Best Bond - George Lazenby closest to Fleming Novel character

Oh PUHLEEEEZ! Are you kidding me? There is a reason that Lazenby only did one bond film and even Timothy Dalton did two: Lazenby was awful. A cardboard cutout of Daniel Craig can emote better than Lazenby.

Having read a few of the Fleming novels and short stories, I would say that Dalton was much closer to the Fleming character than Lazenby, while Daniel Craig flat nails it.

Connery set the standard for Bond actors; none of the other Bond actors met that standard until Craig surpassed it.

I saw it at the theater. It was AWFUL! It was so-bad that when it was shown on TV the first time, they broke it into two parts, shown over two weeks, and started it in the middle where Bond escapes the castle on skis, then to the auto race in which a car flips and skids, the driver looks at the upright car with Bond in it, then after that comes a voiceover...”Now how did I get into something like this..”? Then the movie reverted to the main titles.
