Mercurius
Legend
I voted Connery, Moore, Craig, though I liked Dalton OK - I just think Craig does it better (pun intended). Brosnan was boring and too down-the-center Bond. Lazenby didn't get a chance to grow into the role, but is a clear #5, imo. Connery, Moore, and Craig all put a more quirky spin on it, in different ways.
Connery for sheer presence: the dude just held the screen and more than any other Bond, had the swagger. I grew up with Moore and loved the humor and over-confidence; the guy never seemed to break a sweat. Craig somehow managed to remake Bond and still be Bond.
I hope the new Bond does something similar, but in a different way: Be Bond, but do it in an off-center way.
