Which actor was the best James Bond?

[just_me]

According to wikipedia,

From 1962 through 2006, six actors have portrayed James Bond in "official" films:

Sean Connery (1962–1967; 1971)
George Lazenby (1969)
Roger Moore (1973–1985)
Timothy Dalton (1987–1989)
Pierce Brosnan (1995–2002)
Daniel Craig (2006–present)

Which bond actor do you think was best?

My vote goes to Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce Brosnan indeed
Roger was best of course
and he also had some of the best soundtracks
Moonraker and Live and let die are top
ahh and what about Jaws..great

Sean Connery was pretty good too but the rest didnt have it imo

Timothy Dalton...yuck!

I like Connery the best I think

I can't stand any of the pre-Brosnan Bond movies! My dad owns every single one (and the Matchbox cars of every Bond car ever...). I have seen them all way too many times. Good cure for insomnia if you ask me...

yea well I thought Brosnan was rubbish but luckily I only had to endure the trailers and not a full movie
lucky escape

I know what you mean, they are much different (slower paced) than the ones made since 1990+; not to mention the advances in special effects, cgi and so forth.

yea but I think with Roger Moore and more so Sean Connery they brought something a little more to the movies than the special effects
screen presence

that's why I said Sean Connery and will vote so...but obviously judging from this thread, I am easily swayed

I have to say Sean Connery. It was a toss up between him and Pierce Brosnan though, I quite like the newer films regardless of what others say about there being too many special effects.

Daniel Craig could have done better I think, but I will wait and see for the new movies they have planned with him (think he just signed a deal for 8 more).
