Am I alone in thinking the Brosnan movies are better than..

..Diamonds Are Forever, most of Moore's movies, and the Living Daylights? People are so down on the Brosnan era but I feel like it did away with enough of the cheese of the 70s and 80s entries while retaining most of the classic Bond tropes and larger than life style. It's as if people have to have it one way or another, there can never be a happy medium. Even Brosnan is despised by some for being an amalgam of all the best traits of the Bonds before him. The playful, bad boy attitude of Connery, the humor of Moore, the cold-blooded vengefulness of Dalton, and the heart of Lazenby.

This of course is excluding Die Another Day.

Brosnan's movies felt so despearte to be Bond movies they felt more like parodies than anything.

And although not his fault, I still feel Brosnan never got out of the shadow of Connery, Moore and Dalton. He never got to be his own man and just had their trademark traits but sorely lacked each of them.

He and his Bond movies just feel like they were designed by a committee without any interest in making a movie that they actually wanted to make.
