I know that you are joking, but you bringing up Austin Powers raises a serious issue.  Many people say that the success of the Bourne series made the Bond people reconsider their direction, but I think that Austin Powers was the bigger reason.  I get the feeling that the producers of the Bond series watched Austin Powers and asked themselves if this is what people really thought of their latest movies.

One of the best Bond movies, Brosnan is the best Bond ever

For some reason, I thought this was a review of The World Ends With You. I still haven't played that game.

I know that you took Moore's side when making the comparisons between him and Brosnan. But you have mentioned that Moore wasn't your most favourite Bond, so I wasn't too sure what you meant by the whole "Roger Moore Lite" thing. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

I'm not saying that Brosnan is the best Bond, or that he's exactly like Sean Connery and Roger Moore. For me, Brosnan just sits in the middle of my list, because he never really filled the shoes of Moore or Connery properly. I did like him in GoldenEye, and wish that the producers would have built up from that film. But instead, they just decided to tinker and experiment with Brosnan, and as a result, he would never really reach his full potential. Brosnan himself even admitted that he never hit the nail on the head with his approach to Bond. While he may be at fault for certain things, I would still put a large part of the blame on the producers, because of the reasons I mentioned before. 

GoldenEye brought the Moore/Connery or classic Bond feel back, with a modern twist. This is why I felt that Brosnan could have been good/balanced Bond. 

For the record, I liked the portrayal of every Bond actor but Brosnan so it's not like I just dislike him because he's new.

So I've seen a few people in this thread say that they liked this movie but not many reasons why. This isn't exactly helping your case.

I really liked the action scenes, I thought the first half an hour was phenomenal and I thought the villians were great too.

I did like the boat chase, but that's about it.  The Q scene was great and...  I got nothin'.

Hey, at least you defended the movie with your opinion and I can respect that.

I just posted a quick something to show you that I liked this movie, I don't think I did a very good job at defending my opinion. I would have wrote more but I'm tired and a little busy. I've been meaning to write to you about all the Bond films but I've been tied up with exams.

I was a kid when this one went out, I didn't expected much from a movie, and Brosnan was the first Bond I watched, then I wouldn't hit that movie that hard. As Ryan said, if it's on TV I'd probably give it a try. I liked the review, it's indeed a bad movie. Maybe I wouldn't give it a 0 as I don't know much of the whole series, a shame, I really need to start watching the previous films.

Now, I need to go into your history, to read the Tomorrow Never Dies review.
