Timothy Dalton is certainly quite capable of acting well - even if it doesn't show terribly well on film. But I saw him as Lord Asriel at the National, when they did His Dark Materials. A marvellous performance - and then he turned up on the next table in the restaurant over dinner, and spent the whole meal staying in character and winding up the small boy also of his party.
This is true, I've seen him act well in other roles, but as Bond he just struck a wrong note. But I never let the truth get in the way of a good snark ;-)
