They see how good the movie otherwise is and it helps prop up a bloke who simply cannot act.
It's basically the inverse of the Pierce Brosnan-era Bond; Brosnan was probably the best all around Bond actor of them all, but had the misfortune of being given the absolute worst scripts. The only reason Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are held in any regard is because Brosnan performs a Herculean Labour to make them watchable. Without Brosnan they are on the level of Moonraker and A View To Kill.
God, Brosnan deserved Casino Royale.
brosnan sucks ass dude
he's a charisma void and an irish brainlet irl who thinks because bond is a spy that means he can never smile or show emotion
he's just a terrible actor in general, moore wipes the floor with him, and sean bean embarrasses him in goldeneye with his vastly superior performance, as does the girl who plays elektra later on
No. This is straight up bullshit. Say what you want about his movies but the guy himself was an excellent James Bond with charisma only second to the man himself Connery.
Brosnan perfectly merged the campy bravado of Moore with the cool wit and good looks of Connery. He was the perfect Bond actor, and Eon absolutely fricking wasted him.
This. I enjoy watching him the most. Something about the way he talks, the way he looks and acts. It's soothing to the soul. I liked him most in Tomorrow Never Dies, he really perfected Bond in that movie. I enjoy Dalton but I really wish Pierce was able to do The Living Daylights and License to Kill. It's not even nostalgia, I didn't grew up with him as Bond. You could AI replace any of them with Brosnan in their movies and he would perfectly fit in there. It's incredible. I could see him in both Octopussy and License To Kill. It's a shame Cubby was an idiot who cut him because he was a TV star (Roger Moore was mainly a TV star, just so you know) and Barbara for hiring Purvis and Wade and those meandering scripts.

It's fascinating, after Lazenby got the boot they originally wanted to go with Dalton but he passed on the role because he didn't think he was old enough to do it justice. When it came time to replace Moore they approached Brosnan but he passed on the role for the same reason Dalton had done 15 years previous. GoldenEye was originally going to be Dalton movie but it took so long to write that Dalton stepped down because he felt he had gotten too old.

George Lazenby put in a better performance than Sean Connery was doing by the point of You Only Live Twice, and he declined pretty noticeably by Diamonds Are Forever. George Lazenby would have handled both the preceding and proceeding films just fine, in terms of his acting abilities, at least around as well as he did in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Sean Connery had grown tired of the role, and it became a passionless project for the money. George Lazenby disappeared for similar reasons, though.
Lazenby walked because he somehow got it in his head that he had the leverage and wit to start demanding script changes and direction changes despite it being his first bloody film role, and when Eon told him to stay in his lane and pay his dues he took it as a personal attack.

Correction on some parts. Brosnan didn't turn it down. Quite the contrary. He was given the role due to a TV show that cancelled making him known and he signed the contract and was ready to go but the channel caught wind of him becoming Bond and brought back the show because they're israelites. They let Pierce film the movie and then come back to film the episodes but Cubby cut the contract due to not wanting his new Bond to be associated with TV which is insane since Moore was a TV star too. This leads into him wanting Dalton and not Brosnan and giving this dumb excuse. He actually approached Dalton first but he had scheduling conflicts and Brosnan was a compromise. I wish Dalton got over that and did OHMSS. It would have won Oscars.

I don't think there was any chance of Lazenby doing another even if he didn't walk from the role, as soon as Broccoli learned he could get Connery back for DAF I think Lazenby would've got the boot regardless. OHMSS made like half the money of You Only Live Twice
He did. It would be his For Your Eyes Only and him with Eva and Mads would be too fricking kino. Daniel Craig just isn't cut out for it no matter how many years passed.
This. Anyone pretending Lazenby wasn't absolutely atrocious is a fricking moron.

It's fine
But nowhere near the level of a FRWL in terms of espionage and far worse than a goldeneye in terms of action
It's also bizarrely dark for a Bond movie
it's frickin terrible and I'm tired of people larping like it isn't. lazenby is a shit actor with a butt-chin. he can wipe his ass and blow his nose at the same damn time. the guy playing blowjob is a charisma-vacuum. the hench-b***h looks like she smells like tobacco and cat piss (bonus points to her), James falls for the most BORING, MID-b***h of ANY movie. again, they could have at least hired a supermodel if they insisted on Theresa being played by someone with negative charisma. the whole movie is a CHORE to watch. it would have been better suited with ANYONE else (yes, even Craig). no, I'm not filtered, you're just GAY.
My problem isn't who he falls for, my problem is that he falls for her in what's basically a separate movie. Why the frick would you not integrate that character into the main story considering he goes to a location that has a dozen girls?
It's... okay? It's proto-Craig, so if that's what you're into, I'm sure you're going to find this movie to be good.
OHMSS is the movie that every edgy 70s kid jerked themselves off to because it was so much "smarter" than the Moore and Connery ones (spoiler:it's not). But it does have a darker tone, yes, and takes itself more seriously - too seriously, really, given how abysmal Lazenby is in the role and how bad the script is.
Its shares with structure with Casino Royale in the sense that the first 30% of the movie is completely irrelevant and should be cut. OHMSS does it to draw a female audience into a shitty romance that's no longer relevant till the end of the movie, while Casino Royale did it so that the boomers and international audiences wouldn't fall asleep from the lack of action and would feel their ticket was worth it.
If you want a way to put it in context, then OHMSS was to Bond what it came out what the Batman was to the Nolan trilogy.
Do people actually care about the Bond girls? I have not committed any of them to memory, and never cared about any of them as characters. They were just distractions from the cool spy stuff and action. The only ones I even remotely remember is one of them being a useless moron on an oil rig incapable of working a gun, and the Hongkongese kung fu one from one of the Brosnan flicks.
>The only ones I even remotely remember is one of them being a useless moron on an oil rig incapable of working a gun
That's probably the funniest scene in any Bond movie. God, I love DAF.
How is that a deranged opinion? She might not be the hottest but she's an actual character played by a great actress
She's ugly, which is an unforgivable sin for any Bond girl. It doesn't help that the movie also features one of the hottest girls in the entire franchise which allows for contrasting the uggo directly.

of coursh it's good
Yes. Very good.
Excellent Bond story let down by the worst Bond actor. If Connery had done it, it would indisputably be considered the magnum opus for the franchise.

that's a totally unfair assessment of brosnan and I say that as a daltongay
To say Brosnan has no charisma is a fricking insane statement and any Bond fan can say so.
>Brosnan deserved Casino Royale
He did. It would be his For Your Eyes Only and him with Eva and Mads would be too fricking kino. Daniel Craig just isn't cut out for it no matter how many years passed.

Bored out of his mind Connery is still 10x the actor le chocolate commercial man is
It's unironically the best film in the franchise
It's fine

>great ski chase
>most girls ever fricked in a single bond movie

what a deranged opinion
have you even watched the other bond movies?
How is that a deranged opinion? She might not be the hottest but she's an actual character played by a great actress

He bangs so many hot chicks and the theme song is based
