1. GoldenEye - my personal favorite of the franchise.
2. The World Is Not Enough - if Christmas Jones was recast and the showdown with Renard was better, this would be almost perfect to me.
3. Tomorrow Never Dies - it's just a lot of fun.
4. Die Another Day - my guilty pleasure.
1. GoldenEye
2. The world is not enough
3. Tomorrow never dies
4. Die another day
Great list!
That is correct!
I completely agree!
100% my list also
1. GE
2. TND
3. TWINE
4. DAD
I absolutely adore all of these, even DAD, there's something to be enjoyed in all of them
what about MOM
TWINE gets a lot of positive reevaluation these days. Like it!
I always liked it but hen I've always been ahead of the curve...
It is the only one among the quartet not overly reliant on modern (1990s) technology, and the least dated 🎥😎
But it was never as fun as TND. Which had the best Brosnan era car ever, unlike the hairdresser BMWs in TWINE and Goldeneye..although I did like the AM Vanquish in DAD asides from the over the top gadgets.
I’m not a fan of the brodnan era but I really like world is not enough
The World is not enough is my second favorite Bond movie of all time.
1. GOLDENEYE - My first theatrical and live exposure to Bond inspired by one of the greatest N64 games of all time.
2. WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH - One of the best bang for your buck bond movies. Impressive and thrilling pre-title sequence.
3. DIE ANOTHER DAY - Great ideas and stellar blockbuster action combined with laughable cringeworthy moments.
4. TOMORROW NEVER DIES - A solid above average bond but just never fires on all cylinders for me so I don't rewatch it often.
Pierce did a great job. I will always have a special place in my heart for this era of Bond.
4. DAD (score:1)
3. TND (6)
2. GoldenEye (7)
1. The World Is Not Enough (8) 🎥😎
1.The World Is Not Enough
2. Goldeneye
3. Tomorrow Never Dies.
278th. Die Another Day.
🤣
This is the correct answer👍
I'm glad you've started your 278 times tables. And what's 2X 278? Keep going...
Completely agree.
Aside from the few CGI segments and Halley Barry's acting (I think she has a great look in it). I love Die Another Day. I'd much prefer a campier Bond film than one that tries to take itself too seriously as the Craig films do. But a nice balance in between camp and serious is goldeneye and it's the best way to go when making a Bond film. Also i'm all for cloaking cars. But I guess i'm apart of that video game market.
Daniel Craig:
Casino Royale 10
Skyfall 6
Quantum 5.5
Spectre 1
Skyfall a 6 ouch
Ouch is right
I think you’re too low on Skyfall. That was a beautifully made movie, had a great plot, and great villain.
I would rather wait till after NTTD has been released for the ranking of Craig films. Even if that means waiting till 2028
My gut is telling me its gonna be 4th or 5th, Casino and Skyfall battke for the top spot
QoS at third place far below the first 2 and then Specter and NTTD battle for the worst film
After Watching it here is My ranking of the Craig Bond movies:
1. Skyfall
2. Casino Royale
3. No Time To Die
4. Specter
5. Quantum Of Solace
Best to Worst for me:
Goldeneye
Tomorrow Never Dies
The World is not Enough
Die Another Day
(and yes, I realize that's also the order they came out...)
I thought Tomorrow Never Dies was your favorite Brosnan 007 film
Agreed.
@@greatwuta best and favorite aren't necessarily the same thing. GoldenEye is my favorite Bond film but I consider From Russia with Love & On Her Majesty's Secret Service to be the best.
@@whitechocolate7777 thank you for explaining it to me
I would give the edge to TND. A great, fresh concept for the 90's that is still relevant today. The structure is weak but the remaining Brosnan films aren't much better.
Well done Joe - I agree with your ratings and scores pretty much. I think the Brosnan movies are the hardest to rank because the 80s seems a long time ago, Casino Royale is now a decade and a half old....and the era in between doesn't seem that long ago and yet the technology, expectations and the world around us have changed so much. In many ways Brosnans efforts are old films now but modern enough that its hard to forgive some of the issues. DAD is cringy but at least it brought in a new, younger fanbase and despite its flaws was a huge financial success. My own fav Brosnan is TND as it now seems more believable and current in terms of the villain and his ways.
Here is My ranking:
1. Goldeneye
2. The World Is Not Enough
3. Tomorrow Never Dies
4. Die Another Day
1. Tomorrow Never Dies
2. The World is not enough
3. Goldeneye
4. Die Another Day
Definitely need to do the Craig ranking soon- because if you wait for No Time to die to be released we may not see that complete ranking for many many years!
Happy Thanksgiving!
my ranking
Solid list old man. I agree with you that TWINE is his best, despite some flaws, the film was trying to do something new.
4 die another day 2/10
3 Tomorrow never dies 8/10
2 The world is not Enough 8/10
1 Goldeneye 9/10
1. GoldenEye
2. The World Is Not Enough

3. The World Is Not Enough
4. Die Another Day
The order in which they were released. They got worse as they went on. In my opinion Licence to kill was better than The Living Daylights. 3 is very harsh, that movie is a 9 for me.
I don't have a problem with your rankings. But how do you score Brosnan's first three films 7/10 and DAD only 1/10? But it's your list so whatever.
Goldeneye is a great bond film for me ,TND and TWINE are both very solid entertaining bond Films and obviously die another day is trash apart from the first hour
I love Goldeneye, but don't connect with it either. For me, the reason is something Nicolas Cage of all people pointed out: Bond went through that entire film as if he knew he wasn't going to take a scratch. It killed the tension.
Still:
1. Goldeneye
2. The World is Not Enough
3. Tomorrow Never Dies
Worst of all Bond films: Die Another Day
Ooof. GoldenEye is by far the best. Eric Serra's score is great minus the car race in monte carlo and the end credits. It felt like a much more serious and grounded film akin to the Timothy Dalton tone. The villains were the best in the series. I also cannot agree that Natalya had to be bakini-clad in order to be appealing. It was nice to have a smart girl who was sexy in a more realistic way, rather than objectified
I actually like how Natalya doesn't represent your usual bikini clad Bond girl and is dressed down for most of the film. I like this because she feels like your normal everyday person. Unlike Bond girls in the later Brosnan films like Christmas Jones and Jinx who are dolled up bimbos with no character and are just there to be eye candy for 007 to sleep with.
The World is Not Enough is my favourite Bond movie ever...
Good choice
Even though he didn't have great films, with the exception of Goldeneye, I think that he's an easy top 3 bond. Just the fact that he can capture that cold blooded killer side of bond with his wit and charm makes him endlessly rewatchable. Him, Connery and Dalton always battle it out in my mind as to which is my favorite.
Dalton, Connery and Brosnan are my top three Bonds too.
He was a very good bond. Goldeneye was his only great bond film, but his performance was never an issue. He was the best with the famous bond one liners and arrogant confidence. I loved Brosnan as Bond.
@@obadiahplainman8897 The best for me
Brosnan Moore Connery
I would put Die Another day at number 1 for entertainment only the others for me are terrible he's not a good James Bond
Love that intro
1. GoldenEye
2. GoldenEye

2. Goldeneye
3. Die Another Day
4.The World is not enough
You right about Goldeneye.
You absolutely have to wait until you see "No time to die" before you rank the Craig films. Wait for it so that your ranking list will be complete.
Firstly, I really didn't like Die Another Day, I felt it was totally unrealistic (and I feel Bond should be grounded in realism, otherwise it leaves the audience feeling cheated) and it felt like a generic action film (like Vin Diesel's XXX).
Having said that, I like Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough, because I think they are really stylish films (David Arnold's score and Brosnan really makes me want to be him in those films).
I also agree with you about Goldeneye. I think a lot of people have fondness for it because of nostalgia/N64 reasons. But, don't hate me, I feel it's a bit over rated (find the villains a bit too comical), but that might be because the first Bond film I saw in cinema was TWINE. Then again, I think Goldeneye's a pretty solid film, so don't hate it either.
I know people can be quite divided on what they think about Daniel Craig's tenure compared to Pierce Brosnan's. I think the Daniel Craig films are better made, but I miss the style and fun of the Brosnan ones, so for me, I will always go back to those (other than Die Another Day).
I take Brosnan all day
@@pr-tj5by Me too :)
Craig era has great action scenes and great cinematography...probably not surprising given the tech advancements over time. Besides Casino Royale, overall I'd consider his era a very mixed bag (at best). Agree with your other points, including GoldenEye being consistently overrated.
Pierce had all the right qualities as Bond his best films for me are 1.Goldeneye 2.The World Is Not Enough 3.Tomorrow Never Dies and 4.Die Another Day. DAD is going to be last on most peoples lists. You could argue that he was better as Bond in Die Another Day than in Goldeneye but for me he was pretty oven ready when Goldeneye came around and he brought some nice touches to the part as an actor. Agree with something you said about him not being quite the part when Roger retired. Maybe he was a bit too boyish and slight of frame and not quite the man and actor that he was when Goldeneye came about.
i feel pretty much the same way. the first 3 Brosnan films are all pretty close. I think i'd put Goldeneye first. It just feels a bit long to me, like 5 minutes should have come out somewhere. TWINE could have been a great film but they botched some things.
GoldenEye is a nice slice of 90s cheese.
1. The World is Not Enough
2. Goldeneye
3. Die Another Day
4. Tomorrow Never Dies
I am the videogame generation. It’s not perfect but I love Die Another Day.
I think these ratings are a bit harsh. Goldeneye definitely ranks as #1 for me, but all of Pierce's films are great, even DAD is decent enough, I think it gets some unwarranted criticism. Pierce's movies are heavily influenced by typical 90's action movie structure, and you're right that they have a very consistent good quality about them, they probably have the best action out of all the Bond films. I love Pierce and I think he's the best Bond right behind Sean Connery. Honestly, if I wanted to watch a Bond film that I would have no trouble enjoying, I would watch any of Pierce's films.
Keep in mind, I'm only ranking them against the other James Bond films -- my fave gets a 10, my least fave gets a 1 -- but even my least favorite Bond film is still a great movie and an enjoyable watch. I don't think Pierce ever did "bad" Bond movie (though maybe DAD dips dangerously close).
💯% agreed with this ranking. Although I love the first three, Goldeneye is probably one that I watch the least out of these three. I usually pick up TND or TWINE (my personal favourite) when going to watch a Brosnan Bond.🍸
1- Goldeneye
2- World Is Not Enough
3- Tomorrow Never Dies
4- Die Another Day
Fun ranking video! While I very much enjoyed the Eric Serra score for Goldeneye, your point on having David Arnold score this film probably would have lifted the verve of this installment substantially. Note: I could have sworn I heard Serra's °A Pleasant Drive Through St. Petersburg" during the tank chase when I saw Goldeneye in its original theatrical run, but now It's only the pasted-in generic orchestral piece there in all the home video editions since. Any thoughts or trivia on this?
Goldeneye of course. It literally saved the 007 francise. The later films became steadily worse. Another reboot was clearly needed, and Casino did that. Goldeneye did it first. Made Bond movies, Bond again
And both films were directed by Martin Campbell…
A lot of the videos issues with GoldenEye are accurate.
As someone said about Pierce Brosnan, he's got the look, the humor and cold-hearted nature we expect from our Bond. He used to be my 2nd favorite but fell to third after Daniel Craig and Sean Connery. Unfortunately, I think he had one great film, one dreadful one, one good and a mediocre one. His films are a definite mixed bag for me.
Here are my rankings:
1. GoldenEye (9.5/10) The first is definitely the best. It's also my 3rd favorite of the Bond franchise. Great action, great performance by Pierce Brosnan, great Bond girls, interesting villain and substantial script. My only complaint is the theme song, dreadful!!!
2. The World is Not Enough (8/10) I think Pierce is great, Sophie Marceau is gorgeous and great, one of the more interesting Bond girls, M is great, and the theme song is one of the better ones of the modern Bond era. For those reasons alone, it gets that score. Denise Richards sucks but she's inconsequential. Robert Carlye is not the most interesting villain, but he has not influence on my enjoyment of the film. The script is nothing special but entertaining.
3. Tomorrow Never Dies (7/10) It's a pretty average Bond. The plot, average. The Bond girls, average. Jonathan Pryce is fun but not my favorite villain. The theme song, forgettable. What's above average for me is the car chase scene in the garage, it's the reason I wanted to see this film.
4. Die Another Day (-10/10) There have been some turkeys in this franchise, Diamonds Are Forever and Never Say Never Again. But OMG, this one takes the cake! It sucks from start to finish. The plot, stupid! Hey, the 1960s called, they want their script back. The theme song, the worst ever! It doesn't help that I can't stand Madonna or her electronic phase! Halle Berry, oh dear! I'm not fan but her character was lame. The villains, so outdated. Hey, the 1960s called, they want their villains back. I feel so bad for Pierce because he deserved better! Believe it or not, the only scene I liked was when Halle Berry kills Rosmund Pike. That was epic! The rest, a major letdown in every sense of the word! It's a tragic movie!!
1. The World Is Not Enough
2.Goldeneye
3.Die Another Day
4. Tomorrow Never Dies
For me Goldeneye is the best film of Brosnan and I can understand that most people don´t like die another day but I think it´s great. My ranking would be 1. Goldeneye, 2. Die Another Day, 3. Tomorow Never Dies, 4. The World Is Not Enought
1. Goldeneye - My absolute favorite Bond film... Everything is awesome
2. TWINE - Brosnan's best performance, one of the best Bond villains, the Boat chase
3. TND - Although relatively safe, it's still lots of fun... villain plot very relevant to today's media landscape... great Bond girl
4. DAD - Guilty pleasure... starts off great and just falls apart in the last 30-45 mins or so as the insanity is cranked up to 20... Also has probably the worst dialogue in the series...
4 Die Another day 1/10
3 Goldeneye 6/10
2 Tomorrow never dies 8/10
1 The world is not enough 9/10
Ranking with Reasons:
1. Goldeneye (Definitely respectfully disagree with having this one at number 3. This has got to be the most grounded, grittiest, realistic and genuine Brosnan 007 film. It's easily Pierce's best and his only truly great Bond film. Everything in this just works. Except for the Eric Serra score obviously).
2. Tomorrow Never Dies (Not as bad or terrible as a lot of people make it out to be. Scott was being way too hard on this one by giving it a 3. A pretty underrated film that while I will agree with many is a disappointing follow up to Goldeneye, still has a solid plot, villain etc).
3. The World is Not Enough (A film that unfortunately suffers from an identity crisis half of the time as I feel that it is a film that doesn't know what it wants itself to be. It can't decide whether it's a super serious and super dramatic update of OHMSS for the modern age that deals with serious subject matter like kidnapping and Stockholm Syndrome or if it's a campy movie with goofy elements like Mr Bullion, Christmas Jones, R, the parahawks, buzzsaw helicopters etc. I find that these choices, that constantly contradict the tone that the film is going for, really hurt the story that it is trying to tell).
4. Die Another Day (what else can possibly be said about this fucking trainwreck that hasn't already been said? Thank God Casino Royale came after this).
Very interesting list. I didn't see the top 3 playing out like that. TWINE is definitely Brosnan at his best in the role. So much potential with Renard wasted. I find TND through DAD all fall apart in the 2nd half. None of them have solid endings and they just devolve into mindless action. Brosnans filmed also suffered from brutal dialogue in my opinion. I just can't picture. Connery or Craig or Dalton saying a lot of those lines. For me, the trailer or Panama and the thomas crown affair were almost his best Bond movies. Rework those films into Bond and they'd be spectacular.
Talking of 'GoldenEye' i have to totally agree with your opinion of it being ranked lower...has it ever accured to anyone that they were acting totally shameless by literally stealing various elements right out of 'Never say never again' plot which curiously happened to be Eons 1983 competitor at the Box Office...which leaves an even worse taste...the character of Xenia Onatopp is a brazen rip off of Barbara Carreras Fatima Blush, the exploding pen and the whole Monte Carlo location setting as well as the Q jokes are simply being stolen from NSNA which i always considered very poor by any accounts!
I grew up on Connery and Moore and I loved them both, was seriously underwhelmed with Dalton but when Brosnan turned up he blew me away, Best Bond Ever for me, Craig like Dalton I just couldn't warm to, both way too serious and depressing for my idea of Bond.
Die Another Day is simultaneously something Daniel Craig would have done far better, and as-is one of the best bad movies on par with Samurai Cop!
Goldeneye #3 I put that one up there with Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me as one of the best Bond films but I guess it's all about what works for you as an individual and a lot of ratings will be based on what you expect from a Bond film and what memories we have connected to each film. I remember enjoying Die Another Day until the CGI Bond which was so bad I nearly walked out of the cinema it took me completely out of the film. If they re edited that maybe it would be watchable. I agree that Pierce was probably at his best as Bond in The World Is Not Enough and it is a cracking film not too behind Goldeneye for me. Tomorrow Never Dies I loved for the David Arnold score and Q scenes. I made the mistake of following the film too closely when it was in production. I remember seeing the still of Pierce outside the car rental shop think I can't wait to see how that scene plays...and it wasn't in the film. The whole thing felt like a series of scenes rather than a coherent movie. After that I've not followed the films too closely while in production because a lot of it spoilers and a lot of it gets your hopes up for something better than the final product. OHMSS great film I can't imagine any other Bond actor in that role for someone who hadn't acted before Lazenby did a great job. I wouldn't give it a 10 because I really don't like the scenes where he's dubbed by George Baker.
I'd love to hear you rank the Craig era before NTTD so that we can then see how NTTD fits in with your ranking once it's f i n a l l y released.
Also personally I think Goldeneye was Brosnans best, but maybe I'm biased since I'm a 90's kid that grew up watching it and playing GoldeneyeN64!
Yes! Hallie berry is an incredibly overrated actress . Let’s not forget she won herself a razzie .
This is a tricky one. Four masterpieces.
I see a couple of decent films and two films that shouldn't have been filmed.
I’m with you Richard. Four masterpieces without a doubt!
Yeah, Goldeneye is my favorite Bond film, tied with OHMSS. GE has my favorite villian, tied favorite henchman, General Oramov is great. Zakovsky is great. Bond and Natalya being interagated by Defense Ministet Mishkin, and Oramov showing up, is so Flemming. Tank chase is so incredible. Tina turnets GE, in my top three theme songs. Casino scene i love. My only blemish is the score, aside from Tank, and Turner. Great pre title. But Bond is up against himself really in Trevelyan. Trevelyan, Bond fight right there with Bond Grant fight as best in series. " Q still up too his old tricks ?, ah, new model, still press here ? "
Rennard was a letdown for me, built up and just so so. TWINE pre title is brilliant. Elektra King is so good. But i like Brosnan more in GE.
Don’t for get Xenia Onatopp in GE. Great comment, my same exact sentiments.
“For England, James?”
“No, Alec. For me.”
GE was a fantastic bond film, top 2 or 3 overall.
i dont like movies brosnan... i try, but no like.
If No Time to Die is a masterpiece it could improve Spectre so yes it's better to wait (because NTTD is basically Spectre part 2, if Spectre had not existed the film would have been totally different).
Talk about slim pickings.
OK, The GoldenEye score is good, one track doesn't mean the rest of the score is rubbish.
The music during the pre titles sequence in particular is fantastic
@@christianbrown7438 the Tracks 02,04,05,06,07,08,09,11,12,13,14 and 15 are great, every time someone mentions the GE ost they only bring up the chase with Onatopp which ticks me off
@PatWaters Exactly!!
I'm sorry but as much as I love Goldeneye (the film) I am pretty much with Joe and everyone else on the score. Apart from The Goldeneye Overture. That track rules. One of my favourite interpretations of the Monty Norman James Bond theme.
The Brosnan era movies can feel too formulaic alot of the time. I like Brosnan, I think he looks the part and does a pretty good job, but his Bond can feel bland and not that distinctive. I don't know if that is the script or director or what.
4. world is not enough
3. goldeneye
2. tomorrow never dies
1. die another day
I watched " Die Another Day" with one of my brother's step children. He actually really dug it. Laughed at the right times. Loved the locations and was generally really engaged. It's not a very good movie. But it's not bad either. There's always something happening. A fight, a car chase, explosions. It has very well documented flaws. But one thing it is not is boring.
@@simond7225 lol. I couldn't have said it better. Ironically I just rewatched under siege last weekend. Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey are fun. But as a whole. Die Another Day is a better film with a stronger and more charismatic lead actor.
I don’t think Brosnan made a “terrible” bond film. Only some of Moore’s and maybe one or two of Connery’s are terrible to me.
I just loved Brosnan
I definitely have to disagree on the notion that a war for ratings isn't a goal for a proper Bond villain. Controlling the media is far dangerous than seizing command of the gold or diamond markets. Unfortunately, Tomorrow Never Dies isn't far removed from the unholy alliance between corporate media and big government. I agree that the story structure is flimsy and the movie inundated with explosions but the concept of the movie is easily more subversive than any Bond film.
It's actually pretty scary how ahead of it's time Tomorrow Never Dies was with its plot. To me I feel it is one of the more underrated plots in Bond movies.
The Ranked video on this movie will change your mind.
While I thought he was a good bond choice, I just am not a huge fan of any of the movies he did.
Natalya was the best Bond girl of the Brosnan era.
@Maria Kelly I totally agree with you Ms. Kelly except she is best Bond girl ever.
Mr. Darlington, have you read the novels that were tied to the movies? The novelizations from Goldeneye to Die Another Day? If not, I suggest you do. The novels, with unused aspects in relation to the movies, may change your thoughts about these films...
In a good way or a bad way?
@@drachireidnoc6659 In a good way.
i find Pierce Brosnan didn't get great films either and no that wasn't his fault imo GoldenEye and tomorrow never dies edge out the other 2 but as a bond film i like all the films and yes i will agree others are better than others and no i haven't ranked or will rank them because there are continuing and its to many
My exact list. And I have no idea why people love Goldeneye so much.
1. Goldeneye - one of the greatest Bond movies
2. The World Is Not Enough - a flawed but underrated Bond movie
3. Tomorrow Never Dies - one of the more forgettable Bond movies
4. Die Another Day - one of the worst Bond movies, but in an entertaining way
I say rank the Craig movies now, and don't wait.
Here is my updated Bond Film List with Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, and George Lazenby
1. Tomorrow Never Dies
2. Goldeneye
3. Licence To Kill
4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
5. The World Is Not Enough
6. The Living Daylights
7. Die Another Day
greatwuta, Good list, I would swap LTK with TWINE
Wait for NTTD before ranking Craig's films. It has the potential to upset the cart. My rankings for Pierce.
1. GoldenEye. I still put this one top because it has a lot going for it. I love that the villain is a former colleague and friend. Great idea. It does seem that it wants to check all the boxes, but given the six year absence, I can understand why.
2. TWINE. I really like this film. There's intrigue, espionage and romance. Definitely Pierce's toughest and best portrayal. If it had been executed better, would have been a rival to Eyes Only and Daylights.
3. Tomorrow Never Dies. They bungled the Paris Carver idea. Dare I say it has too much action? It's a fun film, but like Scott it doesn't grab me.
4. Die Another Day. Need I say anything?
Great video.
In my opinion, there is no such thing as too much action. That is why I love Tomorrow Never Dies so much.
Boo on Goldeneye. It's the best of the Brosnan films. The most realistic, best plot, excellent action, and actors were good.
How was it remotely realistic ?
@Tim Hands Even worse than Never Say Never Again.
Wait for Craig’s last one. You’ll just end up doing it again. 👍
Cigar Girl chilling on the boat is explained in a deleted scene. Renard appeared in the opening after Bond escapes. Cigar Gurl meets with him and tells her to kill Bond after King blows up. Even though it's a deleted scene I like to think their conversation still happened.
Great point!
I have always considered GoldenEye as an overrated 007 film. It sure has it's "moments of glory" but as this video tells, it's a kind of "007 - Greatest hits" film instead a really dignified solid ensemble.
For me it's the order they were released:
1. Goldeneye
2. Tomorrow Never Dies
3. The Word Is Not Enough
4. Die Another Day
Goldeneye always sits very highly in my rankings for the series as one of my favourites. I admit that there are are better films out there, but it was the first Bond film I saw at the cinema. At that point I had seen a couple of the films on tv on Sunday afternoons, but it was seeing Goldeneye on the big screen that really started the Bond journey for me!
So why do people love
Goldeneye it can’t just be cos of the video game xD
Yeah. GoldenEye is good but nowhere near great.
Loving your channel
Thank you my friend!
@Beingjamesbond hey buddy I noticed you havent uploaded videos in awhile hope all is well much respect and of well wishes for good health God bless.
11.06 which bond girl is that? (the one after andress)
Honor Blackman
What's this ReMix?
I agree with you on this list Joe. Die Another Day is just crap, and GoldenEye is the best out there, shouldn't be at number 3. As for On Her Majesty's I agree with you 100% because there is so much good stuff that came out of it even comparing to the book, both respectfully match a good James Bond Thriller. Plus it's my personal favorite Bond to watch
Goldeneye at 3? Im stunned. But love the differences in opinion
Golden Eye was the great contribution from Brosnan. Others are like thunderball or goldfinger movie so boring. That's all. Now, I understand why connery didn't want to continue his role as bond.
Tomorrow Never Dies is my favorite of the Bronsnan films because of the action, locations, the villains and the score from David Arnold and theme song done by Sheryl Crow
It's interesting that for some Pierce is one of the best Bonds, combining the best of what went before him while for others, his films struggle to be greater than the sum of their parts.
My favorite
Agree with all your rankings 100%. What a joy! Thanks for your work.
To me Pierce is this brilliant Bond actor who got the misfortune of being screwed over by the writers. He (and we) deserved so much better.
The ranking?
Movie 2 and 3 are more or less equal . I'm not sure how to rank those. I like them both.
Goldeneye is the best by far. It's easily in my top 5 Bond movies.
And Die another Day is easily among my top 3 worst Bond movies. I wish Pierce could have told the writers to mimme something better, this is just rediculous.
Oh, the Madonna song during the torture ... The director wanted us to empathise with Bond by torturing us at the same time.
Joe, how you feel about GoldenEye is how I feel about The Spy Who Loved Me. In my opinion, It's good, but not great
Here is my ranking. There's something to enjoy at each of these, but none of them are perfect, as you said. Also, I think you should wait for NTTD to come out as its only fair to the other actors and their ranked movies. Great video and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
4) The World is Not Enough

Really good one @Being James Bond! I agree with the rankings. Goldeneye still doesn’t do it for me overall. It’s decent and certainly better than DAD, but rather than a celebration, it seems to attempt to be a meditation about Bond, and it doesn’t work on so many levels to go into in this comment. I do wish Brosnan did one more film. Too bad DIE ANOTHER DAY ultimately wastes his and Berry’s talents.
Please go ahead and rank the Craig Bond films with pending comment for NTTD.
Can we get the preliminary ranking before Christmas perhaps? Great channel man!
Pierce's first two were good, his last two were not.
4. Die another Day
3. The world is not enough
2. Goldeneye
1. Tomorrow never dies is the only one that follows the proper bond formula that made the Moore films so good. I can't agree Joe with no1. TWINE was bad. Decent story but Renard with the bullet in his head and Denise Richards? takes this film down.
Timothy Dalton
2. The Living Daylights
1. Licence to kill
George Lazenby
OHMSS is in my top 5.
My ranking of the brosnan bond movies BEST to WORST
DAD
TND
GE
TWINE
What do you think of my ranking?
Here's my ranking
Tomorrow Never Dies > Goldeneye = The World Is Not Enough > Die Another Day (even though, I do considered DAD as "the last *Classic James Bond* movie" we can all agree that it's the weakest Brosnan's Bond movie)
1. GoldenEye - clearly the best Brosnan 007 film
2. Die Another Day - Brosnan is at his best here; I actually have fun with this movie (yes, I'm a Moonraker fan)
3. World is Not Enough - kinda' a dreary, forgettable movie for me, feels small, feels rushed, just isn't much fun
4. Tomorrow Never Dies - my least favorite Brosnan; generic 90s action movie, Michelle Yoeh feels like she belongs in another genre of movie and has no chemistry with Brosnan, villains are lame, locations are drab, mostly bad sets. I really dislike this movie.
I love Goldeneye, TND was great at the time but ends a bit COD, Twine has gotten better with age, DAD has an ok first hour but completely loses it in the last hour imo.
1. Goldeneye
2. Tomorrow Never Dies
3. The World Is Not Enough
4. Die Another Day
To me Brosnan's movies got weaker with every entry. However I do adore Goldeneye (#3 overall) and Tomorrow Never Dies (#8 overall). I also feel like The World Is Not Enough is underrated too and a good film. Die Another Day has a few things going for it but it's greates achievement was making Casino Royale possible in my opinion.
Back in the Remington Steele era when Brosnan was touted as Roger Moore's heir apparent, I thought he was a lightweight. In fact, in correspondence with future Bond author Raymond Benson, he agreed. We both preferred an actor like....Timothy Dalton.
What ultimately changed my mind was Brosnan's performance as a KGB assassin in the 1987 movie The Fourth Protocol. There's a scene where Brosnon is sharply dressed as he enters a sporty car and I thought: "Damn! He really would make a cool James Bond!"
Geat video as always,
Wonder how the franchise would have developed if Peirce had got the part in 86 and Tim came after him
In other words their eras were the other way round?
17:50 I always assumed the reason was that she was keeping an eye on proceedings, and there as a backup to kill him if things didn't plan out. But you're right, best not to overthink
Tomorrow Never dies feels more like an update of You Only Live Twice than Goldfinger to me
