The trouble with Daniel Craig is he is good, and being good, he is not Bond.
Dalton also bordered on being too good to be bond.
A certain seedy self-indulgence and low rent, in-joke, smarminess is implied in “Ian Fleming’s………”
In this way, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore, and Sean Connery were all naturally bad, and being bad, were good Bonds.
(Bold mine)
That’s Moore’s doing. As far as faithfulness to the original stories, Craig is the most Bond-like Bond to date.
