For me as a young man Pierce Brosnan was my Bond. Now I know most people who have been around the block awhile will say Connery. So who is the best Bond ever? Please rank them in the order in which you think.

Here's mine-

1. Pierce Brosnan

2. Sean Connery

3. Daniel Craig

4. Roger Moore

5. Timothy Dalten

6. George Lazzenby

I have to give the nod to Connery
But I rate Roger Moore quite highly, and though his
material was a little more contrived. I believe he was an excellent actor and funnier than Sean.

I grew up watching Roger Moore in The Saint when it was in syndication here. So he was always my favorite. Connery seems to be who most people think of when they think of Bond. But I liked Pierce Brosnan very much in the role too.

1. Roger Moore

2. Sean Connery

3. Pierce Brosnan

4. Daniel Craig

5. Timothy Dalton

6. George Lazenby (I don't remember him)

I am an avid reader of Fleming, so to me the best Bond is that closest to his writings:

1) George Lazenby-the best Bond in the best Bond film

2) Connery-a very, very close second. A pity he was scripted in Bonds which should never have happened (Diamonds are Forever, and the film with Basinger)

3)Brosnan a near tie for second. A bit wimpy for Bond, but he was scripted well, and as good an actor as Connery

4)Dalton was really not bad, but the films in which he starred were second rate.

The rest:

Craig is a step in the right direction. Have only seen Casino Royale. He deserves a better script than this.

Moore was a joke...

The rest I have not seen.

Sean Connery, absolutely no doubt about it.

Daniel Craig comes in second, I like his intense style.

Bond should always be a soldier & fighter first, constantly on edge & alert. Plus both Connery & Craig have the same kind of charm.

I thought Moore was terrible - utterly unconvincing as a fighter/specialist, and corny rather than cool.

Brosnan was too pretty & suave - like he went to law school first, then secret agent school.

Personally I think the Roger Moore bonds were the best, but he was not necessarily the best bond.. I can't decide who was.. I'm very unsure on Daniel craig though.. I watched Munich with him in last night, he is too one dimensional and he was meant to be an israeli assasin but his accent was south african lol!

It is simple. The first set the template.

Sean Connery was the most believable Bond until Daniel Craig came along.

That said, the humour of Moore was great.

Pierce Brosnan is a better actor than the scripts he was given but that said, he took the role and isn't as good as it was written as Craig or Moore.

Lazenby? I vaguely remember the movie, and thought it was ok...but really, I cant say I remember that much about his acting, so that is proof right there he likely wasn't much.

Dalton is the worst. Miserable man gave a miserable performance....

Daniel Craig is the best actor of the bunch. Unfortunately all the Bond films he's been in have been complete bilge.

I think Connery could equal him the acting part. Anyone who has seen some of Sean's less commericial work would realize he could act.

I like Craig though, and I liked Casino Royale. I think the opening chase sequence in that movie was one of the best I have seen done in ages, BUT I don't think the scripts have been as good as they could have been. The thing is, we all expect different things from a Bond movie. I do think Craig's Bond is much darker and brooding, and that hurts him....

You must read the book the really understand how originally the Bond character was.. (remember Casino Royale was the first book of the series)
