I have enjoyed Daniel Craig’s Bond role. Despite his personal lifestyle preferences, his portrayal of Bond has been closer to the Ian Fleming character than any other Bond actor, except possibly George Lazenby, who wasn’t even an actor really. Connery was always the original Bond for those who never read the books, but even his portrayal was not as dark as Ian Flemings intent. Connery was cool, but not so cold. Craig plays a cold character, matching Flemings 007 character.
I hope that while the new movie may feature a stunt involving an electric car, it does not detract from what the franchise has done to rebuild 007 since the campy days of Moore, Brosnan, etc.
Actually Desmond Llewelyn who played Q said in a interview that Timothy Dalton was the closest to what Flemming has in mind for Bond, of course he never saw saw or worked with Craig.
He also said he liked George Lanzenby, and that while he wasn’t a real actor he was good in the role and got some very bad advice which is why he was only in one picture.
