Judging by the absurdly nitpicky nature of the corrections made to The New York Times' retrospective on James Bond creator Ian Fleming – "… the article misstated the size of the large naval guns outside the museum. They are 15-inch guns, not 18-inch guns." – it's clear that people are a little nuts about Fleming's fake secret agent. Are we nuts; because we just don't get it. How has a series so overtly misogynistic maintained its cultural relevance throughout the decades?
Because our only goal in life is to right wrongs, today, we've decided to turn the tables and subject James Bond to the same piece-of-meat treatment he so often inflicts on his lady friends. Tell us, in your opinion, whose the second handsomest Bond? (Obviously, Sean Connery is the handsomest, so we didn't even include him.) We say it's Timothy Dalton, but we could be wrong. Anyone willing to say George Lazenby beats out Roger Moore? Anyone not think Connery is the clear victor?

My votes goes to Timothy Dalton
"Who's", not whose!
Sean Connery is not good looking.
Sean Connery has stated in TWO different interviews that it's okay to hit a woman if she gets out of line!!! I boycott all movies with that misogynist.
That's "Sir" Sean Connery Cord, you commoner.
Also, what Kitchy said.
Sean Connery was good looking in Dr No and Goldfinger, not so much in Diamonds are Forever. I pick Daniel Craig as the hottest - at least he had the guts to rock the speedo, and rather well.
pierce !!!!!
Pierce. He only got better looking after Remington Steele. I think I'd also move him to #1, seeming that Connery's sort of a prick, and that always takes away some hotness.
I think Pierce Brosnan is the best looking bond:
1 Pierce Brosnan
2. George Lazenby
3. Daniel Craig
4. Timothy Dalton
5. Roger Moore
10. Sean Connery
Pierce - totally agree with Kikster - he has aged quite well.
Pierce is pretty hot. As is Craig. As is Dalton.
def. Pierce. Daniel Craig would get my vote if the camera never went above his shoulders…
where did we get this assumption that Sean Connery is the best looking? Pierce Bronson is the hands down best looking of all.
pierce.
The James Bond series is a broad allegory on how Englad still views itself, as though it still has an Empire and all it's moves in the world are essential and respected. Hence it's popularity in my homeland.
Otherwise I dunno. I guess people like watching guns, fast cars, guns, smirking, fast women, stuff being blown up etc.
If I can't have Connery then my money's on Mr Craig first, as to me he's the most genuinely charismatic. Then Brosnan, then Dalton (he was Bond when I first started watching them as a child). Then Lazenby I guess. But never Moore. Never Roger Moore.
Whoa. I feel uneasy choosing the one I think is best-looking… it seems warped to do so.
It's not like Bond movies made men look really powerful either. (Treating women poorly is weak… but I'm not even talking about that.) For women it's "we don't have brains, but we have boobs" and for the men it was "we don't have brains, but we have guns."
Well, I haven't seen any James Bond movies since I was seven and emulating everything my brothers did. So I based my opinion on films like Sin City, instead. Which was foolish because…
"Throughout the film James Bond successfully defeats each woman that he comes in contact with, revealing himself as an anti-feminist character who is concerned with placing women back into a role of submission."
My bad.
radiobleep you are 100% correct that Connery is a mysoginist.
I also think he's the ugliest James Bond. He was always sweating, but that could be because he's super hairy.
When I saw my first James Bond movie, it was with Roger Moore. I thought he was the handsomest man ever. Looking back, he was probably the cheesiest James Bond ever.
I hated Timothy Dalton as Bond, but he is pretty, and I have a thing for butt-chins! Daniel Craig is sexy and has a fierce body, but since, traditionally, Bond has never been blond/blue-eyed, I will go with TD here.
Roger Moore - hands down.
Until last year I would have said Roger Moore… but Daniel Craig gets my vote now, hands down. That man makes me weak in the knees. Drool.
Sean Connery amuses me but is not sexy. I don't really find any Bonds very good looking. Daniel Craig is probably the sexiest of them. I do not like cleft chin.
Pierce tops the list.
Daniel's at the bottom but he's kinda hot-ugly
Sir Sean is Bond.. the others are like whimpy substitutes.
What's with all this "hands down" stuff? Anyone wonder what that really means? Why don't we start using different body parts? I think Daniel Craig is the most handsome, clavicles down.
Pierce, legs up.
Moore is first, Brosnan second. Connery is not a handsome man.
Connery number 1, Pierce number 2
I agree with Cord…Connery is hot. Daniel Craig is definitely my number 2! :)
"Legs up" is quite appropriate Cooter…lol.
Daniel Craig - intense and hot
Roger Moore - cheesy but in a good way
Timothy Dalton - hot but insignificant
George Lazenby - tame and nice
Sean Connery - wild but macho
Pierce Brosnan - has been (80ies)
Pierce Brosnan
Sean Connery
Timothy Dalton
Daniel Craig
Roger Moore
I do not count George whathisface!
George Lazenby has my vote.
1. Pierce
2. Pierce
3. Pierce
Pierce Brosnan is the best looking bond.Beautiful Pierce Brosnan.
Moore is first. Pierce is the second most handsome.
Lucky me, he looks exactly like my ex!
Pierce!
Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan Pierce Brosnan RIGHT AFTER SEAN CONNERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PIERCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ALLLLLLL THEEEEEEEEE WAYYYYYY
i'm jus so glad that the best looking bond is in my generation!!
Dalton for me! Hot. Dark. Mysterious. Piercing green eyes….and a nice wide mouth that surely comes in handy. He looks like a hungry stalking wolf. Beautiful!
Oh yeah….sorry. Tim's my numero uno! Second handsomest was the question, so I guess that would have to be Brosnan. But didn't care much for his Bond.
