Roger Moore was unreachable in the elegance of making and drinking Martini coctails!

Brosnan was awful.
Timothy Dalton was worse.
George Lazenby is a trivia question.
But....Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever,

Now, I happen to like the Saint character. So I like Moore's Bond.
Craig's Bond - is a very interesting character. I don't like him much - and the difference in elegance between Fleming's Casino Royale and Craig's is palpable (sorry, poker devotees, but even with million-franc plaques, not the same cachet as Baccarat). The movies - oh yes, I do like me the movies. But are they Bond movies? Not sure. They look a lot like Bourne movies...

I'll take Connery.
Yes the saint was fun tv as was DangerMAN(Secret agent man)/The prisoner/Avengers. Am rewatching all the old Man from Uncle tv shows (4 years) off of Netflix

Gotta disagree. I think Fleming dropped the ball here. IMO, given that Bond is
1) intelligent, and
2) competitive
I don't see him having the temperment or the inclination to pay a house commission to flip coins. I have much more respect for the character, and find him more believable, playing a game of skill.

2. Brosnan very british
3. Moore close to perfect
Craig is okay, but I prefer the Bonds with humor, sex and Q with his tricks.
I agree that the new Bonds are like Bournes. Not bad at all, but ...

Connery reflected that ethos with panache. Craig seems to have a good take on this line despite the current propensity for pyrotechnics and stunts. The others were just charicatures of the image.

i know it's sometimes hard to separate the movie from the character, but to me craig is quite a bit better than connery (who is, imo, his only competition)... especially in casion royale we see the beginning and end of any humanity or morality bond may have had, and craig captured that perfectly... while the criticism of solace (bourne-like, for example) may have been warranted, i still prefer craig's characterization

Craig is certainly more in tune with today's expectations.... looks of frenetic action... and more graphic violence... than Connery's performances seem when one watches an older Bond movie... but, judged in the context of their times, the Connery versions were very good.
I agree with the comparison of the Craig Bond to Bourne... except that Craig is a much better actor than Damon.
I never liked Moore...as Bond... he seemed too detached from the role... the antithesis of Craig who seems to be the role.... as was Connery in his best films. But Moore has never claimed to be an 'actor'.
