I have to say, that I personally like Connery as Bond the best. However, Craig plays bond more like the way he is described in the books. He may tend to play the reckless part of the character a bit hard, but is otherwise pretty accurate. Other than the showering thing. In the books, Bond showers like 10 times per day. It is almost amazing that he got anything else done.

Awesome point.
Bond was a human chameleon...not a peacock like it was portrayed in the movies. His ability to be "everyman" was his gift. He was able to meld into whatever situation he found himself in...very hard to do that with a white tuxedo carrying around a martini in one hand and a laser carrying Rolex with the other!
All in all Connery will be best rememberd for James Bond. Craig is doing a stellar job breathing new life into a character that had become a joke.
I'll still watch the movies, doesn't matter who plays the lead role...some are just more memorable viewing more than 2 times!
