Hey, How Do you guys think Craig copies connery,
well he copies exactly what Connery wore in Dr.No except with a modern look. diamond-end bow tie, lond suit jacket and that tuxedo shirt.
What else does he copy of connery thats what I want to know, besides the clothes.

    Fashion tends to follow cycles and at the moment 60's style is in so Bond's wardrobe will reflect this, eg the suit worn at the end of CR was a modern take on the suit worn in GF.
    No actor would copy anothers interpretation of a role, What I think we're seeing is As Craig is Playing a more human and realistic Bond, This Mirrors what Connery did earlier in the series.So not a copy but a similar take on the role,T Dalton also played Bond as Less superman and more human.

    I see, each person brings there own thing to the role.
    I didn't take Roger Moore's movies seriously, they were more of a joke. Brosnan was too soft up to and until TWINE,
    and the actor from my country was the worst, George Lazenby.

    I agree RM stayed too long in the role and his version of Bond is far removed from the books,but i grew up watching his movies so i can't be too disloyal.
    Connery, Craig and Dalton IMHO have the best Take on the character.
    Lazenby,I have to admit I rather liked If he'd only stayed to do a couple more, He'd of improved as an actor. {[]

    ?:) DC copying SC because his suits have a similar style?

    Ok, then he's also copying TD because he drives Aston Martin and copies RM because he's also using a PPK and George Lazenby because he's also wearing a watch??

    I don't think, that any of the actors had to copy one of the previous ones. It does not make sense and noone of them had to.

    By the way, this kind of Tuxedo shirt could have also be seen with GL and PB and this diamond-end bowtie is not particular genuine SC.

    I have to say I really love the line of Craig's tux in QoS, and the lapel as well...very elegant. I believe there was a conscious effort, on Eon's part, to pay homage to the 60s Bonds, stylistically...

    But Craig is very much his own Bond, IMRO.
