Respected or loved ...... which is better ?

I got to thinking this morning, ....
Sir Roger is loved by the Bond community, and public, but he doesn't get a lot of
Respect from some for his performance as 007.
While ....
Timothy Dalton, is respected by many for his approach to playing Bond,
but there doesn't seem to be anywhere near the same level of love for him.
So given the choice, would you rather be respected ( in life in general) or if
You got to play Bond. Or Would you rather be popular with everyone thinking
You're lovely ?

Sir Rog is universally loved I would think and also respected as James Bond - he certainly is not everyone's cup of tea as Bond (especially me in his latter films) but I think he has most people's respect in that he ensured that the Bond canon remained viable over a long period of time.

Me on this subject ten years ago, ie before Craig and CR.
So please don't hold it against me.
Although I do agree with your assessment of the actors, ..... love v respect.

For what it's worth: on seeing TLD almost thirty years ago, I was thrilled to see Dalton's interpretation of James Bond. I'd entered with no preconceived ideas and was just keen to see what this new guy would do. Seeing the Fleming short story brought to life and expanded on was genuinely enthralling, and Dalton's very Flemingesque Bond was a breath of fresh air. John Barry's music was perfection itself, and seeing the man himself onscreen near the end of the movie certainly didn't hurt.
Sure, TLD isn't an ideal Bond movie- it lacks a villain of Goldfinger status, for example- but its star was NOT a problem and indeed a major asset. Dalton didn't opt to take the easy route, and his take on Bond was not to everyone's taste (Hello, Higgins) but it's certainly to mine.
Yet, despite all that, he isn't my favourite Bond....
or even my second....
so a Timboy I am not
Accept Dalton as Bond After Moore, and I said Dalton was
Bond as soon as I saw him on screen, and I loved how he
Played 007. -{

It's not an easy gig for any actor.
Well, why should I let my life turn into something Timboy sadness?
And do you mean the fact that Dalton weeps when he's angry/sad/disappointed/in love/happy/emotional/etc? :v

I'd really like to agree with you but something inside can't agree.
Maybe it's Connery's personality in real life - maybe it's his performance and appearance in DAF.
To me, there is no "best Bond actor" They all are very different - the tone of the series has changed multiple times and so have expectations of franchise owners and audiences - not to mention varying qualities of scripts/directors and so on.
Each Bond movie is something special - even DAF and the crappy Dalton ones :v and I really fail to compare or rate the main actors.
To a certain degree, I respect them all (note: not their fanbase
