Certainly not me. Its all about the movie, not the actor.Napoleon Solo wrote: Here's what I'm saying: If a fan likes one actor, they'll praise aspects of that actor's movie yet may criticize the same, or similar, aspect of a movie featuring the actor they don't like.

Connery is probably still my favourite Bond, yet I don't particularly like either YOLT or NSNA. I think they are both fairly naff. I really like Craig as Bond but I'm not overly impressed with QoS.Napoleon Solo wrote:
There are other examples that have nothing to do with Craig. For example, there are first-generation fans, who grew up on Connery, who still foam at the mouth about Roger Moore. It's all his fault the movies are so jokey, etc. But what about Never Say Never Again, where Connery had a lot of control (including bringing in writers to redo the script) and it ended up jokey? "It's not Sean's fault!" etc. I think it's fairly common that fans are sometimes inconsistent. I also know I'm not going to change that but I may still point out the inconsistencies every once in a while.
So for me its not really to do with the actor, but more the movie itself. Stick Craig in DAD and I would have still hated it, stick Brozza in CR and I would have still loved it.
I don't know why Bond fans put so much emphasis on the actor, when for me the most important factor has always been the movie. It just so happens I find Brozza's 4 films utterly dreadful, hence why I tarnish him with the same brush.
