The Brosnan years were good /decent movie imho, and the man looked at least suave.
Dalton looked lost in his two movies, one clearly written for the likes of Roger Moore and the other one was a compromise in what EON really wanted and somehow the scriptwriter watched too much Miami Vice but forgot that Crockett & Tubbs actually have a great chemistry.
Craig should according to the fans be more seriousm but CR buthered one of Flemings best because it needed more action in favour of a tragic love-affair. You hire an actor and don't give him the material. Like DAD great first half frustrating last part. QoS was Bourne-light, while I am no fan of that franchise they actually delivered and the Bond22 was poorly put together and a lot of pouting went on and some incredible poor actionscenes (Boatrace & jumping out of a plane without a chute, Roger Moore did that far better in his movies and they did not need the poor editing to hide the poor camera work).
I hope Bond23 works since it would be a shame having a decent actor and not actually using his skills. And as he grows older he kinda looks, on some pictures, more and more like Gollum. (but alas that part is already taken )
O:-)
Now common. You're being silly. Yes most of Brozza's films weren't great but I'd take GE, TND or TWINE 1000x over the dreadful Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. I literally struggled to sit through that film in the cinema.
Brosnan had/has more charisma that Shia LeBoeuff and Megan Fox PUT TOGETHER
Why do the Brozites always resort to the 'he made more money for EON' argument in defence of their mannequin?
Because he did!! You can't dispute that.
Be fair, I think that is the only argument. He brought money to the series, but characer wise nothing. I don't see any good qualites in Brosnan's Bond that had not been seen in Connery, Moore or Dalton's Bonds.
Grahman Rye is often quoted as another defense of Brosnan. Before it happens again, i'd like to say that I would rather trust my own judgement, and not take his word as gospel.
Can you blame people defending Brosnan? For A LOT of people (me for one) he made them fall in love with Bond. Up until 6 years ago he was seen as "the best since Sean Connery"
I am not blaming anyone !! I love Brosnan as Bond ! I was just saying that whenever there is a) a positive post on PB or b) a negative post on DC, some people go bananas and the thought police starts attacking the poor person who made the post......
This post will make a few people go ballistic... not that I disagree with it.... really, the debates between pro-PB/anti-PB, anti-DC/pro-DC, pro-DC/pro-PB, pro-PB/pro-TD, pro-TD/anti-TD are endless.... there are certain opinions here that produce extremely heated debate, and these threads are borderline insult competitions.
you have a good point there DaltonCraig007 i was just acting on instincts- Daniel Craigs bond is diffrent from Brosnans and he has done a good film- Casino Royale and Bond 23 looks promising but i cant help but defend Brosnan as he was my childhood hero and my favourite bond...i just wanted to defend him..thats all...my apologise to anyone i offended
I want to defend him for the same reasons too BUT I'm not going to pretend that his era was "the golden age" for Bond. Far from it. Looking back most of his films WERE cheese-fests, matching the cheesey era they were made in.
That's my problem with the age of Brozza actually. I don't think the 90s or early 2000s were that cheesy, especially compared to the 70s and 80s. In terms of music, design, architecture, fashion, things were actually pretty interesting. Bond should have been reflecting all that. Instead, the Brosnan era often feels like a bad throwback. I'm still a bit gutted we never got a Portishead title song.
The 90's were much more fun than the world post-9/11. I have very fond memories of my 1990's childhood... the music of 'Scatman John', tv series 'Father Ted', 'Hakkinen-Schuey' battles in grand prix, the end of the career of Pete Sampras, loads of GE007 multiplayer battles on the N64 with friends, Donkey Kong 64.........
Independence Day
True Lies
Terminator 2
Under Siege
2/4 of the Die Hard films
Cliffhanger
Total Recall
Desperado
Eraser
Titanic (watched it again the other week - very cheesey)
Air Force One
The Rock (awesome movie btw)
The Fugitive
Speed/Speed 2
Twister
Jurassic Park/The Lost World
Mission Impossible 1 and 2 (2 especially)
Face/Off
Broken Arrow
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin (urgh!)
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Not all those movies are necessarily "bad" but they are/were big, loud "popcorn" films.
Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't there been plenty of big action fillms in the 80s and 2000s as well? Many of the films on your list are far more entertaining than the Brozza films as well - come to thing of it, they should have just ripped them off directly.
Yes. There were and that influence was starting to take hold in LTK (the slo-mo shot of Felix and the DEA agent in the PTS).
Shia is great when he's given a good script and direction, of which he hasn't had much of since Disturbia.
But from those...he never really "grabbed" me.
I never saw the last Jones movie. I imagine it would be as painful as watching all 4 Brozza movies back to back, followed by the Star Wars Prequels.
;)
He did?
Graham Rye wanted me to do a review of the Brosnan era back in 2002. In retrospect as it was finishing. I said no because I didntn own much of the Brosnan era and he said he would send me his DVDs as he wasnt really watching them. He gave me the impression he wasnt impressed with the era at all. I had his DVDs until recently.
And he was the president of the James Bond British fan club.
