My Brosnan Bond film rankings:

1. GoldenEye ****
2. The World Is Not Enough ***1/2
3. Tomorrow Never Dies ***1/2
4. Die Another Day ***

[Mina Galore]

Goldeneye hands down. But Tomorrow Never Dies comes quite close.

Glad YOLT admitted he/she was wrong.

My Brosnan films in order of preference (for the moment - my list always changes)

1.) TND
2.) DAD
3.) GE

big drop off here

4.) TWINE

I like Brosnan as Bond and he saved the series.
Would love him to come back for CR (not gonna happen).

I didnt said I was wrong. I never do such a thing. I said OK think whatever you like...

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

I found it funny that based on this poll, Pierce's movies got worse and worse as time went on.

Goldeneye is ranked best, DAD is worst.

[Darth_Xenia]

I don't care what anyone else thinks, DAD was the best in my opinion. My favorite part was the torture sequence. With Madonna's song, that whole sequence is really powerful, unlike anything I'd ever seen in a Bond film before. It wasn't "Classic Bond", but it was cool. Also, the swordfight was cool.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

Those two sequences were great...when you throw in Halle Berry and the finale...well it's not quite as good.

[Qwerty]

Goldeneye is ranked best, DAD is worst.

Almost a tie between The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day now though.

[SecretAgentFan]

I think Casino Royale will be his best.

If he returns, CR has all the potential to be the best swansong of all Bond actors.

That is, if he is not back then for Bond 22...

Goldeneye was the first Bond movie I saw in the theater. Everytime I see a Brosnan-era movie, I am instantly reminded of my Jr. High/High School life. I posted something similar in the CR news forum...I agree with the other sentiments here. If he does return (and I am wishing he does), it will be the best bookend if it his last. The fact that Haggis was brought in to tighten up the script makes it all the better. I have said from the start that I would feel disapointed with any actor other than Brosnan in the next film. I just think it is too soon. After CR, I fully expect another actor to step up to it. But for now, they better make it Brosnan.

Tomorrow Never Dies. Jonathon Pryce, the best pretitle sequence ever, a superb score, a great car, Teri Hatcher in lingerie and the Bond girl actually is Bond's equal this time.

Nice choice!

1. The War between the sexes: Works well this time around with Bond and Wai Lin's chemistry and relationship being affective even during the action scenes. They have much fun pitting these characters up against each other.

2. Plot and Villian Scheme: Carver's scheme is the most creative, fun, and inventive of the action film genre since the Nazi's in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I won't explain what it's about since most on the board should already know, but it's made clear by a good screenplay. I also love the films criticism of the media and its barons like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch.

3. Gadgets: Certainly more fun than DAD's devices, with a great BMW which is memorable unlike the invisible vanquish. I rather enjoy the stealth ship.

4. Brosnan: One of the greatest Bond performances, and definitely Pierce's strongest, most energetic and fun. He seems rather tired and worn out in TWINE and DAD.

5. Elliot Carver: Meets the requirement of a good megolomaniac which is someone who is nerdy, can't completely defend themselves physically against Bond, is utterly loony, and has an ambitious plot to harm the world despite his geeky weaknesses; and there is an enthusiastic performance by Jonathan Price.

6. Paris: The film has well written and interesting scenes between Bond and Paris Carver, which are nicely dramatic and not too much like TWINE's soap opera moments. Nicely shows Bond's love vulnerabilities including his inability to commit to anyone based on his job which is "murder on relationships," and this explains why he could not raise a family with Tracy or anyone else.

7. Other things: Henchmen are good even if Mr. Stamper isn't among the series best, and despite the odd appearence by Jack Wade it doesn't do any damage.

I agree completely, but you missed out the score.

[hartley_bond]

Cannot believe that fans are complaining about the "lack of the James Bond theme" in GoldenEye...that was the best thing about the score - it was edgy and different. In my opinion Arnold uses the James Bond theme too much.

That gives me a good laugh too.

If anything, I find the fact that they didnt use Serra's "Pleasant Drive Through St. Petersburg" track pretty appalling. They go out of thier way and hire someone because they want a new sound for Bond. Then they go ahead and silence his new sound in place of a generic sounding Bond theme, ugh.

I love the version we don't hear in the film.

And I love that the version we don't hear in the film is the version we don't hear in the film.

For me, the order goes like this:

TND
DAD
TWINE
Goldeneye.

Well, my favourite Brosnan film is "Goldeneye". It's also one of my favourite Bond films period. I really like "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "The World Is Not Enough" aswell, although I'm not too keen on "Die Another Day". Frankly I don't think it's any better than "A View To A Kill".

[DanMan]

TWINE was his best I think.

[Marquis]

Tomorrow Never Dies

[YOLT]

I just looked at the "Best Brosnan film" poll. I saw that TND was at the bottom when the poll started. But now its in the second place, very above TWINE and DAD. Interesting...

[darthbond]

Non-bond would have to be Dante's Peak. Bond...Who am I $#@!ing, Goldeneye.

[ChickenStu]

If we're talking about Brosnan's non bond movies, I have to say I really enjoyed "The Thomas Crown Affair". I cannot wait for "The Topkapi Affair" (which apparently will be the sequel).

[darthbond]

There is going to be a sequal to TTCA? I didn't know that. Thanks.

[Mr. Larsen]

I voted for Die Another Day.. I cant remember the movie that much because it was a long time ago since i saw it last but i liked it very much ;b

[Publius]

GoldenEye.

Simply put, it's Brosnan at his most Daltonesque, even if Dalton could have done it better (as always). Nevertheless, this is Brosnan's baby, and he should be darn proud that he got to make one of the best, and the one that finally brought Bond into the '90s.

And of course, starring opposite a man that could have been Bond himself didn't hurt either.

[Colossus]

Goldeneye was good but the rest kind of mesh together into one forgettable pile of Bond.
