James Bond was Sean Connery. Roger Moore, maybe. But nobody after that.

Craig is actually my favorite by a tiny sliver over Connery. There is a darkness, an edge to the character that both embody but I think Craig pulled off the opening of Casino Royale even better than Connery at his finest (The Molly Maguires forex). Both can pretend to be suave but the iron fist is barely covered by the tuxedo, much less a velvet glove.

Moore was fun. And that’s his weakness as Bond. I enjoyed those movies - I will always love Moore’s Moonraker -but none of them are in the same ballpark as the Craig “Bond Origin Trilogy”. He remain’s The Saint. Not Bond. When played right Bond is a very different creature from The Saint and it’s good to have both in the world.
