Overrated - By: Lorraine J. Fleming, 02 Jan 2009 
Now it has been over 7 years since he left bond, looking back upon his movies I can safely say they were & he was way overrated.
Goldeneye- Pierces best bond, memorable parts were the tank going through St Petersberg & the pre-titles jump sceane among others, & Brosnan looked as if he was going to a great bond but he quickly went downhill after this film.
Tomorrow never dies- has soom good moments, the action is quite good, but it's backstage issuses hurt the filmin my opinion.
The world is not enough- the pre-titles sequence is the only exciting part of an otherwise tedious bond adventure.
Die another day- the worst bond movie of them all, inept special effects(bad CGI), terrible sequences ice palace & invisable cars to name just a few & Mr Brosnans weekest turn as bond.
Why Brosnan is consistantly ahead of Roger Moore (andin fact T. Dalton) as bond is beyond me, one is good two are watchable but not great as critics often say & one is terrible.
Bond, only Bond - By: Matthew Mercy, 30 Aug 2008 
Collecting the four movies featuring `official' Bond number five, Pierce Brosnan:
Goldeneye: Pierce Brosnan & Martin Campbell (director of the BBC's classic eco-thriller Edge Of Darkness) brought the Bond series back from the brink with this formulaic but rewarding effort, both a homage to, & an updating of, the old formula. Brosnan,in his debut as Bond, tries his hardest to flesh out the character, whilst Sean Bean is good value as the villain. Famke Janssen gives what is still her most memorable movie performance as the sexually voracious Xenia Onnatopp, but on the downside Judi Dench's luvvie, career-woman M makes her unwanted debut, Alan Cumming ponces aroundin that way that only Alan Cumming can, & Robbie Coltrane struggles with a Russian accent. Still, with Brosnan not yet atrophiedin the part, this qualifies as his best performance as Bond, though he later showed he could be a better actorin films like The Tailor Of Panama, The Thomas Crown Affair, & The Matador.
Tomorrow Never Dies: Pierce Brosnan's second effortin the Bond series was seen as a roaring success when it first appeared, but watched it the cold light of day it does not strike one as a particularly good film;in fact,in a lot of respects, it is an absolutely terrible one. Jonathan Pryce, one of the most languid actorsin history, is possibly the weakest villain Bond has ever faced. Brosnan's scenes with Michelle Yeoh lack any chemistry at all, & Teri Hatcher (in the fallow period between her early successin Lois & Clark & her re-inventionin Desperate Housewives) doesn't bring much of a spark to her scenes as Bond's `old flame'. Worst of all is the truly rancid performance of Gotz Otto as Pryce's henchman - the line `We die together, Mister Bwand' has never sounded stupider or cheesier. Overall, dire.
The World Is Not Enough: Though it's an undeniable improvement on Tomorrow Never Dies, Brosnan's third Bond film isn't that great either. Again, the movie is styled as a `gritty' thriller, with some distubingly sadistic scenes, dark plotline, & typical `hard nut' performance from Robert Carlyle as the main villain. Unfortunately, Brosnan was smirking for England by this point, Judi Dench's atrocious `headmistress' M is forefrontedin the second half of the film, & Denise Richards is saddled with one of the most unbelivable charactersin the entire Bond series, as scientist Dr Christmas Jones. For Brosnan's Bond, time was clearly running out.
Die Another Day: Brosnan's final effortin the Bond series, & the movie that caused the producers to slam on the brakes & take stock of the franchise. It was clear from this film that rather than continuing & developing the Bond series, Brosnan's timein the part had instead been geared towards simply keeping it afloat. Of all the actors to play James Bond, Brosnan's is the interpretation I warm to the least, & here is why; far from the `sexist, mysoginist dinosaur' described by Min Goldeneye, Brosnan's `Blair's Britain' Bond is very much a product of his time; he doesn't smoke, hardly drinks, & treats women with total respect (until it is time to dive bomb their knickers, that is). A hypocritical, Teflon slimeball of a character, Brosnan's Bond is at his absolute sleaziest here, & recieves the kiss-off he deserves,in one of the most poorly received Bond films of all time. The Bond producers again try to mix grit with fantasy & totally fail; the invisible car, the villain's `ice base', & Halle Berry's sub-Charlie's Angels turn as Jinx are just some of the foul ingredientsin this very unappetising stew. It was clearly time for another re-think...
Some great bits, some bad bits - By: M. J. Payne, 04 Apr 2007 Hello
I'm a big Bond fan, but I only got into the films a few years ago.. "Die Another Day" was my first one I watched...
Goldeneye ~ I do like Goldeneye. It has a very unique, gritty & dangerous feel to it that other filmsin the series lacked. Brosnan is easily at his best here & offers with a very sleek & action-packed performance. Alec Travelyn is a pretty good villain aswell.
9/10
-----------------------------
Tomorrow Never Dies ~ Hmm... not as good as "Goldeneye" but still quite fun. The plot is very different here - a big change from Goldeneye, focusing on media corruption & the impact one man can have on the world. So its ok, not brilliant, Brosnan gives a fairly dry performance so the villains make it for me.
5/10
-----------------------------
The World is Not Enough ~ Like "Tomorrow Never Dies", I like the plot ideasin this film - Renard makes a fairly sinister if a little OTT villain with a vengeance, Elektra is a nice change of villain being female with different aims as far as her & Bond are concerned. Judi Dench gives her worst performace - just totally over the top, her sub-plot lines felt shoehorned in.
7/10
-----------------------------
Die Another Day ~ As my first Bond film, this is always going to hold a special placein my collection. Looking at the filmin an unbiased fashion, it's terrible. The plot was RIDICULOUS. The producers attempts to lauch Bond into the 21st century really came back to bite them as the reviews came out. An invisible car? Icarus? Give me "Casino Royale" anyday.
Sorry - not gonna buy it.
2/10

Hope I've helped!
