    We’re all worse off for the legal troubles surrounding ownership of the franchise that followed the release of his second outing as Bond, as the years of delays led Timothy Dalton to stand down as 007. If he had stayed on for more than two films, he would certainly receive far more recognition than he currently does. Regardless, his impact on the emotional depth of Bond, and the darker side of his character is undeniable. It’s being felt even more so now, a quarter century after his brief run, in the grittier direction Craig has taken him this past decade. For him to have left such an indelible mark on such an iconic character with just two films (though you could argue with just Licence to Kill), is a major achievement.

    So Connery in Dr No, watching again recently it is a fantastic performance that still stands up about the best thing in a great film. Connery was a movie star at this point in his career

    Wow...... astonishing that the performance in the very first film, 58 years ago, has never been bettered over a further 23 films but a well deserved win for Connery in Dr.No.

    Worthy winner.

    That's Thunderball, isn't it?!

    Dr. No is a worthy winner though, indeed! ^:)^

    The Best Bond Performance Ranking by MI6 Forum:

    01. Dr. No Winner!
    02. From Russia With Love
    03. Casino Royale
    04. Thunderball
    05. Goldfinger
    06. The Spy Who Loved Me
    07. For Your Eyes Only
    08. The Living Daylights
    09. Live and Let Die
    10. Quantum of Solace
    11. The Man With The Golden Gun
    12. Octopussy
    13. Licence To Kill
    14. Skyfall
    15. Tomorrow Never Dies
    16. Die Another Day
    17. Moonraker
    18. Goldeneye
    19. You Only Live Twice
    20. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
    21. A View To A Kill
    22. Diamonds Are Forever
    23. Spectre
    24. The World Is Not Enough

    Definitely a respected winner, but a number of surprises along the way. Shocked that Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service ranked that low. I'm also amazed that Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me nearly ranked above both Dalton performances.
