Maybe I'm like that due to completely missing out on GoldenEye? ;-)
Brosnan is a good actor, and he's proven so in Evelyn, The Matador and Seraphim Falls, but he was really quite bland and unimpressive as Bond until DAD, when he finally started to make it his own, but the movie fell apart around him.
Shame, really.
While the lack of good writing, score and script certainly added to the problems with Brosnan's movies, Brozza himself isn't blameless at all. He should have studied the novels more to better capture the essence of the Fleming character instead of trying to be smarmy and a forced blend of Moore & Connery.
Haha, yes, certainly can't disagree with you there.
Sean Bean was the man! (and should have been Bond)!
But after watching LTK and GE back-to-back last night I had to seriously reconsider how much I liked GE, and I think I may now prefer LTK to it overall.
It just feels more...Bond-like. Action, suspense and naughty English humour. LTK has a rather...generic feel to it compared to GE. Really? I don't believe for one single moment that Dalton and Samantha Bond/Natalya would have had the same onscreen chemistry. Esp given that the scenes between Caroline Bliss and Dalton were utter pap in comparison.
"And evidently, I don't consider Bond & Brosnan to have any more chemistry than the other ladies, which is very little".
Forgive me Luds but thats a load of bull. Samantha Bond was sassy, humourous and flirtatious. Bliss was just a giggling school-girl who barely got one scene with Dalton during her entire run as Moneypenny. She wasn't the sexy female she should be. Not entirely her fault as the script didn't really allow her to do much but IMO the chemistry between Bond and Brosnan is FAR more obvious. You can really tell they get on with one another.
chalk me up for another "90s" were the worst. I would place both LALD and TSWLM above GE.
60's : FRWL (#2), GF, TB, YOLT OHMSS (#3)
70's: DAF (#4), TMWTGG (#1), TSWLM, MR (#5)
80's: FYEO, OP, TLD, LTK
90's:
00's:
So, 90's and 00's. If I had to choose... 00's is my least favorite decade.
For Dalton, there isn't much chemistry either, he sees her as an annoyance, a little girl who's enamoured with him, he just lives with it. No worries there.
and my vote goes to 70s too altough i dont have nothing wrong with all the movies there isnt great movie.all are ok but none of them is great.in other decades i can find atleast one or more good/great movies
edit-not to do double post i think that sean bean would be bond but after craig.but sean bean from GE not now cause he isnt at right age to be Bond i guess,i so used to this "young" Bond and now i cant get used to "older" Bond :)

"For Dalton, there isn't much chemistry either, he sees her as an annoyance, a little girl who's enamoured with him, he just lives with it. No worries there."
That should NEVER be Moneypenny. MP should be about flirtation, about playful banter, about suggestion - not some school-girl crush.
