I kinda feel sorry for Brosnan. The 007 folks wanted him back in the 80s, but he couldn't get out of his "Remington Steele" contract, and by the time he came aboard the series was pointed in its current direction. I still think his first two Bond movies were very good, but after that it got to the point that I enjoyed David Arnold's music as much as anything else. When you can say that with fine-looking women and Aston Martins on the screen, something's lacking elsewhere.

Whoever falls into the role next, unless the producers give up their insistence on sticking to the same staid formula it's just gonna be an exercise in seducing the ladies and making shit blow up real good. If they remember that Bond James Bond is a spy, then they can make an intelligent, exciting story in which there are also babes and explosions to break things up a bit.
