Fill in the blank: Daniel Craig is the best 007 since ___________

[The Jewnited States]

Is he better than pierce? Best since connery? What y'all think?

Sean Connery

This is really hard imo because Pierce Brosnan had the swag needed for the role (see Goldeneye) but he was in mostly bad films.

Which is what I count against him

Daniel Craig is the Best 007 until Idris Elba takes over

he's the GOAT to me but I'm a casual bond head my opinion is relatively irrelevant. He's just the most believable superhero esque spy to me based on his physique nohomo and acting. Brosnan had the swag down pat but like has already been said he was in mostly shytty films. Honestly I remember liking Timothy Dalton when I was younger and into Bond more then the classics like Connery or Moore

The thing that a lot of us younger heads don't realize is that for the 60s, Sean's portrayal was cutting edge because he was a menace. Being Bond isn't just about being suave; it's about being able to portray the ruthlessness and icy demeanor that shows this dude is dangerous and should not be fukked with. Sean lost that edge after from russia with love (I think he just got lazy and bored) but his first two movies are more in line with what Craig and Dalton would do with the role. Craig has the benefit of being in some great movies and being able to really get back to the books

Since Tom Cruise's superior films are stuck being called Mission:Impossible.

Daniel Craig is the most realistic. Don't really quite buy him as a ladies man, but his movies outside of some occasionally dumb plot twists have been the best by far.

Pierce had the swag, but I'm not really buying him wrecking bad guys left and right then saving the world. Not to mention his films became progressively disastrous.

I'm torn Casino Royale and Goldeneye are in my top three Bond flicks.

i feel like bronsan's best bond movie was his first: goldeneye. after that, everything else just got really ridiculous. i remember when i went to see "die another day" in theatres. i enjoyed the intro with him being captured in north korea but that whole ice castle, the over-the-top fencing fight with the korean man turned white man and laser from space burning up the DMZ between north and south korea was just too much for me.

Yup. Die another day jumped so many sharks. Tomorrow never dies and the world is not enough had their moments but they feel like the same movie
