Brosnan imo struck the right balance for bond, he had some moments that reminded Me of Connerys bond and Moores when they had to be cold and calculated for certain parts, He also had the vulnerability in certain parts of the films but unfortunately a lot of people didn't believe that and think demmi crank's the only one that tried (except he failed being emotional to Me), brosnans bond got put in a torture camp in the beginning of die another day, this bond was tortured a lot but a lot of people seem to forget that, he had to tap into his cold assasin side when electra put a gun to his head, drank for a while to forget what happened in tomorrow never dies after the girl he slept with later dies, got betrayed by an old friend believed dead who then worked for the other side which forced bond to take action (ie for him not england since it became personal).
I still don't get how some people can say Brosnans bond was too lighthearted and to some people a joke when this evidence makes him just as good as Connery and Moore imo, this is what bond should be an evolution of the character the retains similar elements of previous bonds and makes them his own whilst still making it familiar and drawing you in instead of ripping it all apart for an emo angsty bond who seems more vulnerable then a small kid in a playground at school on his first day if he didn't fit in.
I like bond being somewhat vulnerable sometimes but still winning in the end to being good humored, suave and a cool killer but craig made him into a complete sissy in cr imo, I anticipated the car scene and thought now the film's going back on track and where gonna get a good bond car chase scene but that was shortlived.
I personally think a perfect role for craig would be playing the character Steve Myqueen played in the great escape, he's got the attitude, look and he even did the bike stunt in quark.
