Mar 20 2008, 10:30 PM EDT In my opioion, Pierce Brosnan is the best of all james bond. He fits flemings description nearly perfect. He acts like a spy, he is a JAMES BOND!!!! 11 out of 14 found this valuable. Do you? |

"......weelll, I have problems with Brosnan's Bond, a lot of which has to do with problems with the actor himself, but also his interpretation of Bond, which seemed a bit schizo to me. Brosnan tried to make Bond more of a "sensitive" metrosexual and a bit more PC than he needs to be, while also trying to keep the cold-blooded edge, and that just doesn't work to me. It ain't Fleming, that's for sure. Still the series was in good hands while he was around, and I breathed a sigh of relief when he was so good in "Goldeneye"--I just assumed he'd reprise remington Steele again. I think Brosnan's shining moment as Bond was in, of all things, "Die Another Day" when he walked into the elegant 5-star hotel, bearded, bedraggled and in only a pair of pajama-pants, acting like he belonged there. It's not the clothes that make James Bond, it's the Man himself. 2 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

When Pierce was around the seroiusness was about him and the rommance. Connory was a huge fake, his fight secences sucked, Moore stunk(Moonraker particually), Dalton was ok, Lazenby was horrable, i think that was why he was only in one!! Craig is also just as great as bronson. So Mr.Anteropinion, is is the clothes, the cars, the women, the gizsmos that make part of Bond. W/out them, would we recognize him??? 2 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

Craig, without gadgets and great tailored suits (he's nearly everytime wearing casual clothes, but still very elegant), and even great cars if we think in the Mondeo, we can see that he's as good as Connery. 3 out of 4 found this valuable.

Mar 22 2008, 12:55 PM EDT I think Pierce was fine. One of the best? A top three Bond perhaps. However, I agree that he didn't live up to Flemings legacy. Those reflective scenes on the beach? Not what I want from Bond. He wore a suit well, had some good love scenes (Xenia), and had the air of sophistication, but he never was believable to me as a killer. I never felt threatened. And then there's Die Another Day. He should have refused to do that film when he read about the windsurfing scene in the script. 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Mar 27 2008, 4:33 PM EDT I would have to say Pierce is the third best. Connery and Craig have him beat by far. Dalton and Lazenby are probably not as good as pierce. Anyone agree? >>God save the Queen<< 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

OHMSS was a great film without gizmo's. Dr. No and FRWL great films without the clothes or the cars, (the women, well, depends on your taste doesn't it?). On the other hand, there were gizmo's galore in "You Only Live Twice"--did that make a great film? Nah. And it's Mr. Atheropinion to you. It's the attitude--which is what Brosnan actually liked about DAD. Take away the trappings of Bond, and the Man is still there. That's what Brosnan brought to the Myth, and I, for one, think he did a damn fine job at it. If all you like are the clothes, the cars, the "gizmos" and the women, then the "XXX" films are good enough for you. Connery a huge fake? Brosnan didn't think so...it's what inspired him to BE Bond. And I'd checkout the fight with Grant in FRWL--it's the one everybody copies. Moore doesn't fit my image of Bond, either, but he kept the series going. I'm a big fan of Dalton's--without Dalton, I think Brosnan's Bond would have been more like...Moore's. Dalton's interpretation allowed Brosnan to take his Bond a little more seriously . I don't like Lazenby, either, although there are some scenes he does well in, without the choppy editing and over-dubbing--and you still have to admit OHMSS was a cracker-jack of a movie. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

Monday, 4:30 PM EDT I also believe that Pierce is the best bond ever. He should hace been allowed to make more bond movies. I do not care for the new bond at all. Do you find this valuable? |

Monday, 4:41 PM EDT "I also believe that Pierce is the best bond ever. He should hace been allowed to make more bond movies. I do not care for the new bond at all. "Pierce by far was not the Best. His movies can really be broken down......... GoldenEye - THe Best by far. From the Bond ladies to the villain, to the desception, to the plot, to well, his acting!!1 Tomorrow Never Dies - Not his finest hour. Elloit Carver was the only good thing to come out of that one. The World Is Not Enough - Very good. Eleckta King and Renard were surperb villains. M finally showed she wasnt just all "talk" and no action. Plus Zukosvky finally showed where his loyalties lied. Brosnan career soared. If only he would knew that that would be his last defining momment as Bond Die Another Day - Nuff' said. lol. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Pierce the best?
Tuesday, 7:24 AM EDT Heres another thing about Brosnan. Long before he ever played Bond everyone could see Bond oozing from him. He was Bond long before he ever played him. I remember him from Remington steel when i was a young boy and me and my older brother who is a huge Bond fan always wished he would be Bond and that was even before there was even a hint of him being tipped for Bond. Im irish so when peirce made it big in Hollywood (his home toen is 45 mins from where i lived) it was such a big deal to us and Ireland. Every interview fron way back then actually mentioned in it something about Bond to him. Guys, Brosnan had Bond oozing from him, it was inevitable. Brosnan was, and always will be Bond...and thats the oppinion of critics and professionals from years and years ago and still rings true today. Do you find this valuable? |
