I couldn't agree more! Very well put. Brosnan as Bond was terribly bland, smug and totally unconvincing as a tough guy and a seasoned agent. He was just a cheesy oneliner machine. And always Remington Steele.

Sounds like someone doesn't like really good looking men?
He is my idea of the quintessential James Bond. How I've always pictured Bond to act and look. Much more so than the blonde little fella.
Bond isn't supposed to be Sly Stallone. He is supposed to look at home in a tuxedo AND have skills. Not necessarily a brawny beat-em-up man. He's supposed to be highly intelligent, agile, skilled with weapons and the martial arts. Bond is not brawn. -

Have you read ANY of the novels?
He is designed as a ruthless, cold-blooded killer.
Brosnan weighed maybe 165 lbs in his first outing, then he just got pudgy.
What does how you look in a tuxedo have to do with anything? -

Can you fanboys honestly see this guy playing the raw, alpha-male bravado of James Bond in Casino Royale?
And can you see Daniel Craig playing a suave Oxbridge educated civil servant who was recruited to infiltrate corporations and mingle with the rich and powerful?
I like Daniel Craig Bond films, but he is clearly different from the other Bonds. He's a former military man who was brought in to be muscle and for his physical prowess. He's not suave or charming. Likeable yes. But not charming.

My very personal reason to love Pierce as Bond is that he was the complete package.
He was sexy, charming, great Looking, had great sense of humor and was threatening when it was needed you knew he was serious when he was about to kill one of the bad guys.
For me he was the modern version Sean Connery who is my other Favorite Bond.
Pierce and Sean will always be my two favorites -

I disagree also, my trolldar is going off. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that, and just say you're salty as beep.
I like Craig as Bond, but, these are two very different Bonds. Brosnan revitalized Bond, and GoldenEye was glorious both the movie AND the game! I prefer Brosnan, ever so slightly over Craig. Brosnan had better one liners, more charm, and was just suave. Sure, he didn't radiate alpha, but, he had just enough to make the complete package of what Bond is. I find it a tad and just a tad, more satisfying than Craig's 'pure action'. Brosnan also gave you that feeling that he was never the underdog, never in trouble; everything was calculated.
Anyways, there really is no point to this post, nor this thread. It's all just opinion anyways albeit, you sound salty as all hell.
Brosnan is actually the guy (well Bond) that got me into watches. I love me an Omega Seamaster. The movie, maybe not Brosnan himself, spawned a wonderful game that provided many good memories for me, also.

Are you kidding!!? Pierce was a great Bond!! The lousy scripts were not due to Pierce, but to the idiots making the movie who wrote the scripts!! I think if Pierce was making these movies he'd do a much better job. Yes I can see him making any of the great scripted Bond movies. As for your comment on his good looks Well I'm sure he is much better looking than most of the Bond men, with the exception of Connery, of coarse. Pierce is so damn good looking as I'm sure most of the women fans would tell you. Go watch "Skyfall", and leave your comments of Pierce to the ones who know how great he is.

He was a great Bond. Very charismatic, smooth and convincing with the ladies, tough when you needed him to be, he brought many dramatic layers when he needed to be and knew how to deliver quirky punch-lines when needed, in the right tone that is. He just didn't get the right tools to work with except for "GoldenEye" and "Tomorrow Never Dies" that I actually quite like.
I like Craig's take on Bond, but it's obviously a different take than all the other Bond we had before and drifting further away from the character and taking much from Bourne's and Mission Impossible in the current grounded and grittier era.
I would believe the appeal Brosnan have with the ladies, unlike Craig who seem very stiff and mostly focuses on the other aspects he brings to the table.
Both are good, but Brosnan looks more the part and Craig got better scripts to work with.
