There's A LOT of people who consider Connery to be the ultimate Bond and won't accept any of the others. :D
See "Catch Me If You Can"? :)

......I personally liked them all. Some better than others.
To be fair, I’ve only seen Goldfinger and LALD

I do remember liking the latter for their cheesier moments, I probably didn’t understand half of what was going on, I watched them at my Uncle’s house and he skipped past all the sex parts. I only remember the Jazz funeral scene, the scene where the villain inefficiently tried to kill Bond with crocodiles, the goldfinger scene, and the Fort Knox scene, asides from that I was bored out of my mind because I was expecting cool action stuff.

Try watching them again.
Maybe you'll get more out of them now.
Just try to take into consideration the year they were made....the state of the art as far as fx goes, the style of acting at the time etc.
The '70s car chases were pretty good in LALD, and I liked the Jazz funeral too.

My old elementary school where my siblings now attend implemented the most goddamn stupid rule I’ve ever heard.

In order to “stop fighting” on the playground, they divided it into sections. One class gets a section for a day and it rotates. Students aren’t allowed to play on sections other than their designated one, aren’t even allowed to play with their friends in other classes.
