Connery gives the best performance in any Bond film playing the character. There's a vulnerability, coolness and brutality creating a very human character.

Some of his ways looked kind of sissy. Like in this film Bond is terrified of a tarantula spider. He's sweating as it crawls over his body. He beats it with his shoe about 6 times.
Here is a CIA agent with a license to kill deathly afraid of a spider. A bite from one of those spiders is painful but his reaction seemed uncool.

"Sean Connery set the bar for all of the subsequent Bonds to follow."

Agreed!

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.

No, he's clearly kind of rusty and wooden in Dr No, lacking the suave smoothness he fully mastered in Goldfinger. Some of his reactions feel strangely abrupt and, although giving an abundantly adequate performance, he's really not entirely comfortable as Bond yet.

Connery has always been MY bond. I mean Dalton to me overall is a pinch better but Connery is a VERY VERY VERY VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRY CLOSE number 2. I just think Dalton portrayed Bond closer to what I read in the novels than Connery. But Charisma? Connery wins all the way. Dalton just earned his place in my heart by his own merits, not so much natural charisma as Connery.
