What?? While I don't think he's that bad of an actor (not to play bond though), he's not the next Bond. Daniel Craig is.
What are you talking about? Do you think that actors are the one's who decide what to say, and how to say what they're saying. No, not completely. No matter how Honored a role you are playing, or how excited you are, if you're working for someone (in this case a company) that has so many fixes and doesn't allow any room for anything other than what they think will be good, I doubt you're going to be to enthutiastic or thrilled about doing that role.
And how do you know Moore or Connery were even passionate about doing it to begin with? What, just because they each did so many films? No, maybe it was the pay. Maybe they got to hook up with the women as they were filming. Who knows. Unless you've sat down with them and heard the reason why, stop assuming so much just by listening, watching or reading from the media.
Stop being so ignorant and look at it from EVERYONE'S angle.
I quite enjoyed Pierce Brosnan as 007. Timothy D was horrible = My 2 Cents.
All Im saying is that he acted nothing at all different than he did when he was on remington steele which is totally inexcusable for an actor.Just like on Remington Steele,his line delivery was horrible as I feared it would be.as I said before,me and a friend of mine were watching that movie and we saw a lquip of his he delivered and we were like-see that line should have been funny.If it had been Connery or Moore delivering that line it would have been hilarious.THEY knew something about delivering comic lines in Bond movies unlike Brosnan who thought he was still on remington steele.

Connery and Moore is too old to play as another Bond. And beside's Brosnan did a good role as Bond, It's not his fault the Director's put short and crappy lines on his script.
Well whether or not you think the script, delivery of lines or even the action in itself are funny, everyone has their own opinion of what's funny, lame, good, back etc. etc. For example, you could watch a video of someone getting hit by a car. Some people are going to go "aw man, that sucks, I can't believe that happened - how horrible" & some people could be laughing their asses off.
I myself have not seen Remington Steele. I have seen other movies in which Brosnan has acted and I must admit, he usually caries himself with the same demeanor. Usually says things the same, does things similiarly, as if it was just him doing it, rather than the character he's trying to portray. With that said, I do not believe he did anything wrong as Bond. There's a reason they picked him for Bond. And I believe part of that reason is b/c maybe they saw how similar he is to a Bond. He's charming, has wit, the ladies love him, often times acts before thinking. Most of the characters he plays usually are those types of people. Maybe there's a reason for that...
Connery & Moore could not play Bond again. The only way that that could ever happen is if they did something where he's already retired and he's with his wife and maybe a bad guy who wants revenge captures his wife...something like that. And even then, why am I talking about this, it's not even a matter of them replaying the role.
wow I take back everything I said about Brosnan being the worst Bond ever other than Lazenby.I saw The Davinci Code on the fourth and they showed previews of the new Bond movie before the movie started and I got to say Craig takes the honor over Brosnan as the worst Bond ever.Craig is an old grey haired Man. While Brosnan did a horrible job in his line deliverys,-he always seemed like he was just there because he had to be there and didnt want to be,he at LEAST looked the part.Craig an old grey haired man does NOT look like Bond.
they say they're replacing brosnan because he's getting too old, but craig looks so much older than brosnan. if connery wasn't so old i'd say they should bring him back. his accent is fun to listen to.

1.)Connery(best Bond, played the role the best, he started it)
2.)Timothy Dalton(A serious Bond, no little comedic quirks, but hey, that's what made Moore fail)
3.)Brosnan(He was GREAT in Goldeneye, the movie was well written, but he gets #3 because of the horrible writers for all of his other Bond films)
4.)George Lazenby(he gets up here simply because anything is better than Roger Moore)
5.)Roger Moore(The WORST, he tried to be Comedic(he failed), he seemed to Rape the women, unlike the other Bonds. He isn't someone you see as James Bond, his only remotely good Bond film was View to a Kill simply because it had Christopher Walken in it, his movies wern't at all serious, and he was portrayed too "Prettyboy"ish)
Goldenye first of all, was the best bond movie ever. Pierce Bronsnan was the best bond ever. i cant say what craig is gonna as bond but there is one thing for sure, he definitely wasnt the best pick..its sad to see pierce stop, great actor, great bond, great movies, and now its over! shitness
I can't believe ANYONE thinks that A View To A Kill was a GOOD Bond. That one is failed by hordes of Bond Fans (like me) as being the Absolute Worst of the ENTIRE Franchise!!!
No argument there.thats the one Roger Moore James Bond film just like the brosnan Bond films I wish they would burn.bout the only good thing out of that flick is the theme song by Duran Duran.
Anyways, who said View to a Kill was a good film? I said REMOTELY good, and only because of Mr.Walkan. Roger Moore is a terrible actor, Pierce Brosnan was good, but he had the shitty writers of today's world. Anyone that denies Goldeneye being on the Top 3 isn't a real Bond fan
The only differance between the 2 is Goldeneye doesn't suck
Parker, Brosnan was very good, I thought of him like Timothy Dalton, just the Writers sucked, and it will be the same for Daniel Craig(actually worse, as he can no longer Sex the Women, blow up things, and kill Insane People)

Hmm...let's see here. Let's compare shall we...how many bond films did Roger Moore make vs how many did Dalton make. There's really no argument here. All true Bond fans agree that the best to ever play the role were Conner or Moore. Go to any Bond forum anywhere and that's what you'll here. It's funny how you blame the writers and use them as an excuse for Brosnan. Seems like a cop out if you ask me. Yeah sure blame the writers ok. The writers have no control over how an actor delivers his lines. How do you justify Dalton being so crap?
Also you rank Connery as the best on your list and yet you fail to mention the reasons why you feel he was the best. So, I'm curious what makes Connery in your opinion the best to ever play the role?
Btw, I saw the trailer for Casino Royale and this new Craig looks nothing like Bond should look. The whole time I was watching the trailer I thought he was the bad guy. Honestly, IMO no offense to Bond fans out there that want this series to survive but as far as I'm concerned I feel this franchise is officially dead. This guy will be another Dalton. He'll do 1 or 2 sub par films until they figure out who else to bring or if they just retire the series entirely. At this pt. I'm hoping for the 2nd option.

Oh shut up, Parker, you trolling moron, your critical view on movies (good ones too, like Goldeneye, the Spider-Mans and the X-Men movies) borders on homicidal obsession. Now piss off...
