RIP SEAN.
You are high.
He IS Bond.
I am not even a Bond fan but I know I would choose to watch Connery over Craig any day and I cannot stand Pierce Brosnan. If I am scrolling through movies and see that Brosnan is in it...that's a hard pass for me.
Connery was the original and the best.

Don't even get me started on that hump - Roger Moore - who was moderately entertaining in Cannonball Run - only because he let them make him look to be a moron...

I'm split on this. Connery was the better Bond, but the Craig films are better - not better 'Bond' films, just better.

If 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' had made more money, there wouldn't have been a Roger Moore as James Bond and the world would be a better place.

I have liked Craig in other things but he just doesn't say Bond to me.
There was such an attitude (with a wink) with Connery's portrayal of Bond.

That's because Connery's version knew how to have fun - even when people were shooting at him...

Bond purists (I’m not one) seem to prefer Craig for no better reason than he looks more like Bond than any of the other actors.
They should have a collective meltdown when the next one is black or female.

According to Ian Fleming, Bond looked like this:
![[Image: images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQ1GtUG7wbsDC3-ifwlx...A&usqp=CAU]](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQ1GtUG7wbsDC3-ifwlx6mMjRlQhx4IJ0M9ZA&usqp=CAU)
So they could probably get away with a gay Bond.

Didja know there has already been a transexual Bond Girl?
