I Agree With Pierce Brosnan, But I really Like Daniel Craig as 007!

It seems That Pierce Brosnan is not a big fan of the Daniel Craig Bond movies, and while I agree with his opinions , I am still a fan of Daniel Craig. The newer Bond films are a bit more serious then any other of the old Bond movies. I have several favorite old Bond movies that include Brosnan, But how can you not like what Daniel Craig has brought to the Bond role. It is a darker bond and more believable story lines. My two favorite older Bond movies are 1979 Moonraker staring the late Roger Moore and Die Another Day with Brosnan.

Both where very far fetched and took a stretch of the imagination to find believable. I really like it when a writer and director and twist your imagination so hard you can believe anything and put you in that world,

I can not find fault with any of Daniel Craig's Bond movies. You see the vulnerability of 007, and you get a sense that he might not make it out of a bad situation. This was never more truer then when "M" Died in Skyfall. Even though you knew Craig was coming back for another Bond movie I felt he could die. That is good movie making! And Spectra is my Favorite of Daniel Craig.

But I am still a fan of Pierce Brosnan, and will continue to watch for him and anything he plays. There has been a couple of his movies I did not like, But for the most part he will always be a great actor.

I am not sure I agree with this video, but it gives a good retrospect

IMDB STORY LINE
James Bond uncovers a nuclear plot when he protects an oil heiress from her former kidnapper, an international terrorist who can't feel pain.

This was Pierce Bronsnan's best Bond film, but not my favorite. In my opinion the writers knew that the Bond films where going to go much darker with the next actor to play Bond. This was another movie transitioning to that Bond roll. We find Bond getting beaten up a bit more then previous Bond movies. We have always seen Bond in a fight, but he was taking more of a beating here. This seemed more darker then Licence to Kill. However the story line was classic Bond. A lot of fast passed action and impossible battles. Bronsnan was at his best, in fact this could be his best film ever but not the Bond film I like him best in nor my favorite Bronsnan movie. However The World is not Enough was a fine addition to the Bond Collection.

MOVIE REVIEW: James Bond: Licence to Kill

RELEASE DATE: July 14th 1989

RUN TIME: 2 Hours 13 Mins

MPAA RATING: PG-13

FAMILY MOVIE SCALE: 5

MY IMDB SCALE: 8.5

DIRECTOR: John Glen

MAIN CAST: Timothy Dalton, Robert Davi, Carey Lowell

IMDB STORY LINE
James Bond goes rogue and sets off to unleash vengeance on a drug lord who tortured his best friend, a C.I.A. Agent, and left him for dead and murdered his bride after he helped capture him.

This was Timothy Dalton's 2nd and last time as James Bond. This is when they started to darken the role of James Bond as he goes rogue in a plot of revenge for his C.I.A friend. In many aspects you can see how this was more like the recent Bond films with Danial Craig. I think Dalton played a better darker Bond then his successor Pierce Bronsnan did. Bronsnan played a great Bond but would have been better between The Late Roger Moore and Dalton. However in a world of contracts and negotiations that most likely would not have happened. Timothy I think however got us ready for a Daniel Craig type Bond. I don't have a problem with any of the men that played Bond, they all had a specific style they brought to the roll.

The darker plot was a excellent transition from the previous Bond by Dalton The Living Daylights Because you saw a more lighthearted Bond to a Bond filled with vengeance in Licence to Kill. Bond was hurt and upset and wanted justice at any cost. He did not care about the rules. Much like Daniel Craig but not the same as Craig.

This is my Favorite of the Bond films That Dalton was in and in my top five Bond films. But I really do like all the bond films. 

MOVIE REVIEW: James Bond: Moonraker

RELEASE DATE: June 29th 1979

RUN TIME: 2 Hour 6 min

MPAA Rating: PG

DIRECTOR: Lewis Gilbert

MAIN CAST: Roger Moore, Lois Chiles, Michael, Lonsdale

IMDB Story Line
James Bond investigates the mid-air theft of a space shuttle, and discovers a plot to commit global genocide.

This is one of my all time favorite Bond movies, it did very well at the box office. The special effects at the time of release where top notch. However if you watch it today with all the recent James Bond, Marvel, Star Wars movies and other big budget movies you might cringe a little. Still Bond delivers a fast paced action movie and saves the world from disaster again. With the concept of using the space shuttles, Bond takes our imagination to the possibility of living in space, not on a planet, but in a totally man made environment. This movie does that in the short term future. I remember seeing this at the theater when it first come out, it was a real treat.
