They always try to link. Just like in Goldeneye Brosnan Bond in USSR in the open, after the song 9 yrs later. Placing him in USSR 1986 linking to Dalton. TSWLM, FYEO,LTK talk about Bonds marriage linking Moore,Dalton, to Lazenby's OHMSS. The only one that forgot to link anything is Connery's Bond in DAF.

A return for Brosnan would be a bad idea. Ppl were foaming at the mouth about Moore's 57 yr old Bond, Brosnan is 71. In all honesty if you watch Dalton's The Living Daylights it better balanced the action and humour like For your eyes only did. Brosnan always seemed awkward delivering the one liners with the exception of Goldeneye, though my favorite Brosnan film is Tomorrow never dies. Here my rankings of Brosnans films.

4. Die another Day

3. The world is not enough

2. Goldeneye

1. Tomorrow never dies

I think Bond can be whatever age in his first film. As a seasoned agent it was always better late 30's to early 40's. Moore was 45 in LALD and it worked. Despite what simps think even at 57 it worked in AVTAK. It even worked for Craig although he should have stopped after Skyfall, he didn't have the Hollywood handsome like the others. How is Martin Campbell a franchise expert? He directed two films. To get the opinion of a Bond expert ask John Glen he directed 5 films.

Moore is still my Bond. Like Brosnan's first two outings. I actually think Tomorrow never dies is his best as it follows classic Bond formula perfectly. Goldeneye was great too but lost the Bond feel by Cuba.

Opinions are like a--holes, everybody has one. Manuel, the fact you list Brosnan as the best, your not a real Bond fan. Till the end of time it will always be between Moore or Connery, depending what you look for in a film. For me Moore is Bond , Dalton is my 2nd choice.

The series needs to go back to the fun, escapism the series represented from 62-97. Chris Hemsworth has the look of Bond, and honestly could balance somewhere between Moore,Connery.
