For nearly fifty years the role was in constant transition with directors trying new things like adding humor or making Bond less promiscuous in an effort to craft the role to each new actor. In the end, Bond returned to his roots as a brutal, undisciplined agent played by Daniel Craig. While James Bond is no George Spiggott and Ian Fleming is no Christopher Marlow, a similar turnover can be seen between the works Dr. Faustus and Bedazzled. To begin with, the 1967 film Bedazzled is somewhat of a satirical retelling of the Faust narrative from the 1600s, and although many years separate each story, they are still very comparable. The relationship between these two works provides a social commentary on the perception of the Devil’s power during each time period and helps highlight humanity’s changing connection with God as a result of this.

Doyle’s detective stories were written to be told by a character to which he could relate. He trained to become a doctor and used this training to influence the profession of the narrator of his Sherlock Holmes stories, Dr. John Watson. It is through the eyes of Dr. Watson that we first see our main character, Sherlock Holmes (Geherin 295). Watson was not the only character inspired by a real-life figure, however. Doyle based the character of Holmes off of his instructor, Dr. Joseph Bell.
The James Bond series was created to boost up Britain’s prospects of being noticed as a powerful country with their own hero armed with fast cars, girls, gadgets and gimmicks. Over the years the audience grew to love this hero who they called ‘Bond, James Bond’ with his callous persona, dead-pan humour armed with good looks and a sexy voice to go with his trademark saying. In reality, Britain was falling rapidly from the world stage.
Out of the countless similarities between these two forms of literature, the most significant comparisons are the ones between the best friends of the egotistical main characters. It shows that even though Holmes and House are the most arrogant, lazy, and brilliant protagonists; they still have just a little bit of hope for their humanity because they have one person in their lives that try to bring out the best in them.
He is invincible and infallible. He is like a god who can save his partner and himself at any critical juncture. No matter how urgent and dangerous the situation is, Bond is able to make the right decisions all the time. However, in Casino Royale, Bond made plenty of mistakes. He got poisoned by Le Chiffre so easily, which almost killed him. He did not recognize his two “friends” were actually both traitors. Because of love, Bond got trapped and tortured by Le Chiffre, and he even wanted to quit his agent job in order to live with his girlfriend. In this version, James Bond is no longer infallible, no longer always cool and logical, he got emotions as well as weaknesses. Nonetheless, because of his weaknesses, James Bond became more like an actual human being who has flesh and blood, audiences would have more attachments to a character like
