Date: January 8th, 2026 1:53 PM Author: olive glittery library philosopher-king Pierce Brosnan- best combination of look, acting, physicality. His first two films are top tier. the last two are subpar.
Sean Connery - good look and physicality. First mover advantage
Daniel Craig - great actor, bad look. better scripts/production than pierce ever had.
Roger Moore - bad look, bad actor, bad physicality, but high on charisma. He is the first bond I knew of so his movies bring a nostalgia.
Tim Dalton - good look, zero charisma. Despite what people say he was not closer to "book bond". in the books bond is never this boring.
George Lazendby - brought looks but nothing else. had one of the best scripts to work with in OHMSS |
|
Date: January 8th, 2026 1:59 PM Author: free-loading depressive CR point about OHMSS, it is definitely one of the most well-written Bond films and closest to elevating itself above throwaway escapism.
Brosnan was fine but he's Irish ffs, not even British. |

craig is the inverse of this. |
|
Date: January 8th, 2026 2:09 PM Author: free-loading depressive Bond is basically a mythic archetype, he's like Batman or something, always open to interpretation because he doesn't age or die. Fleming was a cheeky drunk and knew he was writing pulp and had no grander ambitions. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5819144&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310481#49572638) |

Date: January 9th, 2026 10:56 PM Author: Drunken Internal Respiration This is a good summary
Craig really is the worst looking out of them

Date: January 10th, 2026 4:59 PM Author: aromatic spot You've got to either be a bad-ass (Connery, Craig), or a funnyman (Moore).
Brosnan tried to do both and it didn't come off for me. |
|
Date: January 8th, 2026 3:20 PM Author: avocado therapy pozpig While Dalton isn't the best, he's got a great look and The Living Daylights is a great movie. I think he was almost going to be Bond for a third movie, but it got scrapped for studio rights reasons or some BS. Too bad.
Casino Royale might be the best of the films, but I agree that Craig's look is never going to make him the top guy. Too jacked and a couple inches too short. |

Date: January 9th, 2026 9:58 AM Author: Razzle police squad Due to his short stature, Craig's strikes lack leverage and power and don't do sufficient damage to his opponents. So any time he gets in a fight it goes on for like 2 minutes and he has to rely on grit and conditioning to squeak out a win.

Date: January 10th, 2026 1:30 AM Author: Fishy Pontificating Kitchen #1 Connery - the original. biggest and toughest. best look. made some top tier films like Goldfinger.
#2 Brosnan - good look. well acted. Goldeneye a strong contender for best Bond film. but so many cheesy shit scripts and a ton of bad 90s action.
#3 Lazenby - good look. not a great actor. but his single film was a very well written one.
#4 Moore - bad look. slimy bisexual rapist vibe. a few good films, but several boring or just shit ones. (Octopussy?)
#5 Craig - terrible look, more cab driver than suave British spy. benefitted from some well plotted films. on the other hand half the dialog was shitty self-help drama and moaning about his love life (presumably to "modernize" it and attract fags and chicks)
#6 Dalton - just fucking dull.
Barry Niven & Barry Nelson - can't even remember what they were like, I watched them so long ago.
