    I get not liking the Dalton ones -- the scripts were rubbish. I get not liking the Moore ones -- they were camp. And the Connery redux is awful. But the original Connery ones? You crazy -- that's the motherlode right there. Connery in From Russia with Love and Goldfinger IS the essence of Bond.

    Plus the most recent ones have been no great shakes. Sky Fall was infantile; Quantum of Solace was a mess that didn't work; Spectre was a mess that kinda sorta worked. The first 3/4s of Craig's Casino Royale were great but the end was ridiculous. Craig has not yet delievered a truly great Bond movie even though I'd say he is the second best Bond after Sean.

      I have a hard time watching the old Bond movies when they try showing off these guys using "future tech" that's just so far off the mark it's not even laughable, just cringe worthy. Goldeneye was fun, nothing great, but it spawned perhaps the greatest first-person shooter I've ever played. So that gets it points.

            Brosnan's Goldeneye is the essence of Bond as well. Then they went full Dalton on the succeeding scripts and ruined him. I actually am going to agree with you on everything above.

              I enjoyed Brosnan's Bonds. The "sculpture cemetery" is one of the best Bond scenes of all time.

                      Goldeneye was great. And Brosnan was my Bond. Had the look, the style, the smoothness, the smarminess, it was great.

                        Outside of Goldeneye Brosnan sucked as Bond...and the franchise truly jumped the shark when Denise Richards played a nuclear physicist. "Christmas comes twice a year..."

                          I agree on Denise. Oh, she has glasses! She's smart!

                              Brosnan's, IMO, go downhill in the order of his films. TND is almost as good as Goldeneye. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade ruined the last two Brosnan films by making the scripts just terrible one liners (See above: Christmas comes twice a year.)

                              The Daniel Craig films are falling into the same pattern as of late, but are doing okay despite Neal Purvis and Robert Wade thanks to Craig's more dark portrayal.

                                Brosnan wasn't at fault for the crappy movies; he was fine. He, like Moore, got stuck with some absolutely awful scripts. Connery couldn't have saved the steaming pile that was Die Another Day.
