BOND: Cunning, shrewd, funny, witty, clever, evasive, charmer of women, disengaged when necessary, not outwardly cruel, creative outwitter, fights with some honor, survives with a little finesse, will hang around for the best punch line, captures the best in Brit humor, fights with skill and athletic quickness, manages by the width of a hair to pull off the job at least by the 11th hour, because at assignment's end, he'll be rendezvousing with a woman for more than just a sunset backrub in Acupulco.
CRAIG's BOND: Edgy, angry, rough, could survive a high profile diplomatic dinner only if pre-warned, and then scripted by his boss, carries that "hunted" look, gives you the impression he survived a brief bout of Crystal Meth addiction in the early 90s, some disdain for women and/or authority, but strong taste for revenge, fights with the intensity of a cornered dog, will also get the job done by explosion or force, stalks all remaining enemies, can provide a sharp verbal barb as needed, then just wants to get the hell out of the office and go home for a drink.

Bond: Sadistic novels. Playboy.
Graig´s Bond: 21th Century. Take it or let it be. But the spirit still there, even if in a stylisised form.
Whatever anyone thinks of the particular Bonds being played, can we all at least agree that Craig is the best actor ever to play Bond?

Craig the best actor ever to play Bond? I'd say no. I like the newer movies more so because of their being less..... cheesy. But I don't find Craig to be a good actor from what I've seen of him in the Bond flicks. To me he's somewhat Keanu Reeves-ish; not really much there, sorta like a plank of wood.
"But I don't find Craig to be a good actor from what I've seen of him in the Bond flicks."
I've seen Craig in other films - Layer Cake is good and so is The Ice House - and he plays different roles well, whereas Connery always plays Connery and Moore always plays Moore.
The again, I heard George Lazenby played Hamlet once to critical acclaim.
Just kidding.

Sean was not a very good actor, I just watch FRWL on BD, but boy was he sensuous and dangerous looking, like a wild animal.
The best actor to play Bond but not the best Bond...
I agree, Connery was the best Bond and all other Bonds are judged against him.I watched an interview of the guy who picked him to be Bond, and he was saying how he wasn't convinced after meeting Connery that he was the man for the job, until he and his secretary were watching Connery from the second story window walk across the car park to his car. The secretary sighed that Connery didn't just walk - he moved like a panther.
Best Regards,
