Agree.. this has been the case for a long time... Naomie Harris is much better than these so called "Bond girls" spectre / skyfall

Hmm ..Not sure about him being a "Physical / Old wreck". I think he's the most well built amongst other Bonds :)

I disagree with you completely on Timothy Dalton - he is the only actor, who read IF's books, internalizing the Bond character - kind of method acting - and combined that with his vast experience in theater - and portrayed the sensitivity of Bond, which am afraid, even Sean Connery rarely displayed onscreen - watch particularly from 1:10 onwards here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSyk0jmBx6s
"I owe it to Leiter" - Dalton does with sensitivity - deeply hurt by his friend's death/murder - at 1:59, he responds to his boss's intructions with a pause, looking at him in the eye, draws a breath and says "then you have my resignation sir" - pain, hurt and anger all in that voice and face - yet - his wry sense of humor comes out with a smile "Then I guess its a farewell to arms" - before making good his escape - class acting.
Daniel Craig - in Casino Royale, a young Bond, with all his sensitivity intact - when he learns of his girlfriend's betrayal - and later his guilt to learn of her possible innocence - all turning into seething anger at himself - leading to him becoming the ruthless Bond - class act.
Lazensby "OHMSS" was one of the best Bond films - critically acclaimed.
Roger Moore's Bond became a parody - not RM's fault - thats the way the production house went about with Bond films - from what I have read, they had to resort to some very silly things to compete with the rising stars George Lucas, Steven Spielberg et al..
Reg. Timothy Dalton, I was just going by his appearance and not his act or preparation and thats what I mention .. He looks like a nice guy and friendly as compared with SC which I dont expect a 007 to be just a 007 being a fitness enthusiast. I'm not disputing you on his theater experience or his methodical acting.
Unfortunately Sean Connery set a yard stick on James Bond both in terms of looks and character portrayal of IF which is deeply etched in the psyche of people .. with his Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Diamonds are Forever, Thunder Ball and so forth. When RM came on board, most of that gen audience thought the original Bond is gone and didn't think of RM seriously enough. George Lazenby was fine but brief ... and didnt stay long enough to set an impression.
In 70s' Clint Eastwood was also in the consideration to play bond character...
