It seems a lot more fans think of him as a bad Bond nowadays, compared to when he was Bond. Personally I think he is second best one after Connery, with Craig at #3 myself.
What do you think?
If we did a "Best Bond" elimination game everyone would probably suddenly think he was awesome and vote for him to win.
shareHim or Woody Allen.
Maybe this is an elaborate ploy to mess with the minds of James Bond message board poll takers.
I've always liked him as 007.
I rank him third after Dalton and Connery.

Why does Brosnan get picked on so much now?
Is that you, Dave?

Is that you, Dave? I get your point, but the OP didn't use exclamation points.

It's not hatred of Brosnan it's more the worship of Daniel Craig from the newest fans, Brosnan is a better actor and can act circles round Daniel on his death bed, but Daniel has the big guns but physique doesn't make a difference if you're not the Terminator.
shareBrosnan was fine for me. But definitely some didn't like his films or him as Bond and they're vocal about it.
Here on the board that includes longtime fans. They have their reasons. While I like Brosnan I'd say his films touched on a lot of things the Craig missions took on more fully, without reservations, without a kind of crutch carried forward too long after Roger Moore into the Dalton and Brosnan missions. Some unnecessary silliness at times.
I think any shortcomings of the Brosnan films go back to the producers. They could have made better choices and Brosnan would rise to that level. But things are what they are.
The game-changer in the franchise was filming Casino Royale for really the first time, the story that establishes the Bond character. So now there's a difference with a more straightforward spy thriller using the book and film staples in smart ways.
To me Connery is the best Bond, Timothy Dalton is my favorite. But Craig already has the consistently best group of Bond films and the train is on the tracks, there's no sign of it letting up.
I'm motivated by my Duty.
I liked Brosnan in the role, but he got stuck with movies that weren't that great. GE is average "Bond by the numbers" for the most part (almost to the Bond franchise what The Force Awakens was to Star Wars) and his other films were all varying degrees of bad. He would be better viewed if he had gotten to make CR or THE TOWERING AND MAJESTIC TLD.
