I think most people would say Connery, as their first exposure to the Bond character was the movies with him as lead. I'd read the books before I saw the movies and I thought that Connery came up with exactly what was needed for the films, but this wasn't the Bond I knew from the books. My personaly favorite is Dalton as his take on the character was closer to what Fleming had written. However, I hear the new guy takes it in this direction although I've yet to see the film.

I also think Moore takes an unfair hit because he took over the role at a time when the scripts became mors cartoonish and lame; he did an outstanding job with the task and material he was given.

Other outstanding acting jobs: Michael Keaton as Batman, and Chris Reeve as Clark Kent, a much more difficult character to pull off than Superman.

I voted Sean Connery for all the reasons that have already been stated. That said you really should add Daniel Craig (the new guy). I was enormously impressed with his style in Casino royale and very much liked his interpretation of the newly appointed 'double-0'. It was interesting to see his move to the dark before the more light and ironic humor of 'later' stories that preceded this first outing for Bond.

Very much looking forward to his next outing.

Connery is the best but the new guy is really pretty good. After only one movie I'd have to put him second. Given time who knows.....

It's hard to fairly judge the 'best' Bond. Everyone is "compared to Sean Connery." I rank them in descending order.

Sean Connery - not best because he's best, best because he's first...and he's Sean Connery.
Timothy Dalton- Dark, psycho, twisted. just like that sort of person would be.
Daniel Craig-Honors for reinventing the role. blending dark/psycho with tendencies toward good and being the most physical Bond ever.
Pierce Brosnan- Reminton Steele adapted to movies.
George Lazenby - The dumbest man in the world.
Roger Moore - worse than the dumbest man in the world.

And that`s RIGHT !!...the new guy is like Jason Bourne..has Absolutely NOTHING to do with the "BOND character"..I`ve read the books too,and Connery came as close as can be,put his mark,that`s it and that`s that,Dalton comes a close second....and I still vote for Arthur as the sexy barmaiden :)
