Best Bond actor?

[Inarticulate_Underachiever]

Sean Connery is the overall best but I'm rather fond of Timothy Dalton

 

[The Great JT]

It's gotta be Connery.

 

[Unknower]

Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

 

[Matey]

Roger Moore was awesome.
but i do like the new movies the most. much more gritty and realistic.
so id say Craig is probably the best.. but alot of that is to with better scripts. i think Moore did really well. most of the Connery ones were just too corny. Brosnan was good but the scripts after goldeneye kept getting worse. Dalton was pretty good. i liked his movies. and i never was able to watch all of the lazenby one...

so i guess...

Craig
Moore
Brosnon
Dalton
Connery
...
...
...
Lazenby

Sean Connery, he just a gentleman as a gentleman should be, unlike Bond is in the new movies. There he's more like the Hulk's Caucasian brother.

nah he looks more like he's from France than he's from the UK

I think Daniel Craig is the best with his raw, violent style, makes you believe that he is an actual spy.

Do you know what a spy actually is? A spy is about NOT get into fighting....

I really like Craig. I think he brings the gritty feel that the bond films need. My second favorite is the Sean.

 

[J-Man]

Connery. Just love his accent.

 

[Ripshot]

Brosnon, he keeps true to the James Bond style and I like his movies a bit more than Dalton (My #2)

Ok, maybe "agent" would be more appropriate.

Daniel Craig is the worst worst worst. If he just did action moves, amazing, but Bond he goes out of hsi way to NOT be bond. Sean Connery is the best, and anyone who says otherwise must have only seen 1 Bond movie ever. Peirce was a good modern bond but he still was BOND, not some actiong uy who looks nothing like him, acts nothing like him, and is nothing like him.

most of the Connery ones were just too corny

how the hell were sean connerys corny? after 40 years of EVERYONE things done and said in dr. no, goldfinger, you only live twice, etc. i could see, but that speaks more of whats being copied than the orginal. connerys were the best out of all of them.

i get so tired of people calling daniel craig "the real bond". yes he does a damn good job of playing bond, but in my opinion connery did a better job. suave, smart, cunning, ruthless, sure daniel craigs bond does this as well, but connery did it better. in my opinion connery does a better job portraying ian flemings character than anyone, with craig as a close second. and the fact that no one else has surpassed connerys job in from russia with love speaks quite a bit.

In order from best to worst: Sean Connery, Daniel Craig, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby.

This is debatable though. Timothy Dalton also brought a great gritty darkness to Bond so he could be ahead of Roger Moore.

Poor Lasenby, no one likes him. Strangely enough Moore was probably the most out of shape and generally pudgy of all the actors to play bond, he had a girdle under his suit for most shoots to hide his belly. While Lasenby was probably the most fit and athletic of all the bonds. Its very true about Dalton's gritty take on bond, much closer to what fleming wanted, and of course now there is craig who has done an awesome job.

Roger Moore also got alot of silly plots...his first two movies were good...but the rest urrr...

Also no other actor delivers one liners as Connery did.
Shocking! Positively shocking!

Firstly I'd like to say that Craig is crap, both Casino royalse and Quatum of solace were crap and he just doesn't seem to fit the role. Now before I enter a rant long enough to bore the most patient of saints I'm gonna just list the remianing Bonds in accending order of preference.

David Niven (Not really a Bond but his movie was still good)
George Lazenby
Roger Moore
Pierce Brosnan
Sean Connery
Timothy Dalton
