I think he's my favorite Bond to date. I never thought anyone would unseat Connery.

I'm with you. I also liked Roger Moore, as that's who was Bond when I was growing up. He was slightly less believable than Connery though, as he wasn't very physically impressive IMO.

Love that guy. He is not as tongue in cheek as Connery and Moore. Dalton and Brosnan were failures. Craig is just a bad ass.

Connery's Bond made one or two smart quips per movie. Otherwise he played the role quite seriously while Moore clowned it up. There was no "tongue in cheek" about Connery as Bond. No comparison at all.

And Dalton is my 2nd best Bond ever and was in two of my favorite 007 movies. EON just did not give him a fair shake.

As for Craig, bad ass alone does not Bond make. He does not look the part at all. I hated Moore's clown-Bond, but craig's chip-on-the-shoulder-Bond is fast running its course. We get it. He is angry! Time to loosen up a bit.... Sheesh!

Connery was not very tongue in cheek at all. Moore and Lazenby, on the other hand, were comic buffoons.

I have no problems with Craig. I wouldn't put him up with Connery - who was so good Ian Fleming changed the character to be more like him - but he captures the meanness and the ruthlessness of the character really well.

Also, crashing VW Beetles in a Bond film. At last.

Oh hell yes......what a tease. Looks spectacular.

Oh the humanity! :)

Rankin' em!

1. Connery (duh!)
2. Craig
3. Dalton - I know, but the guy had as steely a glare as any bond.
4. Brosnan
5. Lazenby
6. James Coburn as Derek Flint
7. Dean Martin as Matt Helm
8. Roger Moore
9. Mike Myers as Austin Powers
10. David Niven

If it's not apparent, I was never a big fan of the Roger Moore James Bond movies. Part of the reason I rank Dalton so high is due to the fact he wasn't Roger Moore. Don't get me wrong, I liked Moore in other things - he'll always be Simon Templar, but some it seemed like the poor plots were just vehicles for stunts and funny spy gadgets. The Craig Bonds have been very refreshing. The gadgets aren't gadgets at all, and the plots have a more realistic feel to them.

Can't wait for this movie. I remember way back when Casino Royale first came out, I thought it was the worst movie ever! Turned it off during the first Poker scene. I decided to give it another chance a few years later and realized it was a great ****ing movie.

My friends, and apparently a lot of other people, think Quantum of Solace was a big pile of shit but I liked it. Not as much as Casino Royale, but I thought it was a good flick.

As far as Bonds go, my fave was always Connery. Idk why, for sure, but I always liked his movies the best. Pierce Brosnan has the most 'Bond-ish' look to me but his movies blew balls. None of the other Bonds are even worthy of mention to me; they're all just 'meh'. Especially either Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton. I can't remember which one, but MAN! That dude is a bore!

I'd put Craig up at the top with Connery. None of the others even matter.

Nah, it was a big pile of shit.

Quantum of Solace is great if you treat it as what it actually was: the extended final act of Casino Royale.

I can't even view it as that. They rushed that one, plain and simple.

Eh, I can't really argue with that. I know that it was pretty universally panned by critics and people alike. No one I know really thinks it's above average. I probably just like it because it's a Bond film and I think James Bond is the coolest mother****er out there.

Never thought about it, but this is a great way to put it. Casino Royale's far less exciting conclusion..

I think Layer Cake got Craig the role of Bond and I couldn't be happier. Best Bond ever, IMO.
