Passing the mantle...
I have to say without revealing my age ;-) that Sean Connery was undoubtbly the best James Bond of the genre. But the best successor to this venerable role has to go to Pierce Brosnan. Not to take anything away from Roger Moore whom remarkably made a total of 7 Bond movies, one more the Sean himself.
However I honestly believe that both Sean and Pierce bring that certain level vitality to the role that Moore and the others were just slightly off key.
But one of the best measures that I've applied has been the line "My Name Is Bond, James Bond", Sean really brought the best out of that line, and when I first heard Pierce utter those very words I couldn't help but take notice and exclaim folks we have a new JB.
