    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..

    do you really think that Craig would have quit the job if he had to do DAD?!
    come on, be serious ;) everybody would've went with it because everything else would be unprofessional!!!

    They would have been rows between him and Tamahori. Tamahori would have lost. Keeping the billion pound Bond would be a priority..

    It was Tamahori who pushed for DADs wretchedness. The cgi, the one liners, the fourth rate story - it was all down to him. I suppose Brosnan didn't have any choice in the way they were written

    Craig has. he has extensive input. It was him who got Javier Bardem on board for Skyfall..

    They wouldn't have made the same films. The films would have been tailored towards Craig..

    I think we can all agree that we all have our favourite Bonds -{
    but must also accept, that even those we may not like as much
    Will have their fans too. -{ and feel the need to defend their
    " Bond", when they feel he's being ( I don't want to use the term attacked
    as it's too hate filled a word ) so, ...... disparaged. ;)
    It all leads to some good debates, and if not a change of opinion. Then at
    Least a little understanding of why we hold these views. {[]

    Well said, TP, this is a good debate with plenty of room for solid argument.

    However, no more of the "yes he is, no he isn't" please! As stag says, that road goes nowhere.

    It's an Odd feeling, perhaps only fans can identify with. I regard
    Pierce as bottom of the list as Bond, but I also will defend him when
    others run him down a little. :)) ( or I'm just crazy) :D it's the same
    With Sir Roger, I love the guy, ( but there were better 007s") yet as soon
    as I read a post against him. I feel compelled to post something in his defence
    I guess it's call love. :p :))

    Like Moore, I don't feel Brosnan was as brutal as the others but that I definitely feel comes down to the direction. He only had one noteworthy fight, against Trevelyan.

    I put this largely down to the direction and and choreography. I back this up by comparing this to the pathetic fight Connery puts against Oddjob and Bambi and Thumper. Ok Oddjob is strong, but it's just boring to have him throw Bond around over and over. Maybe Oddjob is powerplaying but doesn't it more interesting. On the other hand, the direction against Peter Franks and Red Grant are excellent.

    So I believe given better direction, Brosnan would have been more convincing as a brutal, cold secret agent. Perhaps not to Fleming's literary Bond, but a cool spy popular with audiences at the time. Even as it stands now, he sure got me hooked onto Bond as a kid.

    I've been reconsidering his movies, and I feel in looks and moves best in TND.

    before I join stag in nowheresville, I say: he is the best FOR ME!!! {:)
    but the usuall answer is as always: everybody's got his own personal view on certain matters and that's ok, so this debate is leading to nowhere.
    maybe the title of this thread is a bit dreadful and got matters heated up,too? -{

    Why would you want PB back when we now have Craig who is doing a ten times better job.

    I don't think anyone is suggesting to brink Brosnan back. He's in his 60s now.

    {[] wonderful video, amazing how they can put these things
    together. :)

    The attention to detail is awesome! Some people clearly have too much time on their hands.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Is " Nowheresville" twined with " Spectreville' ? ;)
    I do think Matt S, posted the video as a bit of fun ( I know I enjoyed it) -{

    Could be, but I'd put it down to the clumsiness of the written word, as
    Opposed to the spoken, as we lose so much of the delivery of those words
    I'm sure it was not meant to cause any uproar, just a fan defending his view
    of a favoured actor. -{ Which I'm sure we can all respect and even identify
    with.

    Brosnan makes it in to my list of the top three fights in the Bond series.
    FRWL, train fight.
    CR, stairwell fight
    GE, Bond v Trevelyan
    All fantastic, brutal fights, so well choreographed that they look real.
    Like two men trying to kill each other with their bare hands. -{

    I'd say a " Dance off" would sort it out, like the Jets and the Sharks. ;)
    Whenever you see a bunch of fellas coming up the crouched over, clicking
    their fingers. You know there's going to be a rumble. :D

    stag what is your problem? as you can see (post no.43) I wanted to end it but you always dig up the discussion about PB !
    I just found WW's response (post no.51) uncalled for and unresonable, so I answered with a Brosnan pic.
    and please don't say I want to win over somebody by simply expressing my thoughts (like you do, too). simples.

  • HatThrowingHenchmanHatThrowingHenchman Russia With LovePosts: 1,834MI6 Agent
    ok seems we're not getting out of this so I'll leave it at that.
    but one last question remains: is post no.51 appropriate? (don't worry I won't respond to your answer ;) )

    Btw: I've added quotation marks to my pic post so that it should appear that Mr.Brosnan was thinking that while making the gesture.

    All I know is GE & TND are two of my favourite Bonds. They both just put a big ole smile on my face. -{
