^ Every one of those criticisms is true...and he's still the best Bond.
The video guy's ranking of Bond actors is pretty bad, imo. Anybody picking George Lazenby at #1 is just being a contrarian.
My Bond Actor Rankings:
01: Connery (Charisma of a movie star)
02: Brosnan (A mix of both Connery and Moore and handsome enough to make the ladykiller thing believable)
03: Moore (Likeability of a tv star)
04: Dalton (TLD vers. not LTK vers.)
05: Craig (Kind of wooden. Scowling isn't a replacement for a personality or charisma)
06: Lazenby

Bond MILFs:
01 Monica Belluci as "Lucia Sciarra" (10 or 20 years younger and she would have been at the top of my list of Bond girls.
