CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

rupak_speaking It is more like a remake of the overused formula plot of old Bond movies where a megalomaniac steals and strikes the superpowers from a hideout to create a misunderstanding and start WWIII and become the principal bargainer in the process. It lacked intrigue, suspense, twists, not that many of Bond movies have that, but was far too straightforward, predictable and cliche. I always liked Brosnan , he is one of the better Bonds I felt, hope he had something more play to with in the opportunities he got to play this iconic character. 6/10

praestans Bit of a patchwurk quilt of set pieces, this wun and not too tightly stitcht together. Weak story and plot. I feel sorry for Brosnan - he just didn't get the breaks although he's a much better actor than Craig - and can pronounce 'one' 'wun' -correctly unlike the northerner Craig who's not really a good actor.Incoherent story telling, too much vehicular for 'stars' Michelle Yeoh - there because of Crouching Tiger. And gadgets and BMW - car, motorbike...and more gadgets galor really are the stars. Bond (litrally takes a back seat). The dialog seems choppy and wooden...and the villain...more suited to panto in Brighton. Always cringewurthy when non-actors appear...the directors, the producers really let this wun go. And the americanising in the film eg 'elevator' instead of 'lift' is just plain inauthentic. This is a very dull blunt unengaging soulless Bond. No amount of gadgetry nor stunting (some just silly) can substitute plot and story. This is just amateur...Alas.

tomasg-69814 Quite annoying James Bond Movie, I think this was/are. Can't help it; It just never comes to me, how many times I ever try to absorb this movie fair and square.*Pierce Brosnan continuing his mission as James B. quite moderate, almost in a diminished way. He sometimes disappears in the exhibit of sponsor cars and cell-phones, occasionally seems to get in the more silly smiling "Moore"-way. (Sorry about that, Roger....) 5 out of 10.*To me, Jonathan Pryce might be the most annoying and demanding villain of the whole Bond Encyclopedia. As Elliot Carver, a widely rich publisher, who's thirst after breaking news gets unsound. Overacting like h*** when shouting out his devastating plans (to get total control over world media) to anyone who comes in his way. 2 out of 10.*Teri Hatcher's brief cameo does not do her talents right. Just playing the usual symbol wife to Mr. Evil, and happens to have some 007 past stories. 4 out of 10.*Chinese agent Michelle Yeoh is a partner to old Jimmy in the same political way we've seen before. One participant from both the threatened sides. (Does it quite fresh and in a nice way, by all means.) But some super hero stuff pulls the grade some downwards. 5 out of 10.*Sheryl Crow is a favorite of mine, who's musicality has given me much pleasure over the years since the arrival on the public scene in the mid 90's. Being a talented studio musician/singer for years, working with - among others- Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart and Sting, she wanted to try the wings of her own, which went out pretty well. With catchy music and good looks a woman can hypnotize the world, that's for sure.But this theme score I found kind of anemic back then, and it didn't matured over the years either. An easy forgotten tune in my ears. 4 out of 10.*SUMMARY: The one - kind of - less good 90's James Bond. ( OK, there were only three of them...)There were some slight improvement to come in two years time, before the disastrous Brosnan Good-Bye in 2002.

nicholls_les Really love this film apart from the villain Elliot Carver who is just rubbish and possibly the worst Bond villain ever. That said there is a lot to like about this film. Pierce Brosnan is at his best and I personally prefer the way he portrays Bond to Daniel Craig who looks more like a builder than a Spy.007 is on a mission to avert war between china and the West that Elliot Carver is manipulating to sell more news on his global media empire. On the way Bond meets up with his former lover, played by the beautiful Teri Hatcher who is now Carver's wife. Bond joins forces with Wai Lin played by the amazing Michelle Yeoh and the Motorbike chase is better than most car chases in certain other films I can think of. the action is fantastic.Only down side is the ending which seems a bit of an anti-climax, but overall another brilliant Bond film by the amazing Mr Brosnan.
