    I don't dislike any of the Bonds, but Brosnan is the weakest so far. Not entirely his fault because he didn't write or direct the four poor films he was in, but he was 'composite Bond' - an amalgam of the other actors without bringing anything new to the table. If he was given a good script and the right director then he might have worked out better, but that never happened and now we'll never know how good he might have been.

    +1, I'd agree with that.

    some of the"extras" didn't help. One scene in TND, as Bond
    enters the hotel and two of the villain's cars drive past. The
    actors in the backseat, are very bad and I'm very aware I'm
    watching a movie. :p :))

    :v :v Thunderpussy is now on 'The List'

    This thread should have remained closed - now we have the cottonballs flying over our heads :D :))

    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    Interesting how this thread turned from displaying a Brosnan montage into a Brosnan bash-athon -{

    Guys, carry on loving what you love and don't let anyone try
    and change you ... ( wrong as you may be ) :p only joking. :))

    Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

    Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

    Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

    And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.

    And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

    I wrote that. ;) ...... ( Max Ehrmann )

    Okay. I think some people may have guessed by now that I'm no fan of Brosnan, that said what Bond film of his do you think was his finest outing & why? Why do I ask? Because the next time it appears on TV I promise to give it a viewing.

    the thought had crossed the mind.
    but on to your question: I think Brosnan's best take on it was in TWINE and his best film persé was DAD (how ironic)

    Or 'And watch Brosnan give the public what the producers thought they wanted! -{

    Successfully, too. The Brosnan films made pots of money, which would suggest that the producers were correct... at the time.

    As Brosnan has shown in other films how much of a cold killer he can be.
    He obviously played Bond as " requested" and he did it superbly -{ which
    I think shows how much better an actor he is, but rarely gets credit for. :007)
    Brosnan is cursed with " Good looks" and like many good looking people
    Is " dismissed " as not having any range or depth as an actor.
    ( I too am stunningly beautiful, so have faced such Prejudice ;) , with my long
    Flowing hair, strong jaw line, twinkling blue eyes, swimmers body etc).
    In my opinion, Brosnan did what was asked and he delivered ! He is a professional
    Doing a job, after all. :))
    By the way he hated DAD, thought it, his worst Bond. ;) so even he agreed with
    Some here. :))

    I have no problem with Brosnan as an actor he is very good in all sorts of roles it's just that as Bond he was the only one who I could never take to - nonetheless I enjoyed them and TND is a proper old fashioned Bond IMO.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    As many have pointed out absolutely no problem in having a different
    Opinion and expressing it. You can't beat a bit of banter on Bond. {[]

    Percy has been good in his post-Bond career, e.g. The Matador. We should feel sorry for him that he wasn't given a good Bond script to work with.
