A video to convince Brosnan haters

Matt SMatt S Oh Cult Voodoo ShopPosts: 6,616MI6 Agent
I found this brilliant video of Pierce Brosnan edited into the Spectre trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6SiRA3lSuw&feature=youtu.be

The clips it takes from mostly Brosnan's films after Bond and shows that he could have been a more serious Bond, and could have done another Bond film or two before being too old. He's certainly too old now.

    as I always say, his performances are without a doubt perfect
    and there wouldn't have been any urgency to alter them.
    besides, I found him rather rude and without any charms in NM, so I'm glad
    they left it with the british gentleman with him :)

    There are actually some very sad people out there. Brosnans gone, Kaput! He doesn't matter anymore. One video on youtube isn't going to convince everyone of Brosnan

    Bond has moved on. Craig is Bond now. You can either cling on to your prejudices and get bitter or you can embrace him..

    The choice is yours...

    Every time someone posts anything positive about Brosnan, you don't just attack Brosnan, but you attack the people who like him. I not only like Brosnan, but I also like Connery, Lazenby, Moore and Dalton. All of the previous Bonds still matter! You cling on to your prejudices and get bitter. Very, very bitter.

    how is remembering the good old Brosnan days clinging and sad?!
    I think it's rather sad to write something like what you did!
    basically, you attack the whole Brosnan fanbase by calling them sad just because they like a former Bond actor!!!
    just because some people float in nostalgia it doesn't automatically mean that the have a dislike for the present Bond actor!
    Matt S is a 100% right with his post, but I have to ask the question again:
    Connery:gone, Lazenby: gone, Moore:gone, Dalton:gone! so all these years and films don't matter to you just because they're in the past?

    For god's sake people, if you don't have anything good to say just keep it to yourself! X-(

    and btw: "he doesn't matter anymore": maybe you should rethink how to talk about a person (try respect)

    Well, I don't care much for Craig as Bond. I like him in some other roles, but I'm not crazy about his Bond. On the other hand, I'm not one of the many people rushing to replace him either. In the interest of the Bond franchise, I hope Craig sticks with Bond for another film. I understand how much he has helped the Bond films! But in posting this I wasn't saying that I think Brosnan should still be Bond. I put the age limit at 55.

    Don't take everything so seriously. I really didn't mean posting this video to be provocative in any way. I just thought it was interesting and fun to see Brosnan in a different way.

    Thats good to hear..

    We are fans after all. We all want Bond to be successful. Good luck to Mr Craig and Mr Brosnan..

    Only my two cents, but sadly Brosnan got weak scripts, and
    wasn't really given much to do as 007 but look good in a suit,
    and deliver a funny quip, when needed.
    Craig was lucky that when he got the gig, they had decided to
    Go for a more emotional Bond and write scenes, with a bit more
    Depth and meaning to them.
    So I too wish both actors the best of luck, and would love to see
    Brosnan have a big hit, as he's given some great performances.
    We're all Brothers ( some sisters as well) in Bond, so hopefully
    We can have the odd argument, but still kiss and make up. ;)

    I share your thoughts. Brosnan's biggest fault was that he was too stiff as Bond. I don't feel that way about him at all as an actor, but that's how he played Bond most of the time. As you said, "look good in a suit, and deliver a funny quip". By the way he moved, he was mostly just a Brioni model. He did an excellent job at that. He needed a director to tell him to relax!

    And it is. A younger Brosnan with better directing and better scripts - dunno if I'd like him even better than Craig (whom I like a lot but we might also be wrongly giving him credit for these external factors which aren't left to the actors to decide).

    Btw. there's more:

    Brosnan is one of my least favourites, but every now and then I enjoy 'clinging' onto his days because I enjoy all the bond eras, and besides, he was bond when I was growing up!

    Of course Brosnan is too old now, but I still think Eon could have done another film or two with him before he entered Moore territory.

    November Man (ok some people might not like the actual film) but it shows a darker side to Brosnan that could have worked in this era (of course if he was younger)

    Brosnan had charm
    He had style
    No he wasn't Moore
    But damn what a smile
    And could outrun & fight Sir Rog
    By a good country mile
    So haters get a grip
    If you loved Moore's Bond
    Here's a solid tip
    Of Pierce's James you should be fond.
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    I don't think Brosnan would have entered Moore territory. He showed with the November Man that he could do things in his 60s that Moore could never do! Moore aged better than Connery did, but Brosnan aged better than Moore.

    Brosnan could still be playing Bond – he is amongst the best, if not THE Best. But he also knew when to stop. Hope Craig will show the same after Spectre!

    I wonder if Craig hadn't landed the role, and been so good at it
    ( only my opinion, I know others don't think he's good ;) )
    If many who would criticise Brosnan now, would have continued
    to think he was fine as 007 ? As I think one of the problems Pierce
    Has, is that his films were followed by, such a change of direction.
    I know I though Brosnan was Fantastic as Bond, but after seeing CR.
    I thought " Wow, Bond is dangerous again" -{ but I think it's wrong to
    Blame one man for the four films he made. He IMHO did the best with
    what he was given, I doubt Craig would have faired any better with DAD. :))
    After all, many of the same crew who made DAD also made CR. ;)

    Craig would not have made DAD. I see huge rows with Tamahori. Brosnan goes along with any **** they gave him - Craig works with the director, producer to make something better..

    I think until Craig, none of the leading actors had much say on the direction. I believe Dalton was unhappy with some aspects of TLD but couldn't do much about it.

    -1, no he isn't -{

    An interesting thread title which assumes those among us who do not rate Brosnan (& you already know my views on his portrayal of Bond) must 'hate' him.

    Whilst plenty of AJB members have displayed a dislike for PB at varying levels - with me being at DEFCON1 - I would venture to go as far as to say no one actually hates him.

    +1 yes, he is -{

    I just do NOT understand how one can "dislike" somebody for sth he's not in charge of at all.
