Indeed. Brosnan had a little of the same quality as Bond. Didn't feel that he looked to old by DAD. If anything, he delivered a good performance in a film that just wasn't as good.
Brosnan in DAD is one of my favourite Bond performances. He has to sell the stupid stuff and the serious dramatic stuff and make it seem consistent. The film shifts tones so often that it should be jarring, so Brosnan really has to anchor the film, and I think he really pulled it off. Genuinely can't picture any other Bond doing DAD. Moore would have sold the OTT stuff to perfection but the dramatic North Korea scenes I'm not so sure. Opposite for Dalton and Craig, they'd have nailed that stuff but can they make the audience buy into an invisible car and a giant space lazer? Connery would have taken one look at the script and phoned it in. But Brosnan gives it his all and nails it.
I think it's also the most consistent and confident he'd ever been as Bond. He seemed really comfortable and self assured by that point, he wasn't playing James Bond anymore, he was James Bond. It's a real shame that he got given his worst film right as he hit his stride imo.
I find it really sad how down on his performances he seems to be nowadays, saying he was never good enough, etc. He shouldn't be so hard on himself. He was brilliant.
If I could erase the later half of TND and all of TWINE from my memory (believe me when I say sometimes I try to) I'd look at him as Bond in a far more positive light. I'm referring to his performances in those sections of the film more than I am the films themselves (although I thought both were quite poor).
To be honest I completely understand why you don't like TWINE. It's definitely rough around the edges and probably his weakest performance because he does overact at times. But I love it because there's just so many great original ideas in there and I think it has a really good story and loads of cool inventive concepts and action scenes. I felt like with TND they really phoned it in towards the end, but TWINE was more the sort of thing I was expecting after Goldeneye. I remember sitting in the cinema watching it for the first time and when he lands on the dome and the titles finally kicked in I thought "this is already better than the last one".
I don't get it. Why did you post that Daniel Craig image but changed the title?
I think that's something that every fan should keep in mind while watching TWINE, especially newer fans who first got into Bond during the Craig era. Because the context of the Craig films it might all seem a bit played out but at the time all that stuff, MI6 being blown up, the trust issues, the personal drama, M playing a big role. This was all new. By the time SF came out that stuff had sort of become a formula in itself so it's easy to forget how different it was at the time.
Pierce was solid. I kind of felt he reminded me of John Gardner's 007 rather than Fleming.
Yes, he really is confident. One could pick many moments from the film, but the clilic scene(s) are one of several examples of this.

Never heard of him. But he's black so 'no'.
It was a funny announcement.
That's some good stuff, i'm sure. I will happily let him be Bond. But first, I have to be cast as Shaft, and the film must cross the $1 billion dollar mark at the box office.
From what I understand how this goes, because I have said that I want to be Shaft, everyone must now automatically overlook three things, I am not a) black, b) american and c) an actor.
Well considering his seriousness, you might be in for a real chance there! ;-)
I had her in mind for Coffy, but Foxy Brown could also work. :D
And with my clout that Shaft will bring, I will get my dog cast as Lassie. My dog is a Borador, but that won't matter.
This is a triumph for diversity.
We dodged a bullet there. No wonder he didn t get the part.
He dodged a few bullets himself. And one that didn't.
