I would say Pierce Brosnan was the most ideal Bond. I think he had the best mixture of class and toughness. Plus he was in Goldeneye, which I think is without question the best Bond movie.

Brosnan for classic Bond, but I like Craig for the new, younger take on Bond.
I have to say Pierce Brosnan, but simply because I grew up with Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is not Enough and Die Another Day. But I generally don't like James Bond at all.
My favorite JB is Pierce Brosnan. Reason for that is because he is the only one who could bring forth JB's humorous side properly, I don't like Daniel craig as bond because he looks like he is constantly pissed off and only time he really smiles is in Casino Royale when Le Chiffre was hitting his balls with the rope, Jb is NOT a Sado masochist.
Pierce portraid JB's pain perfectly when Elektra King had him in that neck breaking chair in World is Not Enough.
For me it's Connery, but I guess I'm kind of biased since he's one of my all time favorite actors
Timothy Dalton. No other Bond was able to pull off the charismatic, professional killer role like he did and therefore he fits perfectly into Ian Fleming's vision of Bond.
Craig misses that Bond humor imo. Meine vote goes fuer Roger Moore.

Sean Connery by far! :3
You can't top the original, naturally Connery will easily be the one most mentioned, seconded by the most recent actors. I personally think Dalton should be heads on with Brosnan for place 3, but I understand that his Bond is not easy to like for many.
And to those who actually voted for Moore, please, pretty please take the day off tomorrow and watch all Moore Bonds in a row without break. If you still can stand all this exquisite nonsense you may keep your vote.

This, only I voted for Connery because, to me, he is and will always be Bond. Not for any specific reason other than I thought he was the most charismatic and was the first Bond I ever saw. It's close between Connery, Brosnan and Moore and I did like Dalton and Lazenby though they gave it a different twist.
I have to say that in the more modern films I really really liked Brosnan, I can remember people complaining about him being cast as Bond but he's incredibly good, can't think of anyone better suited for the job. The only reason I would go for Connery (or Moore) is because those are the original films and have that vintage bond feel to them. Always was disappointed that they stopped using Brosnan in the newer films, I mean yeah he's getting on a bit but I bet he'd still nail it.
This is obviously a pretty personal choice, and I could pick a "best Bond" on a technical level had I read the books but I haven't. For me Bond was shaped by the films so it's only natural to choose/prefer the actors that actually shaped him in the first place.
Having mainly started watching the Bonds with Brosnan, I'd have to go with him. Connery is always good though.
Currently I'm not a fan of Craig as Bond, but as others have stated they seem to be building him up to becoming the 007 we recognise. It probably doesn't help that the latest Bond movies aren't really capturing the essence of Bond for me. The lack of one liners, the charm, the confidence and above all the gadgerts. GPS locator? Come on!
I haven't watched Sky Fall yet but I loved all the movies with Pierce Brosnan, so were fairly good for my taste.
Sean Connery but followed by Brosnan and Craig. I like the rough-eged, IDGAF attitude Craig has.
Pierce Brosnan purely because of Nostalgia. He was the Bond I grew up with and hence the Bond that stuck in my mind the most.
Although that said I'm not really a Bond fan, I enjoy the movies as long as they are 'Good', but I don't really care whether I see one or not.

Daniel Craig is pretty close, but it's kinda hard to beat Sean Connery. The guy was picked out by Flemming himself! Hell he even fudged Bonds background to make him 1/2 scottish, how can anyone beat that

Sean Connery and Roger Moore, to me, are pretty close. I do like Daniel Craig though, he is much better than any of the other 007's outside of Connery/Moore.
how is this even a debate -_- Sean Connery IS James Bond just like Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark. Danny Craig comes in close 2nd!
