Sour grapes more like.
@agent_one: this was lightning in the bottle for sure: the Fleming story, so close to the origins of the novel, Peter Hunt having an amazing grasp on the character, and the cast... but GL and OHMSS is better than anything Brosnan and his films could ever hope to achieve.
I agree, take these ingredients away and GL may have fallen into a hole.
But the film we have? I only watch Brosnan films when I do a full Bond festival; I watch OHMSS at least twice a year.
No, not even remotely. And even if you dislike his Bond, his output outside of it is enough to dispel such notions.
He was the alpha in every scene.
@CraigMooreOHMSS I think of his other films as I do his Bond films (my opinion and I am not interested in changing opinions by stating it): he's mediocre at best, boring at his worst (or just plain over the top). My opinion.
I do consider him a very classy gentleman, and a likeable personality, but he never scratched my surface in anything he did.
And I think GL's natural (yet at times clumsy) presence knocks PB's thin shadow off to one side.
You don't need to keep repeating that it's your opinion, @peter - I know right well that it is. You're entitled to it, of course. As wrong as I feel it may be. ;)
Just wanna make sure that these are understood as a personal perspective.
You should know me better than that by now!
In that particular picture he looks Indian to me.
I agree. My main criticism of GL is his odd accent though. If he perfected his English accent he would have been much better.....but I guess that falls under ‘acting craft’ anyhow.
I agree with all this. Brosnan seems like a really decent gentleman, but his Bond and films were all mediocre.

Honestly. Unbelievable 8-|
Yeah he's the only young one I feel vaguely confident could fill the screen enough.
He really reminds me of Oscar Isaac. Not a bad thing.
If it s a small screen.
Sure.
Nah I watched '71 the other day and he was great in it.
🤣 I hear O’Connell is being considered for the lead in a sequel to ‘Willow’ 😉
Brilliant!!! 🤣 True though.
Don't forget your own rules:
Laughing at someone's height and trying to ridicule others' opinions doesn't seem hugely polite and respectful to me. But y'know, some people are experts on everything. Their opinions are facts. Very rarely are they humble or gracious.
You just take everything so seriously.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly.
Completely off topic, but I just had this vision of a story where Christian Grey is suspected and mistaken for Batman because of his secret room.
That said, I think Jamie Dornan is wrong for both Batman and Bond.
Fair enough. In the spirit of a fair discussion, O’Connell in my view, is so short it makes the part of Bond an unviable prospect for him as an actor. He’s a decent actor, but the bond role comes with physical characteristics that need to be met. UK Average height has to be a bare minimum IMO.
Daniel Craig is only borderline acceptable (height wise), but IMO they shouldn’t set the bar lower still further.
He’s not my idea of James Bond at all. He’s a bit nondescript, not a natural leading man in my view. He looks like an ‘everyman’.
I’m not denying he’s a good actor though.
