    They wern't needed and went too far in the Brozzer era. Just like everything else. Thank god the character was rebooted. Ben Wishaws Quartermaster fits perfectly into SF.

    Of course they were needed. They were just as necessary in the Brosnan films as they were in any other era.

    I don't get your argument here. So the Q scenes in every other Bond film were needed but in Brosnans films they weren't? What's the difference?

    Oh fair enough.

    I don't think a Q scene would've fitted into CR but in QOS, when they're tracking Mitchells money on the computer, I think that would've been a good way to introduce Q. They have a generic geeky guy there so why didn't they just bring back Q then?

    I would rather have the great intro we got with Q in Skyfall than have him put in for a minute and then tossed like he would have been in QoS.

    Almost everything !

    Pierce Brosnan had the very best moments, specially with Q. And the PTS.

    As this is a positive thread, I won't derail it by some good old-fashioned, traditional, daily Brozza bashing. ;;)

    Brozza's best moment for me was in TND, sat in a hotel room by himself drinking a bottle of vodka waiting for Hatcher to arrive. This was the closest he got to the Fleming character, IMO.

    However I feel personally with Brosnan as Bond, there was some fun to be had and great lines with it and the Irishman did provide some almost classic moments in the role of 007

    Putting on the X ray glasses at the Zukofsky casino

    The sequence with Kaufman in Hamburg

    The interrogation scenes with Mishkin in Goldeneye "no chit chat, no small talk"

    Sneaking around the Ice Palace in Die Another Day

    The fight with Trevelyan in Cuba

    The fight with Carver's heavies at the Hamburg conference center

    The escape from the bankers building in Bilbao, TWINE

    Sword fight with Graves in Die Another Day

    The talk with Onatopp in the Monte Carlo casino room

    Shooting one of Carver's men on the stealth boat in TND

    Shooting of King in The World Is Not Enough "Call 'em off !"

    The talk with M on the abandoned subway station in Die Another Day

    The whole Trevelyan / Ourumov / Onatopp / Simonova sequence on the Soviet missile train in Goldeneye

    Goes to send a message from Wai Lin's computer in Tomorrow Never Dies and it's in Chinese - "then again - you type"

    The look at Zukofsky when he shoots at Bond's restraint on the torture chair with his cane in TWINE

    The "don't blow it all at once" line from the Die Another Day pre credits sequences

    Brosnan's best moments? GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is not Enough, and Die Another Day. Done. That was easy!

    One of my favorite subtle but more serious moments with Brosnan is in TWINE . The scene in which Bond is upstairs in the Eilean Donan castle in Scotland , researching information regarding Elektra on the computer while David Arnold's mysterious but awesome background music plays with subtle suspense.

    Also to note, I think TWINE's soundtrack was extraordinary, perhaps Arnold's best score IMO.

    That's strange, a lot of people dump on that one, but I like it a lot myself.

    I won't go so far as to include DAD, but yeah, the Brozzer is cool.

    Okay, my apologies. I thought you were talking about the Brozza films.

    TWINE was his most seriously taken effort IMO. Especially the bedroom scenes with Elektra, oh and the stealth scenes involving Bond silently taking out Davidoff while sneaking on board the plane with Renards men.

    and not to forget the opening office scene in TWINE, one of the most under-rated opening sequences IMO. Brosnan looks very good in the opening PTS, especially with those glasses on. I enjoyed how his behavior was very firm and to the point.

    Whether or not Die Another Day wasn't the peak of Bond history, hahaha, it still holds weight because Brosnan is still ultimately slick and cool in it!

    GE- makes short work of thug and then mops brow with the towel.
    TWINE- kills Electra then swallow dives out of the window.
    TND- when Bond comes back onto the monitor to inform Roebuck he has the bombs, and the look of concealed pride on M' s face.
    TWINE- The subtle look of hurt on Bond' s face when Electra asks him he has ever lost anyone.

    I always felt one thing Brosnan was GREAT at was his stern looking facial expressions. In the last few months I've dipped in and out of his films and, while I admit now that most of them are a bit naff and cheesey, they have their good points and Brosnan does have his moments. I really like his evil expression when Miranda and Gustav explain how they arranged a fatal overdose for her competitor in DAD."Using everything at my disposal. Her brains, her talent...even her sex!""The coldest weapon of all"
