I always really liked Dalton as Bond. He's likely the most skilled actor of the bunch.

Without question. I quite liked him in the role as well. Both of his films were very good for the first two acts but fell apart at the end.

Precisely, the douche (Craig) even does commercials for non alcoholic beer as “Bond”

He’s bloody awful.

Honestly all of the Bond actors are fine actors.

The issue with all the films is the unevenness of the writing and plots - which is out of the actors control.

The Craig era was especially vulnerable to this. The writers were too self conscious and self referential, which ruined the overall era. They also wrote Bond as too brooding, and randomly kept making it seem like he's getting old, and the era of the spy is over. It also did away with the Bond Gadgets, which is a major plot point of James Bond.

Sorry, when I think of Bond, Connery is the best. What I grew up with. Other than Connery, I like Bronson second

They tried to make a realistic Bond which they did that part well with Craig BUT he always had a stick up his ass and took the role too serious which went away from Ian Flemmings Bond. Connery I would rank 2nd but Thunderball was his best and I would rate that as the number 2 best Bond film of all time. So good that Connery's remake just didn't hit the mark. As cheesy as Diamonds are Forever was, it was still entertaining.

Moore got a several good films in though at his appearance of age was kind of pushing it. Spy Who Loved Me was probably his best because Jaws and the Russian Spy.

Tomorrow Never Dies has one of the best intros hand down but Terri's character and her story was meh. After the 740iL remote control scene is where it loses the shine.

THE ONLY 007 movies worth watching are the ones with Connery, Sean Connery!

Connery set the bar.

Craig played it more to the books than any other actor.

None of the movie Bonds are quite written like the books.

In the books, theres some pretty awesome shit that just wouldnt fly. Bond taking 40 cigarrettes and a bunch of amphetamine pills to the casino so he can gamble all night while drinking champagne without his wits dulling.

All I know, is Craig was the only bond I believed was fit and could kick some ass.

Hell in pierces last movie, even after being imprisoned and tortured he was still fat.
