I find him less appealing in SP and far better in the previous three. The overly-flippant style doesn't suit him.
Example: "you've got to be kidding me" when the machine guns don't work on the Aston.
Craig's Bond would just say "shit!" or something a bit ruder - if he said anything at all.
The more you watch CR the more you notice just how bloody good Craig is in the film.
Bond 25 needs to attain to CR's level to get the best out of Craig.
He plays a more rounded character in the first three films and they (largely) play to his strengths.
Incidentally, thought more about the list.
6. Roger Moore - FYEO/OP
7. Sean Connery - TB
8. Daniel Craig - Quantum of Solace
9. Sean Connery - Dr No
10. Pierce Brosnan - GoldenEye
A good list, but Dalton in TLD deserves a spot. One of my favourite Bond performances of all the films.
Excellent choices.
Moore is my favourite Bond, but my all time favourite Bond performance is in Thunderball.
He really had the character nailed down, and he was swaggering around like he owned the world in this.
Other notable performances: Any Connery from Dr.No- TB
Moore in TSWLM, FYEO and AVTAK.
Broz in TWINE and DAD
Craig in Casino Royale.
Craig's also pretty incredible in CR (the only portrayal I would intersperse the top 4 Connery portrayals with). That's for the human Bond. QoS and SF also very good.
1. Sean Connery - TB
2. Daniel Craig - CR
3. Sean Connery - FRWL
4. Sean Connery - DN
5. Sean Connery - GF
6. Daniel Craig - SF
7. Roger Moore - TSWLM
8. Roger Moore - FYEO
9. Daniel Craig - QoS
10. Pierce Brosnan - GE
Honourable mentions: Timothy Dalton - TLD, Roger Moore - OP, Roger Moore - MR
I'm the same. People who don't like the film are oxygen thieves as far as I'm concerned ;)
I really like Connery's TB turn as well (my #2). I put it just below FRWL, where I think he's icy cool perfection.
Must do a new ranking soon.
It's good to see this thread getting some activity.
1. Sean Connery - FRWL
2. Sean Connery - TB
3. Daniel Craig - CR
4. Sean Connery - DN
5. Timothy Dalton - TLD
I think Craig in QOS is up there too and Moore in TSWLM and LALD.
Perhaps controversial for some, but for me it's quite logical:

3. George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service
4. Sean Connery in Dr. No
5. Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye
6. Timothy Dalton in Licence to Kill
7. Sean Connery in Thunderball
8. Roger Moore in The Man with the Golden Gun
9. Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace

21. Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only
22. Roger Moore in Moonraker
23. Roger Moore in Octopussy
24. Sean Connery in Diamonds Are Forever

His dialogue with Zorin is a highlight for me ,Walken and Roger bounce off eachother well.
How do you rank Dalton's performances @barryt007?
