Dartful Dodger:
It wasn't Brosnan's fault.  Bond is dated.  The idea of a secret agent saving the world is laughable. That's why the Austin Powers spoofs are so funny.

Umm, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since you aren't in America, but calling a dude "hard" will get you your ass kicked over here.   :laugh2:

I agree that it wasn't Brosnan's fault (not entirely anyway).  He's a good enough actor.  It's much more the fault of the writer and director.

The newest Mission Impossible is a perfect example of how you're wrong about Bond simply being dated. 

Scary Movie successfully spoofed scary movie cliches, but that doesn't mean that scary movies can't be good.  For that matter, the idea of man with super strength who can shoot and swing from webs is pretty laughable.  Doesn't mean the concept can't make for a good movie if written and directed well.

Anyway, it looks like this James Bond is good.  It's at 92% on the tomatometer with more than 25 reviews which is a good sign.

shardian:
The latter Brosnan Bond movies were horribly commercialized- Product placement everywhere. People no longer took them seriously as movies.

I thought Die Another Day was ok. Goldeneye was pretty good. The one with the Crouching Tiger Lady was the WORST with product placement.
