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.

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
