I’ve watched at least one movie of every portrayal of Bond and I think Craig’s was the most interesting. Obviously each actor had their own major influences on Fleming’s fictional character, so to me what made Craig’s stand out was the actor’s visible disdain for the character in his performances. He was quoted saying after the fourth or so movie, “I would rather slit my wrists than play Bond again” as he found the actual role to be rather distasteful. But believe it or not I actually think this adds an unintentional and very nuanced “finish” over the crafted performance that Craig gave. It feels more realistic, and complex as government assassin and general disdain go pretty well together. Contrast this to say, a more light hearted performance made by Moore, which really just serves to make Bond look even more like the psychopath that the character inherently probably actually is. But Craig’s general dislike for the role coupled with the understanding of the prestige of it just makes for this unique, complex show like catching lightning in a bottle
