My favorite James Bond. He fits the character well: suave, smooth-talking, cocky, witty yet cavalier and deadly but with an underlying gentleness behind his emotional armor. Unfortunately, they didn't write great plots for his Bond films.

I liked living daylights not so much License to Kill. According to some GoldenEye was the first good Bond movie since For Your Eyes Only in 1981. Interesting side note, James Brolin had a screen test for Bond in the early 80s but they called Moore back bc Eon didn't want to risk a new Bond with Connery doing Never Say Never Again.

[@johannataylor5365]

So Beautiful 😍

[@MikeBarbre]

Pierce Brosnan gets a lotta shit for the movies he was in, especially compared to Daniel Craig's re-booted vision. And it's completely unfair. #GoldenEye remains one of the very best Bonds of all time, and it's because it was grittier, more grounded, with the personal stakes that made Craig's Bond so appealing. If Eon Productions and MGM had stayed with the style established in GoldenEye and hadn't completely fucked up the screenplays for Brosnan's last three films, I think Pierce's legacy with the character is A LOT more secure than it is. Don't forget, Brosnan wasn't the weak-link in those films, he was their lone advantage. Because of him, each Brosnan film in the franchise out-grossed the one before. Even more to that point -- GoldenEye broke the James Bond box office record, so you do the math! #BrosnanBond

[@CHAITHANYAkitta]
