Dan for me, then Connery.. but don't think they can really be compared as Connery will always be the best 'Cheesy' bond and Dan's been more realistic (to an extent).. Still haven't seen the new one yet so no spoilers!! Haha  |

for me it had too be Sir Roger Moore, better actor and much more a ladys man, ideal for a Special Secret Service man,
Daniel Craigs, good- but I am a traditionalist, for me its Sir Roger Moore, better actor, and much more charming than Sir Sean Connery could ever be- can't stand him, but thats just my personal opinion |

as good as danny boy is he,s a long way off fulfilling the role as well as sir sean did in his time think off connery now in his prime with all the effects and touchups that go on now miles in front just my opinion |

Ian Flemming, never meant, for a Scot, to play James Bond, bond is and always was english, and no matter what anyone says, Sean Connery was a poor imitation of James Bond- Sir Roger Moore was the best, and if nobody likes my opinion, tough |

Hmm....wasn't Bond 1/2 Scottish and 1/2 Swiss...? And isn't it generally agreed that the character of Bond was based on a Scottish Highland Gent from the Forces he knew, from the Cawdor area? Obviously opinions will vary and nobody will ever know (just Google and see and I'm sure we'll get 1000,001 connontations of thought!lol). To me, Roger Moore was the campest, most ridiculously unbelieveable Bond. AS I recall in many Bond books, Bond was roughed up quite a lot - so as far as 'accuracy' goes, could it be suggested that the likes of Craig is nearest in that respect to the original...but having said that....does it really matter? lol   |

I doubt Fleming ever expected anyone to play Bond in the cinema.
Connery was of his era but expectations of cinema audiences have moved on. Some Bonds were better than others. Niven and Dalton were dire. Moore was pretty forgettable.
Daniel Craig is a bit pretty but excellent in all other respects. |

the films themselves have changed over the years with little or no humour now.....far grittier and of course better special effects
sean was the best in the older genre bond films and daniel is the best in the new ones
timothy and roger were dreadful actors never mind bonds but pierce was ok |

sorry dr d, have too disagree with you there, you cannot put timothy dalton-welshman, in the same boat as roger moore, his acting skills, have never ever been called to question, and besides which in the bond movies- sean connery as bond, invariably got his butt kicked by the baddies

What does the fact Dalton is Welsh have to do with anything? |

Disagree, Moore's only acting abilities were in his eyebrows. |

Well bonds parentage was given as scottish father and swiss mother so where you get english from that i will never know lol. Apparently fleming gave bond scottish ancestry in the novel of you only live twice which was the first published after the filming of dr no after being so impressed by sean connery's portrayal in dr no. |
