   I think of Brosnan as a softer version of the more comedic Moore. He was more   
   in the direction of the hard nosed portrayal I see in Craig's style.   
      
    RN>  PH> Hard pressed to pick a favourite one but SkyFall for it's plot etc.   
    RN>  PH> has been high on my list and GoldenEye was also good.   
    RN>    
    RN> I haven't seen Skyfall yet.  I'm not exactly a fan of Craig, but I'll   
    RN> give it a look.  For Your Eyes Only had everything in it.   
       
   Skyfall worked for me because I took characters well established by the   
   preceding two films (also with Craig) and shook things up. It was a risky   
   move on the part of the producers and those that hold the franchises IP but   
   also necessary to do IMHO as actors and actresses want to move on from a   
   franchise sooner or later. It also worked for me as theme song was on a par   
   with Shirley Bassey 'Goldfinger' for power and emotional impact, especially   
   when you review it after experiencing the plot. Lastly I liked it as it had   
   homages to past Bond history... you will enjoy a vehicular tip of the hat   
   when you see it.   
      
   Best, Paul
