I really can't pick the best bond, I prefer to pick the films.
I mean Sean Connery is the classic king of bond, but I honestly think the two best films are Goldeneye and The Living Daylights (Pierce Bosnan and Timothy Dalton) repsectively.

What's wrong with Craig? Too serious? Too blond?reg42 said:
Anyways, either Connery or Craig for me. I only voted Craig because I know everyone else will spring for Connery.
I voted for Pierce Brosnan because I haven't seen that many Bond movies but majority of them starred Brosnan. It seems that a lot of people on The Escapist believe Connery is the best one though, so I will have to check out some of his Bond movies soon.
Hate to say it, but Daniel Craig. His movies are the best. His Bond isn't a retarded caricature of itself (like Moore and Brosnan). They also give him the right amount of psychopath (his character has an edge). Read a couple of the books and you realize that Bond is not meant to be and action-comedy romp (and is better for it). It's a serious look at a person who has to kill people to do his job. Craig's Bond (and the films) capture this.
Connery's a close second. His character still has a serious element to it, but the films don't hold up as anything other than Bond films. I think Craigs will be seen as legitimate members of the Thriller/Spy genre and not just "Bond." One thing I really appreciated about Connery's Bond was that he was a man. No man-scaping that chest hair.
Moore and Brosnan were suave, but also sleazy. And they films they were in were terrible. "I thought Christmas only came once a year?" They gave her that fucking name just for that one fucking joke! And Moore dress like a fucking clown in one movie. A clown!
Lazenby didn't get enough of a shot. Sad really. He could have been great.
Dalton's an enigma. His films suffer from massive "80's action movie syndrome," but Dalton himself has a really good suave-but-still-gritty look. I think he deserved another go. Dalton's performance raises the quality of the films he was in.

Start wit From Russia With Love. It's one of his best, and definitely underrated.Thunderhorse94 said:
Connery and Craig. Craig makes for a mother fucking brilliant Bond. None bad but those 2 really kicks ass.
Sean Connery. It's absolutely his character. His movies are a classic.
Moore is a close second.
It's not because of him that I hated, HATED Casino Royale.
Moore is a close second.
He's not a bad actor but he is no Bond. Too serious, too wooden.thebobmaster said:

He's not actually a bad actor or nothing, but he just doesn't seem like a Bond. To me, Bond is suave, smooth, subtle. He doesn't blow shit up, except when necessary. Craig is more of a action hero. I can almost see him playing Rambo, certainly one of the boxers in Rocky.thebobmaster said:
Anyway that's all IMO.
