I feel that way myself. Once a year, I manage a watch of my least favorites in MR and DAD. Two reasons. One, because while they are few and far between all the dreck, there are some good scenes to be found in them. And two, as a reminder of where EON went wrong and what they should never do again. Hopefully EON has a similar stance to mine and realizes the same. The other 21 films are on genius levels compared to these two turkeys.
Seems to be a big thing these days, either hating on him or faulting him for things that were out of his hands.
It certainly does, but I lived through this period and I won't allow it on my watch!
As someone who clearly appreciates his first two efforts, I'm not trying to inflame and certainly not bashing. I'm curious though to know when addressing valid criticisms of his era, what things exactly do people consider to be "in his hands" and what was "out of his hands"?
He was popular at the time and maybe he saved the franchise (then DAD just about killed it)
Me, I never got his appeal. Good looking, but just not believable as Bond. IMO
But for many folks, Brosnan was a very good Bond. I think it was pretty fashionable to bash Moore about 20-25 years ago, if I remember correctly. But of course, it wasn't done online then.
Broz was excellent.
He delivered.
Wanna piss on Judi for some of the stupid nonsense she had to do in TWINE, Anti-Brosnanites?
Ha. Didn't think so.
So there we are.
Cool. :)) :)) :))
"Better stay heeyuh for da night... keep up the chiRAAAAAADE of being LOOOOOOvers..."
"Ahm checkin out..."
are just two of my favourite Pierce line deliveries.
I feel just the opposite. The Irish American semi lilt doesn't sound like Bond to me, it's also a little less commanding than I like, just not like those who came before. Same for Lazenby's Aussie accent. Sean's brogue was sufficiently turned down, Tim might as well be English, and Rog and Daniel are so of course their accents didn't need any work.
Tim isn't English? When did this happen? :))
Tim has THE voice for me. Daniel is not far behind.
Tim is Welsh.
To me he is the only Bond I would trust to save the world frankly! He comes across a an intelligent man, a mature adult not a pranking schoolboy like Moore and even the great Connery could be. He seems like a great Prime Minister even. I imagine woman ebing attracted to him, which I can't say for some other 007s. Just my 2 cents of course, but it's good to keep an open mine and see other opinions! Cheers mate.

He was born there, doesn't mean he has a Welsh accent. The whole Tim is the Welsh Bond is nonsense. He grew up in Derbyshire, as you can quite clearly hear in his accent.
Neither am I. English accents are obvious to people closer to the UK, probably, but I'm an American, and while I hear differences in certain accents, they aren't all obvious to me, in terms of which is which.
Apologies. I realised that was a pretty presumptuous post after I hit 'post comment'. I wouldn't expect you to be able to differentiate. I still struggle with a lot of the American dialects myself. I wasn't having a dig, just to clear that up.
I can't for the life of me tell the difference between American and Canadian accents.
Canadian is slightly closer to British pronunciation, or so I've experienced.
You're basically all the same.

Tho im no fan of DAD i dont see how people can say it almost killed the franchise. It was the highest grousing Bond film at the time. It was very successful at the time.
