That would be Sir Sean Connery. The one in the 90's was Pierce Brosnan.ffxfriek post=18.75115.860149 said:
Pierce Brosnan for mine; he's everything James Bond should be, suave, sophisticated, witty and capable of handling himself.
Sean Connery was also brilliant, I just didn't find him as smooth as Brosnan. Roger Moore did a decent job; he nailed Bond's smart-arse side but just didn't seem as physically intimidating as some of the others.
Which brings me to Daniel Craig. Initially I was sceptical because he looked too rough to be your typical Bond, however he brings a certain amount of rawness and brutality to the role which I think is a welcome change. If you are up against a Her Magesty's finest you would expect to be in for the fight of your life and that's where Daniel Craig delivers.

Daniel Craig. Casino Royale is the only Bond film I could honestly say I liked. Just found the others far too cheesy.
I'm sorry, but wtf is with all the people voting for Daniel Craig?! Sure, Casino Royale was a great film and he did quite a good job in it but it wasn't amazing. Just because the last few Brosnan ones were a bit naff doesn't mean you can go around declaring Casino to be the greatest Bond movie ever and Craig to be the "chosen one". It wasn't the grittiest Bond flick, it wasn't the most realistic, it wasn't the most faithful to the novels, it didn't have the strongest villain(s), hell, it didn't even have the hottest Bond girls (absolute crackers though in fairness, as you'd expect). So now, go off and watch the other 20 films and see the error of your ways or else come up with a damn good justification of picking Craig over the others.
Okay, rant over. Sorry, this is one of the few issues I actually have a strong opinion on

Seconded. And thank you. But alas, off to actually watch casino royale now for a refresher course on the votes on this thread lolkurozen post=18.75115.861089 said:I'm sorry, but wtf is with all the people voting for Daniel Craig?!

Daniel Craig watching that Parkour scene in Casino Royale is tempting me to get back into it.
I really liked the combat coreography of Casino Royale was excellent, practical but not boring like almost every Bond who just does the punch Daniel Craig seemed to be the only Bond actor that had bothered to learn a martial art...

With sebastian foucan (sp?)? He's amazing in it... But otherwise, why vote craig in for that scene?Rodyille post=18.75115.861221 said:
i prefer polar covalent, but that's just me. just joking but this is way to weird, i just had a chem quiz on chemical bonds and the extra credit question was; "what type of bond is involved in espionage?"
But more on topic Daniel Craig because he fit the description of bond that's in the book, as in he wasn't overly handsome, he was more of a scruffy kinda guy who wore moccasins.

SO... Don't mean to be awkward, but all of the Craig fans seem very vocal in comparison to the winning Connery fans... Reasons?
For me, its brosnan for me, just because my first bond film was goldeneye. It was the first(and pretty much only) bond girl i found attractive. By bond girl I mean xenia- she was hot right? Or am I just a little odd
Also, he actually seems to have fun as bond which is something most of the other bonds seem to lack. Though it is true, he did suffer towards the end of his section of films due to the cartoony aspect taking over. Generally as an indicator, once Q disappears for good, the brosnan films go pear shaped.
Follow that up with Craig. I have no idea why, but i just like the new style (ripped from bourne) they are taking with the films. i just hope they manage to stave off the return to flash gadgetville and stupendously silly explosion avenue for a while longer, the only thing I fear about the upcoming film. Casino Royale was good because at times I felt bond could actually be hurt and die.
I don't want that suspension of disbelief to fade. At least for another few films.

For me its Sean Connery ... the first bond films I saw were Peirce Brosnen (spelling?) so in a way he is who I think of as bond; however he certainly wasn't as good as Sean Connery.
Nobody else has his style, accent, or oration skill.

Sean Connery and Danny Craig are my favorites. Pierce Brosnan had one good film with golden Eye but the rest of them drags him down i feel. Rosamund Pike though...... i cant remember the name of that film but i remember her very well.
I have a ticket for the first showing of the new film here in Birmingham, i cant see it being a disappointment to be honest!
