Bond, Brosnan as Bond

He seems to be favored by a lot of the younger Bond lovers because he was sexy. I will say the acting became better in many of these.
#1 GoldenEye - 1995 - Brosnan

Bean (GoT), Janssen (Hemlock Grove), Scorupco (Love is a Drug), Cumming (Circle of Friends), and Dench (Tulip Fever) all star.
A reviewer for IMDb writes, "When a deadly satellite weapon system falls into the wrong hands, only Agent 007 can save the world from certain disaster. Armed with his license to kill, Bond races to Russia in search of the stolen access codes for "Goldeneye," an awesome space weapon that can fire a devastating electromagnetic pulse toward Earth. But 007 is up against an enemy who anticipates his every move: a mastermind motivated by years of simmering hatred. Bond also squares off against Xenia Onatopp, an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon.Written by Robert Lynch
All in all, I say: SEE IT  - I enjoyed it like I remember enjoying Connery.

#2 Tomorrow Never Dies - 1997 - Brosnan

Pryce (GoT), Hatcher (Desperate Housewives), and Yeoh (Mechanic Resurrection) all star.
A reviewer for IMDb writes, "Agent James Bond 007 is on a mission which includes a media tycoon, his former lover and a Chinese agent. Elliot Carver wants to complete his global media empire, but in order for this to work, he must achieve broadcasting rights in China. Carver wants to start up World War III by starting a confrontation over British and Chinese waters. Bond gains the help of Wai Lin on his quest to stop him, but how will Bond feel when he meets up with his former lover, who is now Carver's wife. Written by simon"
All in all, I say: SKIP IT  - I feel like everyone was trying to hard to make it work.

#3 The World is Not Enough - 1999 - Brosnan
Just when you thought ok maybe since the last one things will be better this time. The acting got worse because of the Bond girl in this. Richards (Wildthings) and Carlyle (Full Monty) star. A reviewer for IMDb writes, "James Bond is back. An oil tycoon is murdered in MI6 and Bond is sent to protect his daughter. Renard, who has a bullet lodged in his brain from a previous agent, is secretly planning the destruction of a pipeline. Bond gains a hand from a research scientist, Dr. Christmas Jones who witnesses the action which happens when Bond meets up with Renard, but Bond becomes suspicious about Elektra King, especially when Bond's boss, M goes missing. Bond must work quickly to prevent Renard from destroying Europe. Written by simon"
All in all, I say: SKIP IT

#4 Die Another Day - 2002 - Brosnan
I have a weak spot of one of the actors in this so...All in all, I say: SEE IT
Stephens (Black Sails), Pike (Gone Girl), Cleese (Trolls), Madsen (Reservoir Dogs), Lee (Strike Back), and Berry (Kingsmen: The Golden Circle) star. A reviewer for IMDb writes, "Pierce Brosnan gives one last mission as James Bond. Starting off in North Korea, Bond is betrayed and captured. 14 months later, Bond is set free, but traded for Zao who was captured by MI6. When back in his world, Bond sets off to track down Zao. Bond gets caught up in yet another scheme which sends him to millionaire Gustav Graves. Another MI6 agent known as Miranda Frost is also posing as a friend of Graves. Bond is invited to a presentation held by Graves about a satellite found in space which can project a huge laser beam. Bond must stop this madman with a fellow American agent, known as Jinx. Whilst Bond tries to stop Graves and Zao, will he finally reveal who betrayed him? Written by simon"
