  • When I saw Goldeneye I though Brosnan was a good combination of Connery & Moore. However, now looking back at his tenure, Brosnan did not bring anything new to the table, he played it safe. It feels like they just took a handsome model, put a…
  • 1. Connery - What Connery offered in his seven-film tenure (counting the non-canon Never Say Never Again) is a near-perfect balance between all subsequent imperfections and a command of the role that prompted either substandard impressions or a sign…

  • It pains me to rank Brosnan last, because it was his Bond I came of age watching in the '90s. But his portrayal is too slick and the movies themselves too laden with product placement and dated special effects. (Remember: It was Brosnan in Die Anoth…

  • In answer to the topic.....a definite 'no'. Rewatching the films now, Brosnan's performance is flat and lackadaisical to the point of blandness. What once appeared to be insouciant cool now comes across as sheer laziness. Even in GoldenEye, ge…
