I think Pierce did a great job as Bond.
When I think James Bond, Pierce is the guy who pops into my head. He actually looks like he'd be James Bond. I also think he did a great job in Goldeneye, and the best job he could in the others. He can't exactly be blamed for his other Bond films going the campy route of the Moore films since it wasn't up to him. As such, he's my second favourite Bond, above Connery, and below Daniel Craig. Craig gave the best performance of Bond as a spy should be, while Connery is just classic, but I don't see him as embodying the James Bond persona. Perhaps because I'm too young to have grown up with him as Bond. He did provide the majority of the best Bond films though, so props to him for that.
Just from Dr. No, I think Connery is the best, followed by Brosnan, then Moore. I haven't seen any of the Dalton movies, or OHMSS or Casino Royale.
I dunno, maybe it was the obvious-ness of him having leeds on his chest, a wire detached, and a machine with a big red button.
I enjoyed Casino Royale a lot. I thought Craig did a wonderful job and I enjoyed the portrayal of Bond as an infant agent. Being that it was the beginning of the Bond series, the first Bond movie in a storyline, I thought it was good that they portrayed him as a character with faults. Instead of the genius-like Bond that Brosnan was. I haven't seen any of the older movies, being that I'm not the biggest fan of Bond as a whole, so I can't say how Craig or Brosnan held up to Moore and Connery.
Goldeneye is my favourite Bond film starring Brosnan aswell. I should buy it on DVD, I only have it on VHS.
