(33,688 posts)He seemed the closest to Fleming's Bond in the books: tough, somewhat conflicted but calm when the chips were down. Good-looking but not a pretty-boy. I feel much the same way about Daniel Craig as Bond.
Connery was the classic, but Moore was just not James Bond. Brosnan was fine, though not exceptional. Would have liked to have seen more of Lazenby.

(2,935 posts)The series had already been set on a course of comic-book stupidity with You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever, and the impish Moore proved a far better sport than the bored Sean Connery. He's the Adam West of of the James Bond franchise, keeping the it afloat until the showrunners were smart enough to change the tone with Dalton and Craig.
My ranking:
Early Connery
Craig
Dalton (Very Fleming-esque; brooding and romantic)
Lazenby (Underrated; his inexperience adds a wonderful vulnerability)
Brosnan (Never got a decent script; watch The Matador and The Tailor of Panama for his potential)
Moore

Adore Roger Moore and loved his Bonds but they were charicaures...Sean grew on me...
