Interesting how they said he was too dark and brooding to be Bond at the time. Now they love the dark and brooding Daniel Craig as Bond. Guess he was ahead of his time. He should get more respect for his Bond portrayal.

The worst Bond. It's not even close.

Dalton became Bond when AIDs was at it height. There was a lot of discussion that Bond could no longer hop in to bed with half the cast so they had no choice but to take the character in a different direction. Also the whole formula was a bit tired and out of fashion. Personally I always though Dalton was OK but unlucky with his timing.
