Favourite James Bond Films: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible and any upcoming action films starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good because he'll need it to expand his reputation as an actor, especially in the action realm)

Brosnan was a youthful 42, surely he would make 6 Bond movies. Alas, our dreams never came true. What EON did to Pierce is what Rick Berman did to the TNG crew.

I'm glad EON DID THAT ;D BROSNAN was the first actor to get sack by the producer to continue play Bond. Before him every actor decline by their own to play it again while BROSNAN, desperately wanted to do more...bus asking too much and got his price (being sacked)

Since you hate Brosnan, does that mean you would say no to Christian Bale for Bond whether he got the role in BB or not?

I think Brosan was sacked by Barbara to make way for Craig more than anything. Once she took over she wanted to call all the shots.

Not sure if BB would do the same thing again. With the amount of controversy, negativity and divided opinion amongst society in general back in 2005. Things have quietened down now. Most of the public have resigned themselves to the fact that DC is here to stay.
I know Craig fans will point to the box office and the (OTT) reviews of CR. But that was expected. QOS & DC's one dimensional performance in it has knocked the wind out of their sales a bit. Now BB & co have to do a TSWLM and get Bond back on track. Easier said than done. Where is Cubby when you need him ?

The public loved Connery & Moore, but were not too upset when they stopped being Bond. Knowing that both actors had made several Bond movies and had chosen to step down.
The public also loved Brosnan and had got used to him.Hhe had become Bond for a new generation. After four Bond movies he was growing in confidence, improving and still looked good. There were still avenues to take him down. Five or six movies and there really could be a debate about whether Brosnan was better than Moore or Connery. The public have a right to feel aggreived that his tenure was abruptly cut short, not after 1 or 2 Bond movies, but after establishing himself in four Bond movies.

Cubby would have used Brosnan better and made about six Brosnan Bonds. Barbara Broccoli is keen to make six or seven with Daniel Craig, but he limits what you can do with Bond.

If you don't believe Pierce can handle tough and dark characters, go watch Taffin, The Fourth Protocal, The Tailor of Panama, or The Matador.

At the end of PB's Bond's career in mi6, he gets killed by Razzies Award, having stabbed though his heart after seeing his Bond' movies Bland.
