Nah, Val Kilmer is too pretty for Bond. No one reads the books anymore, but Connery was the only one who really fit Flemming's description of Bond.

I quit going to Bond movies after Roger Moore. The new Bonds keep getting wimpier and wimpier. I'm waiting for the "bond guy" to replace the bond girl ...

Brosnan was physically weak.

I read somewhere that Fleming had Cary Grant in mind when he wrote the books.

Actually it was Timothy Dalton who's portrayal of Bond was the closest to Flemming's conception.
