In reply to Philip:
indeed, Dalton began to play bond as a bit of a hard bastard, rather than as a 70 yo man in a light blue plastic suit who takes a deadly eyebrow to the Queens enemies - Craig is better (probably the best), but Brosnan was pretty dire.
Bond was a hard, sometimes viscous killer - he was not a sophisticated lothario or a Karate-trained Inspector Morse - and he should be played as such.
