I like OHMSS and Licence To Kill so much more than other bond films because it really expresses Bond so much better as Bond in a personal way, being a mortal realistic human.
Lazenby is tough to judge, since he only did one film, but he did fine in that movie.
Both Lazenby and Dalton should have done more films.
Goldeneye, although it was good for Borsnan, would have been ok for Dalton too.
It is a shame the Dalton films got cheated out of the sexuality, atleast they brought it back well with the Brosnan ones.
Brosnan, ok different from Dalton, but he was also great as James Bond, but he should have turned down Die Another Day, that was more of a spoof movie that tarnished him.
I liked Casino Royale, but I don't like how they "rebooted" the series, I always liked the clever joke of all the actors were portraying the same Bond in the same timeline, such as the OHMSS titles showing Connery movies, Moore putting flowers on Tracy's grave, and Felix in LTK mentioning Bond was married.
What I don't like about the Craig Bond also is, hardly any gadgets, Dalton had gadgets, but still made for a serious Bond.
The Bond in Casino Royale made the same mistake as Bond from OHMSS, not having his Aston Martin armoured.
Quantum of Solace is the most forgettable Bond film, sloppy story and crappy Cloverfield camera "work", not to mention the awful title song.
Ok, Die Antoher Day was bad, but atleast the story could be followed and made for a funny spoof.
I like Craig, but he may have been miscast, he looks, well, Russian, would be better cast as a KGB/FSB/SVR agent.
