I won't say I can't stand it now but at least I somewhat relate to your sentiment. In the theatre all the noise and flashes paralysed my brain. The small-screen experience though opened my eyes and made me realise DAD is little more than one big cut scene from a video game. That said, there are moments when I can enjoy the film.
There are certainly enjoyable moments. The PTS was great (aside from the surfing at the beginning). I loved the fencing scene at Blades (apart from Madonna's cameo, but at least she looked good and got away quickly). Other than Graves', Bond's, Frost's and Jinx's lame dialogue, the end sequence on the plane was awesome.
i am sure the connery kids thought that but my view is that all the Bonds brought something valuable to the role APART from Brossa, who was simply awful. i can give plenty of arguments to back my case but that's another thread.
Look, thats simply YOUR view. I'm not saying I think he's the best but he made A LOT of people happy. Connery was even apparently quoted as saying he liked Brozza more than Dalts - or at least something along those lines.
"Timothy Dalton had Shakespeare training but he underestimated the role...Pierce Brosnan's a good actor, he's added new elements".
You don't believe me look it up.
Sir Rog went even further during the GE premiere, when he said 'Sean and I will be forgotten once people will see Pierce.'
See? Even former Bonds think Pierce Brosnan is awesome! If Roger Moore said it, you know it's true!
Hahaha! Indeed.
That was before TND, TWINE, and DAD came. Now, Sean is wanted more than ever by his loyal fans.
Actually, not true. If the old 'MI6Forums' still existed, and you read posts from 2002-2003, right after DAD got released, you'd see 90% of members wanted Brosnan back for Bond 21... even those who didn't like DAD at the time wanted him back...
I can believe that. Understand this: I'm speaking in hindsight. Back in 2002-2005, most people that I talked to in reality (not online) wanted Brosnan back (a lot wanted Everything or Nothing to be released in theaters, which might have been interesting). Back then, I wasn't in Bond forums (the few I knew of sucked ass... and I'd never heard of this site or any precursor to it), so my conversations were limited to real people.
it's called being polite. rog is a gent and would never publicly slate another actor, especially a first tme bond appearane. it doesnt change the fact that brossa sucked.
watch this if u need convincing. i agree with all of it:

this guy has done commentaries for most of the films in the series and is pretty impressive.
My mom picked up GE on VHS for me when I was eight or nine years old. Any free chance I had, I would watch it, rewind it, watch it, rewind it. Brosnan will always be my favorite, and GE will always be my favorite. Sure, I have a bunch of others, such as CR, GF, FYEO, etc., but it just doesn't matter how good they are, I can never beat the enjoyment I have when I watch GE.
Agreed to the full! Good to hear from you Creasy!
Watch the link I posted above. Hopefully it will cure you.
Who the hell are you to say they should be "cured"? If they enjoy the film then let them.
Oh look, shadow Jr.
That's not true either. Now we recognise DAD is bad but, at the time, I remember its reception being fairly positive both critically and financially. Many people were sorry to see him go.

Yeah "real people" being the key phrase.
That link provides weak support for your case, my friend.
Concerning the curing part, as a mod I'd like to *cure* you from your sometimes very direct language by suggesting, in a polite manner, that you check out the terms and conditions of this forum.
What are you hinting at? I do actually talk to real people.
Hahahaha! Indeed Brady, indeed. Who is he to say that someone should be cured from their favorite Bond movie? That is taking things much too far!
