    Isnt it a bit odd that Brosnan was the ONLY Bond not to have a film title named after a Fleming 007 novel ?

    No, it was appropriate.

    Why must you torment us so, @Thunderfinger? At least he got two Fleming-inspired titles. On a side note, what would you all dub Tomorrow Never Dies, since it was probably the most most generic Bond title?

    Ian Fleming created the character and that's good enough. You can't expect a series to survive 50 years by remaining 100% loyal to his work.

    Agree, and I must torment you just because I am pure evil.

    You speak the truth. Without a bit of variation and development, it becomes old news and stale.

    A thread similar to this for Dalton's era, but in a more 'vs.' style could work. i.e. which out of TLD and LTK had better villains, girls, soundtracks, PTS, etc.

    Tomorrow never dies

    Performance's
    The World is not enough
    Die Another Day
    Tomorrow never Dies
    Goldeneye

    Note: Don't get me wrong I still loved him in this film, it's just that he was still a little too young in it and that made him just a bitt less believable since he didn't have the right built (physically) to be Bond.

    It's still a great debut performance and there were many moments when he was BOND but he definitely got better as the films advanced

    Note : i still like this one very much and its very entretaining its just the cinematography is a little too dark here, i prefer them more colorful and with more light like in The World is not enough and Goldenye.

    Agree mostly. I just prefer TWINE over TND

    I liked twine as a kid. Now I think it's the worst Brosnan entry and might even be bottom ranked overall. On my recent viewing I didn't find much to like about it, apart from the pts and its accompanying soundtrack

    At least in DAD Brosnan has a convincing and confident performance

    I think TWINE at least tries something different. Unfortunately like much of Brosnan's entries - it doesn't commit to it. This could well be the nagging memory of LTK's reception being large in the mind of the producers. It's the most tonally messy of the Brosnan era - but then again you look at DAD's M/007 debrief scene when he's all weirdy beardy and that scene belongs nowhere near the rest of that movie. I think in DAD they just extinguish the more intriguing character elements a lot quicker than they do in TWINE.

    While TWINE has elements that grate (Christmas Jones, Cleese's performance) and a lack of memorable action set pieces I find the characters - particularly the villains more engaging. In TND and DAD I don't think I'm ever invested in any of the character's journeys. I wish TWINE was so much more...but not being the biggest Brosnan fan - I do prefer it to TND and DAD.

    Isnt it a bit odd that Brosnan was the ONLY Bond not to have a film title named after a Fleming 007 novel ?

    Yes, I have thought that before too.
