Why not just go through the previous list from only a couple of months ago? Then you can see not only peoples favourite Bond, but second, third, etc..

Daniel Craig is the actor that portrays the character of JB most accurately from the books. JB was a bit of a thug.

However the scripts that Craig is in makes it hard to vote for him.

It would be nice if someone made some JB movies that followed the books (the original books)

Had no idea that most of the movies did not mesh with the books. Still, voted for Roger M.

Craig is not a good james bond.

Yes, he is a good action hero, but he is NOT james bond. He can be a good Jason bourn, but james bond.

He simply doesn't ooze "class" that Sean Connery does. Nor does he have the classic James Bond humor. I enjoy laughing at the double entenders that simply flew over my little brother's head.

Mind you, they got many people from the colonies (Australia) to play bond, so I'm waiting for an indian james bond, or a james bond of Hong Kong.

Nobody's voted for my second-favourite Bond, Timothy Dalton?!

Grrrr...

Either I didnt click post earlier or my post got deleted. But

WHO VOTED FOR LAZENBY?

I dont like Moore, Dalton or Lazenby.

1. Connery
2. Craig
3. Brosnan

Some of you should be ashamed by your choices.

Thank God for you that:
1) I'm not a stalker
2) I'm on anti-homicide pills

I didn't think Lazenby was that bad, certainly not bad enough to get all the stick he gets. His script was bad though, and that's what didn't help.
Moore I found a bit too cheesy, but again that was the generation the films were being produced in. Brosnan was good, very good in fact, I believe I rated him at number three, and I haven't seen any Craig from start to finish so I can't really judge him.

EDIT: Oh, and I think I should leave this here, brought to my attention by Hunter:

I just finished reading You only live twice, and here are the things it has in common with the film:
Set in the same country
Same main characters

That's all!
