My wife and I both liked Craig's performance better than every other Bond except Connery's interpretation. In fact, Daniel Craig probably comes closest to the Bond character as envisioned by Ian Fleming in the novels (basically a killing machine; tough as nails and not especially romantic except in service to the task at hand). In a sense, Sean Connery's Bond was the perfect film Bond because he conveyed both the strength and physicality, as now re-envisioned in Craig's Bond, but Connery had a suave sophistication that never seemed brutish until pushed to extremes. Maybe it's just me, but Craig seemed edgier, more detached than Connery and therefor dangerously unpredictable (sort of like a Rottweiler, trained to kill without giving it a second thought & borderline psychotic).If ranked, I'd list them this way:
1. Connery
2. Craig
3. Brosnan
4. Dalton
5. Lazenby
6. Moore
7. Sellars (hee, hee; had to throw that one in for grins based the first Casino Royale)Cheers,
