@@Morgue12free I don't think so, he played his role very well. Of course he's not like the 90s Bond's, rather a more modern, more serious version of 007 but still with a lot of charm. And I think Craig pulled the franchise out of it's hole again because Brosnan had the character and that face, but the films weren't particularly good. The franchise must also develop and keep up with the times. Hardly anything had changed before Craig. Skyfall and the new Casino Royale were damn great.

@IrishGuitarGaz 7 ай бұрын

I must have seen every Bond film at least a few times, and to this day I still think Brosnan somehow captures the essence of Bond's emotional disassociation better than any of his contemporaries. Physically, Fleming said once whilst writing his books that Bond resembled Hoagie Carmichael - I'm not sure that any of the Bond actors really looked like him, but in my mind, Brosnan's mix of good looks, thick dark hair, slim build and relaxed demeanour just fitted the aesthetic of the character perfectly. It's a shame that his tenure came at the end of an era where humorous quips, ridiculous gadgets and dodgy CGi was still the norm for Bond - whilst more grounded competition like Jason Bourne (and even TV shows like 24, with Jack Bauer) were starting to make waves and revitalising the spy/secret operative genre. I think if they had taken the more gritty/realistic approach of the Daniel Craig films, but with Brosnan starring, it could have been incredible.
