Sean Connery - Genius or crap ?

He sure as hell ain't a genius, that description should surely be reserved for the likes of Einstein, Hawkins, Aristotle, Plato, Leibniz, da Vinci, Darwin, Mozart, etc, etc.

He may be a quite good actor and, even though I am male, I can see how he is attractive to women, great 'presence'.

So...not genius, not crap either, just a creditable actor.

Now Burton...there was a great actor (still not genius though).

Couldnt agree more.

Connery is my favourite actor as Bond.

And yes it's true he's done some crap movies, but name one actor, who's been around as long as him who hasnt.

Funnily enough, I imagined Timothy Dalton when I read the books.

IMO, Dalton was far more accurate.

Back on topic. I don't know whether I would say that Sean Connery was a great actor. I do know, however, that I enjoy what he does (which as far as I am concerned is the main point).
