I thought Sean Connery was great, but if I watched one now it just makes me realise how old they are.

I liked Pierce Brosnan and must admit to not being sure about Daniel Craig but grew to like them very quickly.  I think each actor has managed to put his own spin on Bond.

Shame the studios are struggling as Bond must must have the most tittles for a very good reason.

Connery is the ultimate (film) Bond, much closer to the books. Daniel Craig is going back to that era, and away from the softer, kinder Moore/Brosnan.  Additionally, going away from the less plausible gadgets that had reached the stage of the ridiculous.

I like the new Bond films, though Quantum of Solace only makes sense if you watch it straight after Casino Royale - consider it a 2 parter.
