Personally I liked Tim Dalton.
He showed a new vunerable side in 'Licence to Kill' which was lacking in the other films.
Sean was brill and Mr Brosnon has done a good job but the effects have become the star of the movies. If rumours are true the next one should be interesting but it is all still rumours! Is it Brosnon or a new actor? Will it be Tarentino directing? Is it the original Casino Royal? We will have to wait and see!
Well for me it has to be Connery, but one of my favorite Bond Film's is OHMSS. Shame George Lazemby didn't stay on as I think he would have become more accepted as Bond, I'm sure. Timothy Dalton gave it his all and was a good Bond, although he was hindered by the PC awareness of the producers, effectively playing down Bond's sexuality. Brosnan is an excellent Bond, though I think he doesn't deliver the jokes as naturally as Connery (that's because the jokes in the early films were Connery's ad libs rather than scripted).
The next film will be Casino Royale and will be directed by Martin Campbell, who directed Goldeneye, Brosnan's first film of the series. Casino Royale was Fleming's first Bond novel and apparently the film is going to portray Bond asjust joining the 00 section! Not sure how they will manage to do that as it's not going to be a period piece set in the 50's. Looks like they want to introduce a new face to the audience, but they are having problems finding a suitable replacement. Latest news is they are considering asking Brosnan to come back! It's all up in the air at the moment, yet pre-production is underway and the release ofCasino Royale is scheduled for release in 2006.
