but I agree with you... not a great actor. Good, not great. His voice was great.. WHEN the accent fit the role that is.
Truth is - I don't think I saw any of the other Bond's in more than two films... just off the top of my head I can't think of seeing the others in more than one.
I did NOT like Brosnan in the role. No matter the emotion being acted he can't wipe that smirk off his face.
I deserve to be castigated for this but I didn't even see all of the Bond movies starring Connery.
As for Connery - it was more than just Connery for me... it was that 60's aura, 60's Europe, that appealed to me.
