Sean's Best, Worst Bonds
Basically, Sean Connery was incredible in his first four Bonds...Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball...unbelievable talent,presence.
However, he had very forgettable performances in You Only Live Twice, Diamonds are Forever, and Never Say Never Again. He was okay in You Only Live Twice, but the script was all action and offered him little in the way of acting. Diamonds are Forever was a horrible production and Connery seemed very bored and disengaged. Never Say Never Again was a complete joke - it could have been directed by Ed Wood. Connery at this point was not a convincing Bond...he was frail and soft spoken.
