So I know Sean Connery is one of the all time favs, I was ok with Roger Moore but if you watch his movies now they don't stand up too well, I liked Pierce Brosnan well enough but I have to say I like the Daniel Craig movies the best. I hope he stays on with the franchise.

MKSixer will probably pipe up about lots of actors have played James Bond but Sean Connery is James Bond.
I'm sure MKSixer will have plenty to say. As far as Connery is concerned, he is right at the top with Craig, but I have to give the nod to Craig.
However, I was never impressed with Timothy Dalton.

I am a fan of Craig’s and like what he’s done with the character. This is the second trailer I’ve seen and it looks to be a fitting end to his run. I feel that Connery, Craig and Brosnon have been my favorite playing Bond. I particularly enjoyed Craig and Ava Green in Casino Royole, Craig showed that he didn’t mind getting dirty playing Bond.

I have to admit that I watched GL with a child's eyes and thought he sucked. As an adult, I have more respect for his interpretation of James Bond now, more than ever.

Well done, George...well done!!

I'm good with your reasoning here, my friend!!
And I agree on Dalton. Adequate but not outstanding!!

Daniel Craig and the 'original' Aston. A nice reminder that not everything is being dismantled and diluted beyond recognition. I grew up with Connery, but Craig is a lot more true to the actual character. The rest never made enough of an impression to matter (well, I guess I still have a thing for those Lotus wedges too).

Looking forward to this. From what I've read, this will be Craig's last film as Bond. Also heard that it's supposed to tie up the story lines from the all the Craig films as bond.

HUGE Bond fan and this may upset a few of you, but....here's my list.

1. Craig
2. Connery

and 3. There are no other Bonds.

Lazenby was the only actor to play Bond only once.....aside from the yahoo's in the original Casino Royale, but that film shouldn't even count. I mean, Woody Allen??? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to have Woody Allen as a Bond villain. Still bothers me and I wasn't even born then.

I wonder if they’re testing the waters with what is presumably Craig’s last bond film to key up the next Bond here rather than having the female 00 be a mere plot point.

Rumors circulating that Tom Hardy is the next Bond candidate, though.

You get it mostly right, Grasshopper. I will allow this slight to pass.

I like Hardy but NOT for Bond.

I'd rather see Idris Elba honestly.

Too bad No Time To Die has been pushed back to next year.
