    Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever followed by Sean Connery.

    Craig. I actually quite liked Brosnan, but... just no contest (for me I mean, obviously).

    Craig, obviously.

    I don't hate or even dislike Brosnan, but between the two I prefer Craig.

    Daniel Craig for me. Love Brosnan, but when it comes down to it, I'd just rather watch Craig's films. And isn't that what it's all about? :P

    Daniel Craig for me and it's not even close. Pierce Brosnan is a very handsome man, and looks bloody good all the time, but Daniel Craig is James Bond to me. He's believable as Bond to me.

    Pierce Brosnan turned me off Bond, I went to see all his films at the cinema but never with any excitement or expectation apart from GE and it left me deflated, I just don't buy him as 007, worst Bond in my book sorry!

    Craig got me back into Bond big time and I've been loving his time in the role, he's going to a tough act to follow. Can't wait to see him in Spectre, SF is for me his best performance to date in the role and tying with Connery (FRWL) for all time performance of the series.

    Easily Craig

    I've always thought, if Bond was real and actually had to do stuff like save the world on the daily, Daniel Craig is the guy you'd want him to be :P

    OMG. We're talking about the equivalent of an adult graphic novel. You want any level of realism at all watch The Constant Gardner.

    I understand, I was just light-heartedly saying that if James Bond's missions were really real, Daniel Craig would be the guy you'd want handling them. Sorry if I offended!

    I judge it on film for film. CR better than GE. TND slightly better than QOS (close call). SF better than TWINE. And I think SP is going to be a lot better than DAD which shouldn't be difficult. Daniel for me folks.

    After thinking long and hard, I have to give this to Craig.

    Brosnan, by far. Craig turned me off from the series.

    Daniel Craig by a country mile as I don't even consider Brosnan convinced me he was Bond at any time in the role.

    I was more convinced by Lazenby and prefer his performance over greatest hits smarmy Trans Atlantic Bond.

    Since Skyfall my ranking would be

    1. Daniel Craig
    2. Sean Connery
    3. Timothy Dalton
    4. George Lazenby
    5. Roger Moore
    6. Pierce Brosnan

    My rankings post SF

    1. Sean on pedestal

    2. Laz on lower pedestal.

    The others.

    3. Broz
    4. Rog
    5. Dalts
    6. Blue snuggers/old dog

    There is hope for #6 to push up to maybe #3, possibly #2, if he can find his 007 mojo for a whole movie.

    #1 towers above mere mortals.

    Good list (even though I like Craig :P); I definitely approve of the love for Lazenby. Personally I'd put Dalton above Rog as well, though.

    Having said that, I watched Octopussy last night and the Bond and Khan performances were both awesome, I thought.

    Brosnan's casting had nothing to do with talent but rather looking like the clichéd image of what B people's expectations were. That said, Brosnan was a good Bond; serviceable and that's what the general audience needed....at the time.

    However, Craig like Connery IS Bond. Craig embodies the character in a captivating way that just doesn't even make it a fair nor sensible contest between he and Brosnan. Craig is just magnificent and has ushered credibility back into the series. Just look at the cast and crew from CR to SPECTRE.
