Pierce has been wearing James Bond shoes for almost ten years now, and I liked him better each time around. All his four movies are good, but there's also always a little something that spoils the overall effect a bit: too monotonous Russian sets in GoldenEye, the disappointing finales in both Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough, the disappearing car in Die Another Day. However, DAD happens to be my favourite in the Brosnan bunch: great opening, arguably the best opening titles ever, two wonderful Bond girls, the first ever Bond shagging onscreen, good villains, cool (and various) locations, John Cleese better used than in the previous movie - and so on. Our friend Heineken probably hates the guts of DAD because of the Madonna theme song -  - but personally I have to admit that I liked it in the movie (even though I couldn't believe it's a Bond song when I first saw the video for it). Your votes, guys? |

Our friend Heineken probably hates the guts of DAD because of the Madonna theme song - Okay, cue the Bond theme. So, Mr. Bartwald. We meet again. Muahaahaahaa!! ;D Surprise! My favorite Brosnan Bond flick is DIE ANOTHER DAY! GOLDENEYE would be my 2nd favorite. I didn't even think the Madonna theme song was the worst one ever. Surprisingly, lots of people absolutely hated this movie, we'll be hearing from them later, I'm sure. This one had pretty much everything I would want from a Bond movie. A tough, kick ass Bond, who doesn't take himself too seriously, cough**Timothy Dalton**cough, beautiful women, a cool car & gadgets, John Cleese's expanded role, good villains who aren't cartoony, great action & set pieces. As far as the invisible car, I've never taken any of the Bond films seriously, so why start now? |

Now that's a surprise, Heineken! I thought you'd rather go for GoldenEye or Tomorrow Never Dies... always nice to find out we agree on things, though! And the invisible car? I don't treat Bond movies seriously, either - hence my love for Moonraker, for instance - but this invisibility idea is just a step in the wrong direction, in my opinion. Give me a villain with metal teeth anytime but please stay away from the car, you Bond scriptwriters, will you? |

Definitely "GoldenEye". Not much more for me to say on that.

The main reason being... lemme guess: Famke Janssen? I definitely like her, but that's not the reason. I dunno exactly why I like it, it just felt very well-ploted and just on the hole held together very well. There are some obvious plotholes I could do without, but this film is one of my favorite Bonds, and certainly my favorite of Brosnan's. |

I see Die Another Day as the most entertaining Bond since The Spy Who Loved Me. Not particularly well acted or written, in comparison to the other Brosnan's, and at times a little too over the top, but very entertaining. The sword fight between Bond and Graves is the best Bond fight since From Russia With Love. I think Miranda Frost was one of the best Bond girls ever. My only major complaints about Die Another Day are for the theme song (sounded like a cheesy Real McCoy dance tune fron 1993).

I think Miranda Frost was one of the best Bond girls ever. Yes, she was! So cold and yet so sexy! When I start thinking of it, though, it's difficult for me to find a Bond girl I didn't like... Except for Grace Jones, maybe - but she wasn't so much of a 'Bond' girl, really. And you guys? Dislike any? |

I'm with GoldenEye. I think it was the relief of finally getting rid of Dalton and having Sean Bean as a villian. Then, I think it went back to more of the espionage days of the originals with Connery. Sure, there was action, but it was overdone in the other 3 Bond films.
Brosnan's worst would have to be Tomorrow Never Dies. It was just...dumb. And it even had Jonathan Pryce. But I don't think he makes a good villain anyways, he's always seemed the SAM of Brazil to me.
