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

MOVIE REVIEW: Dante's Peak

RELEASE DATE: February 7th 1997

RUN TIME: 1 Hour 48 Mins

MPAA RATING: PG-13

FAMILY MOVIE SCALE 7.5

MY IMDB SCALE 8


DIRECTOR: Roger Donaldson

MAIN CAST: Pierce Brosnan, Linda Hamilton, Jamie Renee Smith


IMDB SUMMARY
A vulcanologist arrives at a countryside town recently named the second most desirable place to live in America, and discovers that the long dormant volcano, Dante's Peak, may wake up at any moment.

MY REVIEW

This is a awesome disaster movie for the family. As much as it is about disaster it is about a family and loss. This had a great blend of special effects along with a strong story line. The disaster was not the star but Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton was. Because it was about decisions they had to make for survival and saving people from the doomed town. When I say family I am talking parents and adolescent kids. Once the volcano blows it's top it is non stop action and one disaster after another. Jamie Renee-Smith who played the Mayors Racheal(Linda Hamilton) daughter was a real gem, she was the sunshine during the darkest parts of the movie,


MOVIE REVIEW: James Bond: The World is not Enough

RELEASE DATE: November 19th 1999

RUN TIME 2 hours 8 Min

MPAA RATING: PG-13

FAMILY MOVIE SCALE: 5

MY IMDB SCALE: 7.5


DIRECTOR: Michael Apted

MAIN CAST:Pierce Brosnan, Sophie Marceau, Robert Carlyle


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: Die Another Day

RELEASE DATE: November 22nd 2002

RUN TIME: 2 Hours 13Mins

MPAA RATING: PG-13

FAMILY MOVIE SCALE: 5

MY IMDB SCALE: 8.5


DIRECTOR:Lee Tamahori,

MAIN CAST: Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, Rosamund


IMDB STORY LINE
James Bond is sent to investigate the connection between a North Korean terrorist and a diamond mogul, who is funding the development of an international space weapon.


This is one of my favorite Bond films, it has everything, A ton load of action, far out unexplained objects like the mansion made out of ice and the weapon from space. The villains where out of this world and the intense hand to hand combat was awesome. I understand why critics said it was a bit far fetched, but in my opinion, it all fit so well together. The story line flowed so well together. I thought Halle Berry was simply awesome and this was Pierce Brosnan's best bond film.

MOVIE REVIEW: I.T.

RELEASE DATE: September 23rd 2016


DIRECTOR John More

MAIN CAST: Pierce Brosnan, Jason Barry, Karen Moskow



IMDB Story Line

Mike Regan has everything he could ever want, a beautiful family and a top of the line smart house. The company he owns is on the verge of changing flight leasing forever. That is, until the relationship with his I.T. adviser turns nasty, to the point where his teenage daughter is being stalked and his family is under attack through every technological facet of their lives.

WHAT I LIKED

Over all the story idea was good and made perfect sense because of the world we live in today, I liked the way the movie ended, it had a strong satisfying ending that made perfect sense.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE

The movie took forever to get going, I thought it was very slow to explain the plot. Parts where very boring in the first hour of a 1 hour 38 minute movie, it was not until the last 30 minutes of the movie that it got going when it started to truly hold my attention.

SIDE NOTES

I am very glad I did not see this on the big screen, I can not recommend this movie and I usally like anything that Pierce Brosnan stars in.

Movie was not rated according to IMDB, but I would give it a weak R rating because of strong language and one sexual suggestion scene, I would no recommend this as a family movie.

I gave this movie a 3 on IMDB and will not be buying the Blue Ray
