Pierce Brosnan is the Best Bond


I like all his films

GoldenEye (1995) is great

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) is very good

The World Is Not Enough (1999) is good, watched it again last night

Die Another Day (2002) i like it personally

He at the time was the most action James Bond, maybe the best in shape of the Bonds, he had gadgets and guns, probably more so than the Bonds before.

I love how brave he was, in The World Is Not Enough, where Elektra is strangling him in the chair, she said that Bond liked her and he says "You meant nothing to me' compared to say Connery in Goldfinger who just begs for his life in such situations.

He was also ruthless, he was prepared to execute Renard who was unarmed, the line he says 'expecting Davidov? He caught a bullet instead of the plane' is awesome line.

People like Daniel Craig, granted he is probably in better shape but he isn't sophisticated or suave like Brosnan was, Craig doesn't look comfortable in suits whereas most Bonds wore them easily, Brosnan always looked stylish as Bond.

GoldenEye was the first James Bond film I ever saw, so Brosnan was the first I saw.

Connery, hands down

He barely did anything

He had 1 gadget car whereas Brosnan had a different one in each film

Well I wouldn't go quite that far but I mostly agree

I don't see Craig's films as James Bond, they are good action films, just not real Bond films.

You've called Craig the best Bond in the past, Xie. Don't deny it. Why the change?

reply

He even referred to him as "The James Bond" at one point.

yup...looks like El Trollo rides again...

GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002), I like then more than Craig's films.

Brosnan is more like an action Bond, Daniel Craig, while a good actor, his Bond is more like Bourne, he just isn't like the James Bond in earlier films.
