Sean Connery IS Bond. Everyone else comes a poor second for me.
George Lazenby was the biggest joke. Never a Bond in a million years. Haven't seen Daniel Craig yet,but apparently he is pretty convincing.

Will no one give Woody Allen credit for his outstanding portrayal of Bond's heir, "little Jimmy Bond", in the original Casino Royale? And let us not forget Peter Sellers' performance in the same film. Best viewed under the influence of a fishbowl-sized vodka martini, garnished with peyote buttons.
OK then, if I have to restrict myself to the choices above, Sean Connery of course. Because he captured both sides of Bond, the gentleman, and the predatory killer. You could believe the Connery Bond could off some guy without a hint of remorse. Moore was a spoof and Brosnan never convincingly nailed Bond's dark side. Has anyone read the books? I've read them all (twice) and have to say, Ian Fleming rocks. I liked the Bourne movies too, but in print, Fleming kicks ass all over Ludlum. So, can anyone name the Ian Fleming classic that was made into a movie starring **** Van Dyke? (No peeking on Amazon.com).

two great films for this genre IMHO.....and well deserving of a third to complete the trilogy.......I'm a big Doug Liman fan too and the support casting, art direction and DOP in both films was immaculate...... I think Damon's two best acting perforamnces.........and i hated Good will hunting so please don't tell me you think this is a great film anyone....it's naive heavy handed crap.......grrrrrr.....Robin Wiliams makes me shudder in that film.....

Agree totally, was never a fan of Roger Moore either, I think it will be hard to top the early Bond movies due also to some of the scripting in those days before it all got a bit to pc. Goldfinger - "Run along now dear , man talk".

Jude Law wouldnt have the power for a Bond.. Too much pretty boy angle.. He has the charisma, could be the charmer, but can you imagine him knocking someone out ?? There no malevalance in him.. He doesnt appear dangerous enough.. If he stood in your way and told you not to do something you would just laugh at him and do it.. Someone mentioned Sean Bean earlier and hes a good option actually.. But hes already a known face and I can see that taking a newer less known actor has its advantages..

Yeah that was me. But as I said in the post, the reason I think he was never really considered for Bond when Brosnan got it. Was the fact that he is known in England at least, as Sharpe, from the Bernard Cromwell (I think??) books. So thats why he was the baddie in Goldeneye, as a 'we would prefer you, but you can have this instead', sort of thing! I liked the Sharpe TV series, as you were always guaranteed some booby action. The first time I saw Liz Hurlys boobs was in that.......... ah great! But then is Daniel Craig really a lesser known actor? Ok, in the USA he is and thats is what the producers are really aiming for, I guess, the American dollar. But Craig has been reletively well known in the UK for years now. I can remember him a TV series called "Our friends in the North" which was very very good. ALot of now well known English actors got there breaks in that. Then there is the Spellberg film that Craigs in too, though the title is out of my head at the moment, where he plays a kind of gun weilding hit-man too. So not that far from BOND. But then if you consider the choice before between Brosnan and Bean, Brosnan started his movie carear as a hit-man too in The long Good Friday. What does this all mean? Yes im bored have have little else to do!

#1. Sean Connery - tough, yet suave. A man's man that the ladies adore. #2. Daniel Craig - he is the only one who comes within shouting distance of Connery, because he has the tough ruthlessness, that a proper Bond needs. He has the edge and intensity that all the others except Sean lack. And he has the physique to make the stunts/fights look believeable. As you correctly point out, he lacks the million dollar smile. He reminds me ever so much of Steve McQueen. Same kind of tough guy intensity, with the killer stare that looks right through you, especially when he squints a little. But I noticed there was something missing, something McQueen had and he doesn't. That is the big relaxed smile, that works so well in juxtaposition to the mean/intense stare. All the other Bonds were just ladies' men, especially Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, and Timothy Dalton. Remember, James Bond is a killer. Those guys are country club types on a lark! I like Brosnan a lot, but as James Bond? Perhaps, if your vision of James Bond is the kinder, gentler 007. Brosnan just is not convincing as a ruthless killer. Nor the others.

If you take the view that james bond is essentially a hired assassin... apart from Sean connery none are really convincing.. i think a good ruthless bond would of been british actor Jason Statham his Transporter films showed hs potential.. but probably does not possess enough hair on his head to qualify as a womens man.

I would vote for Jude law as 007.......if he were GAY!
Cmon I know many Bg's on bangla that would pimp slap Jude and send him home crying. 1. Connery 2. Brosman somewhat distant second but he was believeable 3. probably this new guy haven't seen the film yet just have heard he has an edge. 4. Morre because he's got more chraisma then dull Dalton 5.Dalton #5 by default 6. George Lazenby......hahahahahahah

Sharpe was awesome - violence, smacking the french around and hot chicks getting their boobs out. Nothing on TV like that nowadays, they tried a few Hornblowers but Sharpe makes him look like a poof by comparison. I only wish they'd done a made-for-cinema version, it always made me laugh how they would talk about spotting a french regiment but they'd show them and it would consist of about 8 guys! Even without being in Sharpe I don't know if Bean could have done Bond because of the regional accent, he tried in Goldeneye but I thought he sounded like a nob to be honest. I'd have liked to see Jason Isaacs play Bond, he's got the sauve thing going on but looks like a hard hard bastard. Maybe if he had a bit more hair...
