* Bond is introduced in the almost operatically huge cold war epic Thunderball in '62. Audiences were confused and disappointed in the '63 prequel Casino Royale which was much smaller in tone. The studio rushed From Russia with Love in '65, and is believed to step back into form with Live and Let Die and Moonraker, the latter is widely considered the quintessential Bond film (and is today part of the National Film Registry)
** Burt Reynolds's 007 is known as "the Bond with the sideburns" or else "the Bond with the bad english accent" and for his progressively wackier adventures as the decade wore on. By The Spy Who Loved Me Reynolds had completely abandoned the British accent. It culminated with '79's Octopussy wherein Bond escapes from a giant octopus puppeted by the Jim Henson Company.
***Sam Neill played Bond as a much more serious character. Whether as a reaction to his predecessor's zany storylines or in response the end of detente in the cold war, Neil's 007 emphasized genuine spywork, engagement with cold war politics, complex mysteries. To signal this departure in tone Bond marries his love interest Teresa Draco (Helen Mirren) at the end of The Property of a Lady. This character is then killed in a cliffhanger at the end of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, with the murder avenged in You Only Live Twice.
†With the end of the Cold War the studio decided to go into a different direction. Instead of relying on Fleming's works, screenwriters instead focused on post-Fleming novels to mark the shift of politics. Colonel Sun nearly created an international incident on its open antagonism of a Communist China that many thought would be next in the Autumn of Nations. The films were all commercial successes, if critical failures, although audiences reacted poorly to Zero Minus Ten with it's invisible car.
††Višnjić's 007 started with trouble. To begin with, the little known Croation actor was considered a stretch for the part. But more dramatically Brokenclaw had to be reshot. The film's title villain was a self-described "economic terrorist" who attempted to trigger a financial disaster by bombing the world's center of trade: including the Twin Towers in NYC. Obviously after the September 11th attacks the whole thing had to be rescripted. Taking advantage of Višnjić's classical good looks and European affectations, the studio went for a deliberately retro look for his other movies.
Dr. No (2003), Riscio (2005), For Your Eyes Only (2007), and From a View to a Kill (2009) never actually took place in the 1960s but still contained deliberate anachronisms, avoided explicit references to current affairs, and were shot using 60s era techniques.
††† Elba's performance has been unique, not simply because of the color of his skin. His 007 is conflicted, clearly a damaged soul who indulges in surface-level pleasures to mask the hollowness of being a paid killer for the government. Female characters are not disposable "bond girls" but often fully realized personalities. Elba's Bond womanizes, but not without consequences; the films do not portray 007's mindless sex as something to be desired by the audience but instead as reckless and irresponsible diversions from his mission or relapses into self-damaging behavior. After the infamous Love Triangle scene in Carte Blanche bloggers asked if Elba was portraying the "first bisexual bond." "That's beside the point," Elba responded, "007 is a sociopath. He will do anything or use anyone in order to feel something again." Furthermore, the movies themselves take a critical look at 007's missions, with ethically grey villains and 007 frequently conflicted about the morality of his tasks. Elba received an academy award nomination for this portrayal in Devil May Care and his films have been consistent critical hits, although they are a frequent target of online reactionaries and the alt-right who despise the "pussification of bond"
