Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has said he found the latest 007 adventure Spectre to be "kind of weak" and "too long".

Brosnan played Bond in four films, GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002) before being officially replaced by Daniel Craig in 2005.

Spectre marks the 24th big screen outing of the super spy and Brosnan told HitFix that he thought it could have been better.

"The story was kind of weak – it could have been condensed. It kind of went on too long. It really did," he said. "[Spectre] is neither fish nor fowl. It's neither Bond nor Bourne. Am I in a Bond movie? Not in a Bond movie?"

The Irish actor did however heap praise on current Bond, Daniel Craig, saying, "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."
