Someone (of course I don’t remember who) once said of Sean Connery and Roger Moore as James Bond:

“Sean Connery is dangerous, therefore he is romantic; Roger Moore is romantic, therefore he is boring.”

Wish it were me who said that.

I love them all for various reasons. But, Daniel Craig is my fav. I love how his version is gritty and suave all at the same time. I also like that the sex side is played down. He can have a love interest but it doesn’t define his character or revolve around it as much as it did with the Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan versions.

But as I said I still love them all. I’m very interested to see how this new Bond search goes. There have been rumors for a while. :wink:
