It was like the Batman film series all over again - a strong start ( Batman / GoldenEye), a strong but bloated sequel ( Batman Returns / Tomorrow Never Dies), a right turn into camp ( Batman Forever/ Th e World is Not Enough), and then an ultimate downfall into a ridiculously gauche, almost satirical world that didn’t even resemble the first two ( Batman & Robin / Die Another Day). Brosnan’s still just fine in my book, but there’s no hiding the fact that his Bond was saddled with the task of carrying a series of films that increasingly got more and more ridiculous and bland. As a kid, however, I did love the character and his world, and, for a while, Pierce Brosnan was my Bond - cocky, suave, witty, and boy did he have a lot of gadgets. I grew up watching the films but can honestly say that I don’t remember much of the 60s – 80s thanks to the films largely feeling quite… samey. There are always going to be arguments about who did Bond best.
