I prefer Timothy Dalton as Bond. I think he is just as hard and unemotional as the Bond of the novels, but he plays the character in a more human and relateable way than any of the other Bonds.
I'd have Brosnan and Lazenby as an equal second, because no matter what any Johnny come lately says about Daniel Craig's ability to act Bond's grief over Vesper's death, Lazenby's portrayal of the newly widowed Bond is heartbreaking and Brosnan is much more convincing in his grief over the death of Paris Carver than Daniel Craig could ever hope to be.
I despise Daniel Craig as James Bond, though I will admit that the script he was forced to work with is far below Bond standards. What's worse is that the best of the Bond novels was slaughtered for the abomination of a film.

Sean Connery's James Bond gets my vote, followed closely by Daniel Craig & Pierce Bronson

Connery is the best bond... by far... but Craig and Brosinan have made the best movies

Bond actors
While initially skeptical about Scottish Sean Connery as English James Bond (once dismissing him as an "overgrown stuntman"), Fleming so appreciated his portrayal that he added Scottish background to the novels mentioning Bond's father. Accounts vary as to Fleming's initial choice actor for the cinematic James Bond. Sources suggest he favoured Roger Moore, James Mason, and Cary Grant, among others.[citation needed] Irish-American actor Patrick McGoohan was offered and rejected the James Bond role.
Timothy Dalton originally was contracted for three films, with the third film slated for 1991, but legal ownership problems of the James Bond franchise delayed release until 1994. Presistent rumors state that Dalton's third film was going to be "The Property Of A Lady", but the story, treatment, and draft screenplays were called Goldeneye. Timothy Dalton was also considered a second choice to play Bond after Connery left the role and was asked to star as James Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", however Timothy turned the film down feeling he was too young for it and felt it would leave behind an imposing legacy.
Pierce Brosnan is the only actor who did not star in a James Bond film titled after an Ian Fleming novel and is the second actor to have not been from the United Kingdom.
In the course of the official series, American actors have been engaged to play James Bond on two occasions -- and have been approached other times as well. Adam West turned down On Her Majesty's Secret Service when Connery quit. John Gavin was contracted, in 1970, to replace George Lazenby, but Connery was well-paid to re-appear in Diamonds Are Forever. Burt Reynolds was invited, in the early 1970s, to replace Connery after Diamonds Are Forever, but he turned it down. James Brolin was contracted in 1983, to replace Roger Moore, and prepared to shoot Octopussy when the producers paid Moore to remain. Other American actors (e.g. Robert Wagner) also turned down the role. To date, the only American to play James Bond is Barry Nelson, in the "unofficial" American 1954 television adaptation of Casino Royale

I hate the old Bond movies. The whole elaborate death sequence plus easy escape routine is just stupid.
