Baaah...

I thought Brosnan made a really good Bond. He had the perfect image and everything.

I swear, almost everyone says Connery is the best Bond. Sometimes I wonder if it's just because he was the first.

RE: reviews of the last Bond movie, here's some data:

Die Another Day - 58%, 6.1 / 10

...which is about the same as the two before it. Goooo mediocrity.

Huh, all the reviews I read (generally UK newspapers) ranked it well below the other Brosnan films. The bad CG-surfing alone is enough to sink the movie, let alone the villian with his sci-fi electricity suit or whatever the heck that was.

It was a shame, because I rather liked Brosnan as Bond, he seemed to hit the right level of toughness, suaveness and humour. As others have said, Goldeneye ranks as one of the best.

I think Christian Bale could be a great Bond in a a few years (he's only about 30 or so now), though to be honest I'd rather he didn't- I think he's too good an actor to be stuck playing Bond.

My current choice is Clive Owen (who I think would veer towards the Dalton-esque "pissed off Bond" which I prefer) who's proven that he can do action (The Bourne Identity), drive a car (BMW adverts) and wear a tux (Croupier).
