Brozzer was fine; I never fail to be entertained by even the least of his Bond work. Just as each actor does his part by keeping the character and franchise alive, so Brosnan did his.

"Screw 'em." - Daniel Craig, The Best James Bond EverTM
Not me, I like it for the fact of
- New Bond
- A Fellow 00-Agent
- Cold War Plot
- Tank Chase
- Sean Bean (Alec) Great Villain
- A Villain's Headquarters
- Good Lines like 'Back from the dead James ...'
- Valentin Zuckovsky
And lots of other things, that make a good Bond film -{
But I hate the game....

that may take some time, so don't hurry
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I think the film stands up on its own. I've never played the game but still am a big fan of the movie. Although recently I've begun to notice that certain stuff in the plot makes very little sense, but regardless of that Goldeneye is grand entertainment.
Brosnan was a good Bond - rate him third behind Connery and Craig. I think his biggest trouble is that the films he appeared in were not that great, especially Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day. He has a good screen presence, charm, looks and the ability to show a hard edge, although he didn't do this often enough.
I can clearly see how much the person who started this thread disliked Brosnan - the spelling is quite interesting to say the least.
My only problem with it was the psychoanalysing; M's 'dexist, misogynist dinosaur' speech, Alec's asking Bond whether the Vodka Martinis drown out the screams of all the men that he killed and Natayla's asking Bond why he's like that, or words to the effect.
Indeed.
I don't know where the Brosnan hatred's coming from. I'm with you guys - I enjoy ALL the films and ALL the lead actors.
Live & Let Die - 1973
Everyone doesnt hate Brosnan, idk Y you would say that.
My biggest problem with it is the score.
I like all the actors to have played Bond in different ways, as I like all the films (or have liked before watching them to death!) for different reasons. I feel sorry for any Bond fan who can't take something objective away from a certain Bond and his films. It leaves rather a large and unfulfilled gap in their obsession.

Also Bond is supposed to be the best dressed man in the room Brosnan is except when he wears a tuxedo, his bow ties are huge and ugly, seriously bond should wear thin ties(IMO), thats why(IMO) Connery looked bad when he wore the thick bow tie in DAF he looked bad.
Charles Bronson was almost James bond?
Seriously though, no actor who has played Bond has been a disaster in the role (well, maybe Woody Allen...) and every one of them has brought something worthwhile to the character.
I liked Brosnan's Bond a lot, especially his earlier films where he brought a good mix of humor and toughness to the role. That portrayal really dovetailed well with my sensibilities and GE is one of my favorite Bond movies and Brosnan's best outing for my money.
About the only complaint I'd level at him is that he seemed to take the role a little too seriously as his tenure went along and that always didn't fit the tone of the film he was in. I'm sure he was frustrated that he never got to make the kind of Bond movie that he wanted but his efforts are all still entertaining and worthwhile to me.
IMO, Brosnan was an excellent Bond. His physical appearance, in my eyes, is close to Fleming's Bond, his demeanor was about what I would expect of Bond too. He was able to convey a devotion for the job, while dismissive of the bureacracy involved at times. He also displayed on screen a love and passion for women, which Fleming's Bond have. He was able to handle the physical parts of the role, while still delivering the one liner (although some of them were terrible jokes). I also give him high marks for how he promoted Bond to prospective audiences, I think he was the best at that. Finally, I really believe he almost saved the second half of DAD with his sheer screen presence. Imagine any other of the Bond actors riding the rocket ice boat as CGI lights beams tried to stop them, riding the ice boat wreckage with a sail in front of a blue screen pretending those same CGI beams are about to kill them, or pantomiming his entrance into an invisible car. As bad as the script for the second half of DAD was, Brosnan darn near pulled it off. Not sure any other Bond actor would have done as well.
However...
If he were to come round my house, at two in the morning, and start knocking on my door, then letting himself in with the key under the mat, then helping myself to my best brandy, fondling my bird THEN FLINGING ALL MY FAVE BOND DVDS ABOUT AND NOT TREATING THEM WITH THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE, I'D GO OY, BROSNAN, NO!
