After a six year absence following Timothy Dalton's brief stint as 007, James Bond returned in 1995 in the guise of Pierce Brosnan. Here are my thoughts on Brosnan's Bond tenure:
GOLDENEYE - Although Casino Royale is currently being hailed as a successful reinvention and reboot of the Bond series, it's easy to forget that Goldeneye was released to exactly the same reception eleven years earlier. The film is good in almost every respect, benefiting from an original plot and some great acting from the likes of Brosnan, Sean Bean and Judi Dench. It also deserves credit for spawning the classic N64 videogame. 9/10
TOMORROW NEVER DIES - Solid film; a bit smoother round the edges than Goldeneye. The plot sounds like the writers were trying to tackle a serious issue (it concerns the amount of power held by the media) but were a bit ham-fisted in going about it. Jonathan Pryce's Rupert Murdoch-esque villain plans to start World War Three, so that he can have "exclusive broadcasting rights" for all of China (I'm not exactly sure how doing the first thing would enable him to do the second. And isn't he rich enough to simply buy out his Chinese competitors?). A good, if slightly familar, addition to the series. 7/10
THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH - A really good Bond film, featuring what is arguably Brosnan's finest performance as 007. Like Goldeneye, it features a very original plot, allowing for more character development than usual. Denise Richards isn't as terrible as some would have you believe, and there are also strong performances from Sophie Marceau, Robert Carlyle and the dependable Judi Dench. The only real weak point is the finale, which finds Bond stumbling around in a leaky capsized submarine, but otherwise this is a strong effort. 8/10
DIE ANOTHER DAY - Brosnan's last Bond film, also the most overblown and ludicrous film in the series. The plot makes Moonraker look like a documentary, as Bond (driving an invisible car) battles a villain (who lives in an ice palace) who is threatening the world with a laser satellite that "harnesses the power of the sun" (which I'm sure was the slogan for those Sunny Delight energy drinks back in the '90s). Underneath all this, however, it is intresting to note that the basic premise of the story is straight from the pages of Ian Fleming's Moonraker, and you have to admit that Q's explanation of the science behind the invisible car actually makes some sense. It may be ridiculous, but Die Another Day is also very fun. 8/10
Well, I hope that was helpful. All of the DVDs are two-disc ultimate editions, packed with intersting extras.

This is a really good way of getting 4 films of Pierce to watch over and over again. You can never get enough of Pierce as Bond.

Overrated
Now it has been over 7 years since he left bond, looking back upon his movies I can safely say they were and he was way overrated. Read more
