Pierce Brosnan

No one will ever equal Connery in the eyes of most Bond fans, but Pierce is my personal favorite.  Sean and Pierce are the only two who were/ are a real-life James Bond...at least when it comes to the ladies.

Brosnan wasn't bad at all- but he had the misfortune of bad timing. Some of his Bond films represent the weaker elements of the franchise. In the hands of a better set of directors, I think he would be better remembered. Still, I can't cast stones towardsf Brosnan - easily a serviceable Bond.

Brosnan didn't convince me as Bond, or at least not the new Bond he represented when GoldenEye was released. I skipped all the rest of the films he starred in and, up until recently, let his legacy taint the recent Daniel Craig Bond films as well, skipping them as well. He certainly did his part to bring the Bond franchise to women who found him attractive, but from what I recall, that was pretty much isolated to the 40+ set. Personally, I found Brosnan dull and uninspired as James Bond...a faint shadow of Connery with very little reinvention. Of course he couldn't fill those shoes, yet he seemed to try anyhow instead of making the role his own. The only good that came from the Brosnan Bond films were the surprisingly fun videogames based on the franchise, and that alone seemed to inspire interest in the franchise from a broad population of people who hadn't grown up with the originals. People my age weren't seeing the films, but we were anxiously awaiting the release of the games, ... Read more

He's not bad, and a quantum leap better than Dalton or Moore, but he often seems too effete for the cold blooded killer that Bond really is.

He's handsome and stylish, with great personality. Attractive and always cool in the movies James Bond. The character he carry look real and full of action.

Pierce Brosnan has been a great james Bond and if it was not for Sean Connery he would be the best. so lets give credit to mister Brosnan while he is no Sean Connery (none of us are) he does a steller job.

I don't think Pierce Brosnan was the best Bond, but he was definitely the most handsome Bond.

Brosnan got ripped off by a whimp, Craig makes a lousy Bond.

These were good movies in that they finally have developed the technology to make truly spectacular Bond films. The need to make every relationship that Bond has meaningful is a poor trend that is a side effect of the modern world. Brosnan is the hardest drinking bond which was interesting to see explored. All in all adequate but not spectacular.

He's my second choice--Sean takes first.  It's always hard to beat the original

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Connery was the best , Brosnan would have been best if he was first, Moore was not a spy he was a joke.

You gotta be kidding! A man of action superspy would never be such a narcissist.He'd get shot dead staring in the mirror!

Brosnan's appeal as Bond is totally lost on me. The worst Bond by a mile in my opinion. The action sequences were so clearly watered down for Brosnan and he never appeared willing to put as much effort into them as Dalton, Connery and Lazenby. He always almost seemed as if he was worried a hair might fall out of place or his concealer might smudge. Brosnan also lacks their sex appeal (too pretty and rather slightly built). Neither could he deliver the straight lines with the same menace as them or the comic lines with the humour of Moore. I eagerly await Daniel Craig's portrayal who I feel is capable of putting the toughness back into Bond or at the very least can act his way out of a paper bag.

i give him five stars because the last two bond movie was very good and entertaining.i enjoy watching them alot.this actor Mr brosnan is right for this roll.

He lacks the masculinity of Connery, Dalton and Lazenby and the comic timing of Moore .......... which leads me to ask was it a slow day at the casting agency when they hired this guy?

Worst Bond ever in my opinion. He took the character back 20 years, played it as a hybrid of all his predecessors and added nothing to the role.

The worst Bond ever in my opinion. At least Roger Moore was supposed to be humorous. This guy's portrayal is just laughable without trying.

Ridiculous choice for Bond. Far too puny for a start. He looks like a shop window dummy and has all the acting skills and charisma of one too.

I think Brosnan was good as James bond. He looks good in video games and i would like Brosnan to be in Casino Royale!

He is so great and handsome! We want him to be James Bond!

Its the best 007

i thought he was gr8

He's really lame, dull, boring, and generic as Bond.

In my opinion, Brosnan is definetly the best looking and sexiest Bond. If I were ever to be a Bond girl, I would want to be a Brosnan Bond girl. However, his performance overall is just not as good as Connery.

At times he seems to try to hard. Seems kinda skinny to be Bond.

WOW!...he's a bold and sexy Bond!

Me being relatively young I would place Pierce Brosnan at the top of the bond list. I admit I haven't seen much of Connery as Bond. Brosnan just seems to be born to play Bond he IS Bond and when he is gone it will be difficult if impossible to see anyone else as Bond. He has the looks, the suave manerism and the intelligence that Bond should have, he is perfect.

If you gotta replace Connery with someone to play Bond, Brosnan isn't too bad. Brosnan fits the bill pretty well as to what a contemporary version of the 1960's Bond ought to be. More and more special effects in the Bond movies mean that the acting caliber can slide a little. All in all, he's OK, but doesn't convey the magnetism that Connery did.

The forth best James Bond.

different good than connery but still awesome in his own way

In my opinion, Pierce Brosnan comes in third on the list of actors to play James Bond. The primary problem is that he started too late and has already started to age out of the part. The latter Bond films rely too much on action and special effects which doesn't suit his relatively smaller frame and makes the movies too similar to any other action film. As other comments have noted, Broasnan's first Bond movie GoldenEye (1995) was his best and had the strongest script, so perhaps he has suffered from inferior material. Nevertheless, one more film and then the producers should start looking for a replacement. Pierce Brosnan was born on May 16, 1952 in County Meath, Ireland.

Brosnan comes in as second best. Connery in first of course because he is the orriginal. Pierce makes a great modern version though, making him a close second.

This guy is ruining Bond. He is a horribly bad Bond. I can't wait for him to quit. He went from being a tooth pick of a wimp in GoldenEye, to a old man in TWINE, then to a fat slob in DAD. All the while in all of his films managing to look like the biggest wimp in the movie. Brosnan's bone structure is so small it just is not right for him to be playing Bond. But aside from that, he just can't play the role at all. His performance is plain awful.

His style, in my opinion, is more similar to Roger Moore. I think the only knock against him is that only one of the Bond movies he has starred has been good quality and that was Goldeneye. The others were average if not below average. That's not so much Brosnan's fault as much as it is below average script and directing.

Middle of the road. Behind Connery and Moore but miles ahead of Dalton and Lazenby. He's also the handsomest Bond, but there is something a little off about it. I mean, Roger Moore was very nudge-nudge wink-wink, but never directly at the camera. Brosnan is too self-consciously suave and smarmy.

He has revitalized an ailing franchise, and his movies are top drawer, but he's a bit too pretty for my liking. Bond should be a cold-blooded bastard from time to time, and Remington Steele just can't pull that off.

No one will ever Beat Sean Connery, but he comes close

He seems to be trying to hard, as if this Bond can't really have fun, and he's too politically correct. And I can't see him really holding his own against Jaws or Oddjob

A way distant #2 to Connery.

Rose to fame playing a fraud. Today, a fraudulent 007. Only Moore's shameless silliness keeps him from the bottom of the gun barrel.

He looks perfect. And he is so powerful in Die Another Day. Amazing stunts and Bond interpretation.

Pierce is quite good as the all-new James Bond. I likes him alot in Goldeneye and Tommorrow Never Dies. At that point, he was the best James Bond, but in World Is Not Enough, his performance was only sub-par. He seemed to try to be like a clone of Sean Connery.

The second best Bond after Sean Connery.

Handsome, suave, sophisticated I'll grant you. But something just does not ring quite right with him in this part. He's a little small boned IMO to pull it off. Requires someone with a little more meat on his bones...insist on the original!

He's really suave and really sexy! I love the way he makes james bond look daring and bold with a little twist! I think he's a really great actor and I think he makes the perfect james bond and I like him in all his other movies!

Thought he should have been the next Bond the first time I saw him on Remington Steele. He has not dissappointed me.

Twenty years ago, when he was Remington Steele, some people said he could be the next James Bond. What a joke, we thought, they'd never cast such a wimp in Sean Connery's role. Well, we were wrong. They did. A huge mistake. If his Bond pictures are popular, they'd be even more so with a "proper" James Bond. Too much "smooth", not enough "grit".

as james bond he puts too much into it, he seems to try to portray a hard up CIA look when bond was really a strong and somewhat playful type always trying to make the wise crack. peirce seems a bit slender and lacks something james always tried to maintain a smile and true sense of sick humor. not to mention who ever has written the last of the james bond films has recently obtained a writers stupidity, trying to add action that never could be physically possible
