Deserves More Credit as Bond

Don't get me wrong, Daniel Craig is doing a fantastic job, but I also don't believe he should only be praised at Brosnan's expense. Whatever your feelings are about Brosnan's take on the character, he deserves credit for reinvigorating the franchise. After all, it was dead...FOR SIX YEARS. While I think that Timothy Dalton's interpretation is underrated, audiences simply didn't warm to him that much. When Brosnan took the role in Goldeneye, he re-popularized the series. Each one of his Bond movies were hits...even his infamous last one. Sure, in retrospect, he wasn't as popular as Craig, but his films still made money, which ultimately brings us to Craig. So whether you care for him or not, Brosnan brought the series back from the dead and made James Bond popular again.
