The fact that he could take such a well known role and make it new is what makes him great. Craig is raw and not the polished Bond since he just earns 00 status in Casino Royale. Craig should stay at #2. No doubt, Connery is the best. Look at all the actors that came before Craig! The fact that he could take such a well known role and make it new is what makes him great.

While some of his later movies were weak, Golden Eye remains the single best standalone Bond film. Period. The scene where he drives the tank through the streets -- not to mention the awesome performance by Sean Bean -- or the kick ass video game for Nintendo 64 -- is enough to beat the pulp out of any contender.

And tho tho scene was changed from the book, they were both brutal nut busters. As to ratings, if you leave out Woody Allen, I can mostly go with you. I think Moore and Brosnan are a tie tho. I grew up with Moore, he was MY Bond until I saw a Connery version. I think Moore was perfect for the films he was in, but Brosnan was better than the materiel they gave him. Looking forward to Solace despite mixed reviews! I am not a fan of the ball smashing either. And tho tho scene was changed from the book, they were both brutal nut busters.

Connery and Moore had a sense of humor and knew that the movie itself was a parody of sorts. Craig just looks too serious,plus the scene with ball-smashing-torture still makes me cringe.

The parachute with the Union Jack while skiing over the edge of a cliff? The ski pole fire arms? The evil doer eating snow plow! The kilt. Lazenby gets an undeserved short shrift.

The parachute with the Union Jack while skiing over the edge of a cliff?

The ski pole fire arms?

The evil doer eating snow plow!

The kilt.

Lazenby gets an undeserved short shrift.
