It's a damn shame that Pierce Brosnan wasn't given the same quality of script and production values because I think if he had, he'd be the 2nd best Bond of all time, next to Sean Connery.

Dalton was a poor man's Craig; which isn't a knock on him at all. I liked Dalton. But he was almost too good as a pure actor for the gig. And coming right on the heels of Moore, he was just the wrong guy.
I remember for awhile thinking I sounded clever by saying that Lazenby could've been great. Then I watched OHMSS again several years ago....jesus he was bad.
I'm fiercely anti-Moore but Lazenby was definitely worse. And like you, I think Brosnan got some bad movies to work with but man, those last couple were just SO bad that it's hard to really separate how awful they were from him. I know it wasn't really his fault, but the captain goes down with the ship, Pierce.
Those movies were so bad that had Craig not been absolutely brilliant, the whole franchise could be done by now.
