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
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!
Connery
Dalton
Brosnan
Moore
My list only includes real actors to have played Bond.
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
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.
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.
