That's right, before Daniel Craig took on the role of the martini-sipping spy, being James Bond was a lot more comical and over-the-top. Starting with Sean Connery as the original 007 in 1962's Dr. No, the series was an endearing mix of ridiculousness, intrigue and fun. As Pierce Brosnan expressed to Daily Mail, with his successor, the franchise lost the whimsy that it was founded upon. As the times changed, the studio must have felt the super spy should too, deciding on a more brawny and lethal look for the character. Craig, who has starred in four Bond films and will return in 2019 for Bond 25, has kept it light on the wise-cracks and stayed heavy on the brooding.
