I agree, said before I am not a fan of Brosnan's movies but this topic was just an excuse for people who already did not like Brosnan to have a go for being honest about whathe thought about Spectre. BTW Brosnan was right the script ended up a mess, Dan's best performance saves the film. A better story next time round and Dan will be on to a classic and we'll all be calling Spectre QOS 2.
Look at what Craig did in China. Many people believe his visit is a huge reason the film is doing so well there. What if the opposite happened and he went there and said, "Hey this film sucks! Don't go see it!"? Would that hurt the film financially or not? Of course it would because that's how publicity works. Anyone that thinks otherwise knows nothing about how the media influences people. Brosnan's remakrs will cost EON money. Period, end of story, done.
You probably mistake me with someone else.
My favourite actor by far is Dalton.
I always had and will have Brosnan and Moore on par.
That most critics say he was pretty lame is an assumption by you.
RT's top 3 bottom are all Roger Moore movies.
And look the critics consensus up on TND and DAD.
I always will defend any actor that gets bashed unfairly. 90% of the time it's Brosnan on this forum. Sometimes Dalton and Lazenby.
I did see an interview once, where even Pierce Brosnan laughed at the CGI scene in his DAD!
After your logic Craig has hurt the BO of Spectre a great lot more by his worldwide printed "wrist slashing" remarks.
Open a thread about that and see what happens.
Why do you think this is? How is it unfair? Because he doesn't deserve it? Because we are all unfair and hate him? Because people here know nothing about Bond, are on a witch hunt against him? Because people just want to hate him for no reason?
Or maybe because his films were weak, cookie cutter creations that were churned out without thought beyond keeping the franchise going forward and making money? Maybe the criticisms are valid. Which is it?
There are dozens of PB bashing threads. Some people are just sick.
He's 6 out of the 6 for me, and for legitimate, justifiable reasons (in the sense that I can argue my case for why he is 6). For me it is not a 'hate' thing. I liked GE.
I've found most criticism of most things on here are not 'hate'. We are all Bond fans. It's the lovers that get sensitive from time to time. I 'love' GE but I can understand why people dislike it and their criticisms, for the most part, are warranted. I still like it but I won't defend its weak parts.
Uh, have you not read the part in the 1.2 Billion Spectre thread where people say exactly this? The general consensus is that Craig's remarks DID hurt the film.
I personally liked Pierce Brosnan as Bond................but it was just unfortunate for him, that each of his subsequent Bond films had lets say a less than great script written for each of them.
I certainly didn't mean you. It is only a few posters that are taking every opportunity to senselessly bash.
Having a discussion about an actor or a movie is always good.
I already have learned a lot from people like you on this forum and even altered some of my opinions on some things Bond.
Oh Dear, I'm sorry :))
It's like being back in school - just without the whole "learning" aspect.
This is where we part company. Roger is a legend in my book. Number 2 out of 6. Brosnan is at the bottom and is likely to stay there unless they decide to replace Craig with Justin Bieber.
Rog can say whatever he likes about the films IMO. He's rarely critical and even when he is he makes me laugh, even if I disagree with him.
If Brosnan had been half the Bond that Moore was, then I'd have been happy.
The question is, do people think that his opinion is warranted? I do. Some don't.
No doubt, his opinion willl have no where (not even close) to the effect that Craig's infamous (and idiotic) wrist slasher remarks had on box office, although both can't be quantified.
I second that, it s Bash Brosnan, Defend Brosnan threat which there are 100's of threads doing the same already. Most of the comments I have seen before from the same users.
=))
I actually have difficulties ranking the actors, for me it's always first about the movies not the actors.
The exception may be Dalton because he made two movies that are both in my Top 10. Had he done another 2 or 3 that would be somewhere in the middle or possibly one somewhere at the bottom, I may look differently upon him.
Perhaps Moore (or even Connery) aren't experts on Fleming, but i'd like to think they'd admit their lack of knowledge before stating an incorrect fact.
