I got to go Connery, but it's not going to take too many more movies for Craig to really BE Bond if is able to keep having scripts and direction like he did in Casino Royale. Not going to lie, I actually liked the Dalton movies too. License to Kill is probably in my top four Bonds.

Das: I love Statham but I don't think he would've been the right pick. I honestly think he's a little too gritty and probably not "refined" enough for a Bond role but I think he'd be AWESOME as a Bond villian, yeah?

Statham would make an AWESOME villain... he could even play Ernst Stavro Blofeld in his younger days... but he wouldn't have been suave enough to play Bond. Jude Law, Clive Owen, Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman were considered alongside Craig and Statham for the role, supposedly. Out of the six, I'd say Statham would have been the third best, behind Craig and Owen.

Connery is a god amongst men....and yes, he's the best Bond ever. From Dr. No - Thunderball...all were CLASSIC and pure Bond at his best.
Film wise Casino Royal and Craig edge out Brosnan, just for having great scripts that made sense. Poor Brosnan got shitty, boring plots, and god awful villians.
I agree also that Statham would make a good Blofeld, if they were to bring him back. That could give some great fight scenes between Craig and Statham.
I have mixed feelings about Casino Royale. It was a good movie, it just didn't fit "Bond". The whole time I was watching it, I felt like I was watching another XXX.

I voted for Connery. He is the original Bond and is the benchmark for the wit and class that Bond should have. He was like having both Hugh Hefner and Earl Flynn all in one package. Chicks loved him and dudes wanted to be him.

I think he would have been a horrible choice. Statham acting sophisticated doesn't quite work and he's already established too many rolls in other action movies.

I don't see any real similarities to Casino Royale and XXX. XXX based the entire movie off of all the X-Game sports and the simulated lifestyle that comes with it...its like watching one long Mountain Dew commercial. The only similarity to that I could think of off the top of my head in Casino Royale is the parkour chase scene with the first bomber. Outside of that, you didn't have the fashion, slang, product placement or even cheesy feel you get from movies like XXX which rely on whats cool to todays youth to sell instead of having a believable story line with first rate acting.

Sean Connery the FUCKING MAN! but He is and will always be the BEST Bond, James Bond! But I did like Daniel Craig he was badass! and I did also like Roger Moore I mean he was in The Cannonball Run mocking himself! that takes some balls.
