Pierce Brosnan Shits On SPECTRE (2015)

Has it really been thirteen years since Pierce Brosnan played Bond?  And almost ten years since Daniel Craig lifted the torch?  Well now that he’s out of the picture Brosnan can safely comment on the new movies and it appears he is not a fan of SPECTRE.

Speaking with HitFix, he gave his review of the new film which praises Craig but points out several faults with the movie:

“I was looking forward to it enormously. I thought it was too long. The story was kind of weak – it could have been condensed. It kind of went on too long. It really did.

[‘Spectre’] is neither fish nor fowl. It’s neither Bond nor Bourne. Am I in a Bond movie? Not in a Bond movie? But Daniel, in the fourth go-round, has ownership of it. He had a nice looseness to him.

He’s a mighty warrior, and I think he found a great sense of himself in this one with the one-liners and a nice playfulness there. Just get a tighter story, and he’ll have another classic.”

If you ask me, ever since GoldenEye, Bond movies have all sucked.  To varying degrees.  I’m sick of the Bond property being treated like some sort of national treasure that is above criticism and simply needs to be adored as some type of mass cult.
