Best Bond

I agree. Craig was by far the best Bond if you care about the original stories. His burden though was his greatest advantage - while he would be compared to the Bonds who went before, no one ever did it that way.

The other thing to consider is whether or not the franchise would have become what it is without Connery. I think not.

IMO, Moore, though likable enough was a joke. Not serious enough to be Fleming's Bond. Connery came close, and Brosnan was also close (but not as much).

Dalton and the others? Pfft.

Remember the opening scene of Casino Royale where M asks Bond how what's-his-name died?

"Not well..."

That scene sets the tone for Craig's Bond, and it was brilliant.

Watched “No Time to Die.” Good entertainment. Lots of gun fights that feel like video/computer games, more so than older Bond movies. Unlike the older Bond movies, there is no stupid contraption cooked up by the villain that takes way too long to kill the hero.

After they turned “M” from white woman to white man, Money Penny from white woman to black woman, this time they install a black woman as 007. Yes, it is safe to say that without spoiling the plot.

I don’t know, I thought the Invesco Laddered ETF was a pretty good Bond…

The Invesco Laddered ETF IS a Bond ETF.

An ETF may contain only bonds but an ETF is not a bond.
Maybe the follow can help you out:
A piano store may have only pianos but a piano store is not a piano.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.
