Your favorite Pierce Brosnan Bond movie

[Hades]

Pierce Brosnan was an average Bond, no where near as bad Timothy Dalty and that other guy that only lasted 1 movie (which I have never seen). However, despite Pierce's lack of being a completely great Bond, he did have a few decent movies. Well, one really terrible one, two enjoyable ones, and one great one, which I think is Tomorrow Never Dies. Which is your favorite Brosnan Bond movie?

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I don't know. I never saw Die Another Day, but I enjoyed Goldeneye, Tommorow Never Dies, and the World Is Not Enough. I'd have a hard time picking a favorite.

Though if I had to, probably Tommorow Never Dies.

I found Brosnan to be very good and he was my favorite (until now, possibly, with Craig's arrival). "Goldeneye" is my favorite, followed by TND and DAD. TWINE was the only one that I felt was truly lackluster. DAD was a little too slick and special-effect heavy, but I found it to be quite enjoyable.

I forget the movie title, which isn't exclusive to Bond.

It's the one with Bond in some prison with a beard.

Then it's the one where the girl who was kidnapped had Stockholm Syndrome or whatever.

Really liked seeing Terri Hatcher's character bite it.

Die Another Day purely because I like that Madonna song, which has grown on me since the grocery store that I work at plays it a lot or whatever funky radio (satelite?) station plays rap, country, pop, and circus (at least sounds like it) music.

LAWNMOWER MAN!!!! I thought that movie with him was awsome...

[Michael24]

Goldeneye, and that's the only Brosnan Bond movie I liked. (Though I did like him in Tomorrow Never Dies, it was just the rest of the movie that sucked.)

Oh, and Timothy Dalton ruled as Bond, and George Lazenby is not as bad as his reputation suggests. Overall, I'd rank Brosnan as my third favorite Bond, maybe fourth since Roger Moore did more movies that I liked than Brosnan did.

If you've never seen it, how do you know he was bad? And I though that Dalton was much underrated myself.

[Michael24]

Yes, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is generally considered to have the best story, and the action scenes have always been highly-regarded. The climactic fight between Bond and Blofeld on the bobsled run is still exciting today.

The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill were great attempts to get Bond back on track after the more comical Roger Moore era (though Moore did have some good films). Both did well financially, despite Licence To Kill's reputation of stalling out the franchise. It was legal disputes that kept Bond off the screen after 1989, not LTK's box office performance.

The Matador.

Agreed. Dalton was definitely underrated. He brought a definite edge and intensity to the role, which I loved. "The Living Daylights" kind of stunk, from what I remember (don't jump on me if I'm wrong, I haven't seen it in a while), and the fact that he was in only two movies doesn't help. "License to Kill" is one of my favorites, though.

And no, Lazenby wasn't as bad as many make out. He might not have been great, but I didn't think he hurt the movie, either.

I didn't think so when I watched it the night after seeing "Casino Royale". Of course, the action in CF was, to quote a friend, "off the hook", so I suppose its not surprising.

[Michael24]

The Living Daylights is my personal favorite Bond movie. I like that Bond actually got to focus on one woman for a change and gets a semi-romantic storyline admist all the action. And Licence To Kill, well, that was the down and gritty Bond as Flemming wrote him. Dalton definitely deserved more outings, and it's a same the legal disputes forced him to eventually give up and drop out.

And I think Lazenby, if he hadn't let his ego get in the way, could have easily made the role his own.

The airport tarmac chase was pretty sweet, but I'll still take OHMSS's action scenes over Casino Royale's.

I think the best part in CR (which i think the whole movie was awsome) was when he was getting whacked in the bawls... thats pretty mainly/painful to go through. Yea, i was digging and squrming, but its just a memerable part to see bond in a tough interogattion like that, and still be awsome and make his jokes like "TO THE RIGHT, TO THE RIGHT!!!!" XD.

I just know that On Her Majesty's Secret Service had Telly Savales in it, since ive seen the end where

Spoiler:

Telly kills bonds wife but then he drives of a cliff or something

. But, i would watch that movie, because Telly Savales is in it (KELLY'S HEROES FTW!!!!)

[Nin-Nin69]

Mrs. Doubtfire since it's one of his most forgetable roles.

[Mog]

All this talk about his roles as James Bond is fine, but you all seem to forget The Thomas Crown Affair, which is Brosnan's best work.

In case someone doesn't know, the sequel is called The Topkapi Affair and should be out sometime next year, also starring Brosnan.

The first half of your spoiler is correct, but not the second.

If we're talking about all of Pierce Brosnan's films, including non-Bond flicks, I'd say my favorite is Live Wire. Getting to hear Brosnan drop the F-bomb several times was pretty sweet. He was also good as the bad guy in the TV movie Never Talk To Strangers, which he did just before Goldeneye and (I think) aired the same year. Detonator and Detonator II (Bond-esque TV movies) and The Matador were pretty good, too. And I did like him in The Thomas Crown Affair, but I thought the film was unbearable to sit through.

Mrs. Doubtfire since it's one of his most forgetable roles.

"What can I say? The guy's a loooooooosah."

In terms of his Bond films, my fave is Goldeneye, followed by Die Another Day, then Tomorrow Never Dies, and finally The World is Not Enough. It's no surprise that I liked Goldeneye the best, since Martin Campbell directed both that and the recent Casino Royale.

Oddly enough, when I first watched TWINE in theaters, I thought it was the BEST Brosnan Bond movie so far, but I think that was just a post-viewing rush that was only fueled when my friends were listing off their favorite scenes. Upon rewatching it, I wasn't terribly fond of it, especially Denise Richards as Christmas Jones, whom I initially liked because... well... I found Denise hot. But I think my crush on her clouded my ability to see that her acting was so corny and was introduced too late in the game to really have much of an impact.

It had a few good action scenes (i.e. the boat chase in the beginning) but its script left a lot to be desired.

[Michael24]

Yeah, I definitely give props to TWINE's teaser sequence, despite how long it takes to get to the credits. The boat chase is awesome. I just wish they had kept Maria Grazia Cucinotta's character for the rest of the film.

"What can I say? The guy's a loooooooosah."

LOL!!!

[Cortez2301]

I liked "The world is not enough" the best."Goldeneye" and "Die another day" come right after it.

Actually the topic title was supposed to be "Your Favorite Pierce Brosnan Bond Movie," but for some reason, Bond did not seem to get put there. I guess I should have tripled checked my topic title before posting. Is there a mod that can add Bond to that?

I seem to see those Detonator movies at my local vid store, you think i should check them out?
