@Mr1131988 No I thought it seemed like a good choice. I had seen him in Munich and Layer Cake and I thought he could pull it off

@47mrcool That's the whole point of the "new" bond movies. His creation, how he became bond. How he started, then to become that man you describe, the "older" bond.

@mboomer93 Lol that's funny. But I have to ask. Were you one of those fans who didn't like him when he was hired to play Bond? It was a controversial choice then and protesters were calling him James Bland saying he didn't have the looks. It's just strange that these days, many people seem to have changed their minds about him since he played the role so well. Now all of a sudden, it's like he's the hottest guy on the planet. Oh well he made me a believer too.

@Mr1131988 Hmm didn't know that about Dalton, that's interesting though. And I'd have to disagree with you on Dalton being more good-looking. I just watched Casino Royale with my girlfriend and kinda felt like tracking Craig down and telling him to knock it off lol.

Bond.James Bond.

@mboomer93 I loved Quantum of Solace and I think Craig is awesome and in no way am I discounting him but he's just not the 2nd best to me. Come to think of it, Connery and Brosnan were similar while Dalton and Craig were the closest thing to the books. Only, I preferred Dalton's more toned down approach. Craig's portrayal was an over-the-top version of Dalton. Dalton also was good-looking which Craig lacked (not his fault) but both guys had the charm and wit nonetheless.

@mboomer93 Dalton wasn't pulled from any of the films. MGM went through so many legal disputes after Licence to Kill that delayed the next film which was supposed to be released in 1991 and by 1994, Dalton felt too old for the part so he resigned and Brosnan was given the part he was originally offered in the 80s but couldn't take because of a TV series he was in called Remington Steele.
