Everybody I know talks about Sean Connory as being the ideal James Bond but when I think about James Bond I think Pierce Brosnan...I read all of the Ian Flemming novels and I love the James Bond story. What a shame they got a blond guy to be James Bond...I was pretty upset when I heard that Brosnan would no longer be James Bond.

Yes, I like him much better now. I think, at this point, he was just starting to see fame, and had to adjust to it. -- a little bit of ego here!

@andyrooney12 No you are wrong Pierce Brosnan looks like the ideal Bond in terms of his image but if you read closely to the Novels you would know that Daniel craig is much closer to the character of james bond than people give him credit for Brosnan was good in his day but his age has passed now weather Bond is blonde or not has nothing to do with how the character acts or behaves.

I have always had a sneaking suspiscion that Pierces' career is really down to his looks. His personality isnt great in this.

@andyrooney12 The way Bond is described is practically a word-for-word description of Pierce Brosnan, particularly the way he was doing his hair in the eighties so it fell into a vertical 'comma' on his right side.

The way they let Pierce Brosnan go was totally classless. They gave him the most bullshit script ever, he acted in it dutifully, Brosnan was always solid as Bond, and then they just replaced him when they really should've given him a decent script and a second chance.

@17jun1989 Dalton was great. Brosnan was great. Brosnan was better. But MGM marketing department has a nasty habit of scapegoating the last guy to play Bond as the reason why the franchise hadn't particularly sold. The reason Dalton's films didn't sell wasn't because he was bad, but because viewers were really burnt out after it having been crapfest after crapfest with Roger Moore. Their scapegoating of Pierce for Die Another Day was just classless. After all, he didn't write it.

@andyrooney12 I completely agree with that. Pierce Brosnan is the best James Bond there ever was. craig has absolutely nothing on Pierce Brosnan

@jamajezzie so your saying pierce would've played license to kill?

[Riddler95]

Same here.

Brosnan has amazing charm, you don't see it a lot of his films where he tended to downplay his confident side, but when he played Remington Steele he could really do charm like few actors ever have.

[jamajezzie]

would have been Bond in the 80's if stupid NBC and the show Remington Steele would have let him out of his contract. They told Bronson he could do Bond because they cancelled Remington Steele but at the last minute they changed their minds, decided not to cancel it. So he was stuck. NBC did that chit just to screw him because after Remington was uncancelled they only did a couple of episodes and then cancelled it for good. By the time they did this another actor had already got cast as bond.

Its so sad that she died.
