That's merely your opinion.
Brosnan can act when given the right role and TTOP shows that he could have perhaps been a better Bond than he actually was. He can play the slimy, oily b*****d to perfection and has a similar "I don't give a damn" attitude in DAD.
The Thomas Crown Affair and The Matador also have him playing similar "arrogant git" roles.
He was respectable in The Thomas Crown Affair remake. Though other than those productions, I am struggling.
PS The Matador was awful
i can't remember much about The Tailor Of Panama - i saw it only once, and that was a long time ago (when it came out, on VHS lol).. i dont remember being too impressed with it at the time........ i knew it wasn't Bond at all, so I wasn't jaded by that, because I had scene TTCA before it, and loved it.... but maybe I need to rewatch Tailor Of Panama... maybe i'll like it more than my first viewing years ago.
I loved the "don't hit me again" line he says to Greg Kinnear on the plane near the end. Wonderfully timed.
Also, he's very good in The Greatest with Carey Mulligan (he doesn't quite steal the show but his performance is effective). Perhaps thats because the role was very close to home for him.
I admit I only saw half an hour of TTOP a few weeks ago but I watched PB carefully. I concluded that as ever you could see him acting by numbers. He seems almost self-aware of his own good looks and it hampers what he does.
I don't dislike him as Bond, but I prefer him in lighter stuff (which suits him better) eg Mrs Doubtfire and Laws Of Attraction. He was ok in Mamma Mia as well until he opened his mouth and sang.
Hands down when of his worst performances. What the hell kind of accent was that supposed to be, because it sure wasn't a New York accent. The only somewhat worthwhile bit of that film is the father/son dynamic, bu Pierce is so uneven and ham fisted, meh.
Funny how two people can view the same thing so differently. That being said, Pattinson is none to good either ;)
Also did anybody see him in Bag of Bones this weekend? Very good performance in my opinion
Pain Face still a current thing....
I haven't seen Remember Me either. But that's not on my list...
I have to say I loved Brosnan's performance in Seraphim Falls, though I wouldn't call it Bondian.
One thing I've noticed recently is his strange accent. It goes from English to Irish to American - even when he's talking normally.
Also "The Taylor of Panama" is one of my top 10 favorite movies. Absolutely brilliant.
AND a must mention is his performance in The Thomas Crown Affair.

Rene Russo - just wow!! You can feel the sparks between them.
"Here's to the fear of being trapped"
I liked him playing a western outlaw in Seraphim Falls. he was very belivable.
Aside from GE his Bond material was never quite up to snuff and the problem with GE is that it was his first time out and he was so stiff and uncomfortable (had a bad haircut too).
In defense of Pierce (and I am not a fan of his) he made the most with the rotten material he was given during his Bond days. ,
Fair play to him. If he'd have delivered the line normally I doubt anyone would have seen it. Taffin is afterall a cheaply made film shot in Ireland.
Brozza made the film more well known.
Seriously, I have a soft spot for "BronHom" so lets try and be positive.
OMG. I have neversense that before. it has changed my life.
We could do that in the other thread too, but apparently it is overly Orwellian in nature where all individual criticism is left at the door.
Yes an excellent performance.
