Tomorrow Never Dies, followed closely by Goldeneye. I like all the Pierce movies, even DAD.

I had to vote for Goldeneye. I've been a fan of Sean Bean since I saw him in Patriot Games when it came out, and of Famke Janssen since Lord of Illusions, when it came out. So it's not an entirely Brosnan choice, but it's still his best!

The World Is Not Enough

[Double-0-7]

Goldeneye, just the right amount of CGI - none!

[Gothamite]

Tomorrow Never Dies. Suited Brosnan perfectly and it had some of the best uses of the Bond theme, ever. I didn't think it was over-used at all.
It made up for all those Moore/Dalton years where it was barely used at all (and even then, it was only used in ridiculous action moments).

[moorebond82]

Of all Brosnans bond movies i like Tommrow Never Dies best,so that got my vote.

[PBrosnan]

It was a tough decision. Even though GoldenEye was great, I have to say that Die Another Day was his best.

[sharpshooter]

GoldenEye.

It has a somewhat slick feel that I feel was lacking in his following three. It sticks out for how different it is to his others, eg. the score. I rank the tank chase higher than the motorbike chase, Q boat chase also - but that is just me.

Take the parahawk chase for instance in TWINE, lacks any real tension (come on, you miss Bond with machine gun at that close?)

Shame Brosnan's other Bond's didnt follow with the character development, although it was minor was interesting. This came from a great villain from Bean.

TND then GE

How so?

[Commander MacArthur]

TWINE is my favorite Brosnan. Christmas Jones may have been a terrible Bond girl, but it has alot of originality.

[jaws_dentist]

GE without a doubt !

after that the franchise became very cheesy and the villains a bit impotent and unconvincing.

[DaveBond21]

TND followed closely by GE and TWINE.


I think TND just edges GE because Brosnan had settled into the role and the music is better.

I love the PTS of TWINE - probably my favourite PTS of the whole series.

What was your specific opinion on Elliot Carver, if I may ask?

[Bucky]

its a tough call. a few months ago it would have been goldeneye no question. but now im thinking tomorrow never dies may be better. brosnan was a better bond in tomorrow never dies but i have more nostalgia with goldeneye. im undecided right now.

[Geof]

I'd have to say Goldeneye's my favorite. After that, it's all kind of a big jumble with no one movie really making more of an impression on me than another. But let's try! From better to worse...er. Whee!

The World Is Not Enough - I don't know why, maybe it's the "the villain is a WOMAN" angle, maybe it's the opening sequence, maybe it's the BMW Z8 (damn you BMW for not releasing it in the States - as if I could ever afford one, but DAMN YOU NONETHELESS!) or maybe it's Garbage's theme song (HI SHIRLEY!)

Die Another Day - Although I think this entire film is totally inappropriate for a 40th Anniversary commemoration, there ARE moments in it which I found enjoyable. I can't think of a single one at the moment, but I WAS able to get through the entire DVD recently, so there must be something of value in there. I'll let you know what it is when I think of it. Or not.

Tomorrow Never Dies - Michelle Yeoh must be rolling in her grave. I KNOW SHE'S NOT DEAD. THE STATEMENT STANDS. Jonathan ****ing Pryce, good lord.

jonathan pryce had zero mallice and dont forget we in the UK hear his voice-overs on every other TV commercial so it all lessened his already weak impact.

richard briers would have been more suitable !

I loved all of them, but TWINE is by far my favorite and also my favorite of the entire series

[Agent Carter]

Easy. Goldeneye.

[ChronoBreak]

Still Goldeneye by far, but I'm warming to the many positives of The World is not Enough - It makes for an easy runner up.

Wow, talk about a momentary lapse of judgment... *blushes*

[nnaka261]

GoldenEye, mainly because it stands out in my mind as the most innovative of the series (prior to Casino Royale) without making it obvious that it was trying to be innovative (think Die Another Day. . . Could it have gotten more over-the-top?). Also because it's the first Bond flick I saw.

I would say GE for the following reasons:

It sets the stage for a new era of Bond--a new set of actors and actresses for characters, a new world for Bond, a new type of warfare, and a new generation of Bond fans.

The storyline, while not without its holes, is very symmetrical and has a very poetic, almost chiastic feel. The chiastic traits can be seen in more than just the plot's structure; it is evidenced in the characterst themselves. We have Bond and Trevelyan at the center of the chiasmus, each representing their respective sides. Spreading out from them is the Natalya-Xenia (good girl-bad girl) dynamic. Fanning out further is the Grishenko-Wade (foil for the villain-foil for the hero) duo accompanied by Ourumov-Zukovsky (enemy from the past-ally from the past).

The film has one of my favorite M vs. Bond dialogues ("sexist, misogynist dinosaur"), and arguably the best tension between Miss Moneypenny and James ("make good on your innuendos").

DAD is at the bottom of my list, not because of Brosnan but because of the disappointment I felt as the movie shifted from the gritty spy thriller to the epic fantasy adventure.

I must say, however, that Brosnan's performance in the first 45 minutes of the film was superb. For that period of time, I was convinced that this man had created the role of James Bond.

Welcome to the CBn Forums, timourinho.

[kevrichardson]

The World is Not Enough . i feel very strongly that it is Brosnan best Bond Film.

[Sbott]

If you can suspend belief in Dr Christmas Jones then TWINE is Brosnan's best film. I really enjoyed GE but over the years have found that with repeated viewing its lost its shine, whereas TWINE still has much to offer.
There is no doubt that DAD is the worst Brosnan film.
