For me, I loved Connery because - well, I love Sean Connery as an actor. Always have. But for me, I was always waiting for Brosnan to become Bond. After Moore, I thought Brosnan was going to be the next as he was always James Bond - just renamed to Remington Steele.
So I was pretty put out when Dalton got the role. Not that I don't like him as an actor. He's actually a fantastic actor, but wasn't the Bond I wanted.
Ironically, when I finally got my wish with Brosnan, I didn't actually like the movies that much.
As for Craig, I haven't watched those. I will one day I'm sure and Craig is also a really good actor, but - well - I don't know, one day I guess.
Meanwhile, I purchased every Fleming ebook recently when they were $1.99 each and this year I'll read Casino Royale. I have only read one Bond book by Fleming and one by Gardner. So it will be interesting working out whether Fleming really is just a hack as I've heard mentioned before.
