Default Which actor was the best James Bond?

IMHO, no 'Bond' is more memorable in the role than the one that first appeared on the silver screen and saying 'Bond, James Bond'....Sean Connery

However, I do think that the latest actor to take on the role, Daniel Craig, gets my vote on who was the best Bond.

Granted it may be a result of movie making being far more advanced today, and that does make a difference

Connery would be my #2

There can be only one, and that one was Connery. All who followed were wanna be's.

Just my not so humble opinion.

I think we can all agree that Timothy Dalton was the worst. Pulling a wheelie with a tractor trailer is unforgivable. lol.

Pierce Brosnan was probably the most suave.
Daniel Craig the most kinetic.
Sean Connery the best overall
Roger Moore the goofiest. Jaws, biting a 2 inch cable...really. I still enjoyed those movies though.

Sean Connery is the best IMHO. Do enjoy Daniel Craig in the role as well almost as much as Connery.

I thought Connery was the best, but I don’t know if that was because I thought he was so handsome and smooth. IMO, Daniel Craig brought some depth to the character, and was pretty easy on the eyes.

Sean Connery was the best.
The worst was George Lazenby who only did one, thankfully

Default Bond

Peter Sellers, Casino Royal.
Otherwise Sean, if you read the books under the covers with a flashlight.

For a long time, I thought Connery was the best Bond. Despite not being the first person to play Bond (Barry Nelson played him in 1954 in a TV adaptation of Casino Royale), he basically invented the role. After that, I thought Timothy Dalton was quite good despite very poorly written movies. Then Pierce Brosnan was kind of fun despite increasingly silly scripts. I never cared much for Roger Moore or George Lazenby. And let's not mention David Niven (who was Ian Fleming's original pick to play the role) or Woody Allen (as his nephew, Jimmy Bond) in the first theatrical version of Casino Royale.

Unfortunately, Jason Bourne upset the Bond applecart for me. The films with Matt Damon were electrifying and made the Bond movies look just plain silly in comparison. In response to this, they reinvented Bond and Daniel Craig just knocked it out of the park. In my book, he as bumped Connery off the top of the heap. I look forward to seeing his next outing in the role, even though I know it will be his last.
