Brosnan, as said: he has the looks for Bond.
But so far his only decent movie was Goldeneye (also one of the best Bond movies imo)

it's Timothy Dalton! Connery was classic, Moore was charming, Brosnan was.. blegh... Lazenby didn't look the part and Craig... he's not as dignified-looking and he's blonde but he's a good actor... we'll see 
Connery: Kinda good at the suave quips and dealing with baddies with a bemused, this-really-isn't-hard expression, but not much real acting and not very convincing. He wasn't good enough at the action bits and so the films ended up looking a bit half-arsed and not dangerous enough.
Moore: Great at the one-liners and being really oily around women, but again not that great at the action bits. He always looked like a maitre-d who doesn't quite know how he got himself into this, but his films always had the best baddies and scary bits.
Dalton: Really good at the action and made Bond a much more dangerous and angry character. Much more convincing and could also actually fucking ACT. Not remembered as fondly as he should be purely because the films he was in happened to be shit with unmemorable baddies.
Brosnan: Die Another Day was a fantastic Bond film but the rest were quite pants. Not enough cool baddies any more - the writers always want to make them into human characters with real stories but who tf cares - but Brosnan had a good mix of wit and action (though he was more Moore than Dalton). It's not that he was a bad Bond, it's that the films apparently had to be updated to make them more modern, and so they lost a lot of what made them fascinating in the first place.
Craig: Craig as an antidote to Brosnan is pretty much like Dalton as an antidote to Moore. Casino Royale was a really good film but it felt like a totally different Bond. Absolutely nothing like Connery or Moore-era, but then again muc much more like the character from Rankin's books. Perfect for book fans, but not as 'Bondy' as he should be for film fans. He'll always divide opinion.
Imo the best Bond was Dalton. Yes, the films were shit; yes, Scots are supposed to say Connery automatically; yes, the main debate always centres around Connery vs Moore. But if you've read Bond books and THEN watched the films, it's Dalton all the way, whether he's American or not, which I think he is.
