I don't know about you guys, but after seeing Die Another Day (a great Bond film, IMHO) I expected to see Pierce Brosnan for a fifth trip in his Aston Martin. I didn't even think that he would stop at five films, as I read an article that Brosnan wished to to match up to Connery.
With that said, what do you, the fans, think Brosnan's fifth Bond film would have been like. Would producers go over the top like they did with their BO success, Die Another Day? Or would they tone things down, decide to take a risk and allow Pierce to truly let his acting skills shine? Would Damian Falco and Jinx return, setting up a loose sequel to DAD as rumoured?
I have no idea, but I will tell you what I expected.
I did not expect another Die Another Day sequel as many tabloids and websites speculated. I would have loved to see Jinx return, even the director mentioned that the two spies would meet again, but I knew that producers probably wouldn't allow it, based on fan's opinions of the 20th film.
What I was expected was something more GoldenEye-esque. Yes there would still be gadgets, but not as too many or over-the-top (i.e., no invisible cars!). The plot would be a little bit edgier, forcing Pierce to rely on acting and not CGI. Sure, there would be stunts galore and beautiful, exotic locations with Bond girls as goregous as always.
The film wouldn't be too extreme like Casino Royale (no Q or Moneypenny), but it would be more of that idea. Gimicky villains and bad dialogue would be replaced.
So, all in all, if Brosnan had stayed around (whether he was fired or quit), I was expected a Bond film that highlighted Brosnan's acting abilities and not the films gadgets and locations. Yes, those elements would still be there, but they would not overpower the actors' portrayals.
