7/10
Entertaining, good action, likeable stars
23 July 1999
There are two things that appeal to me in the latest James Bond installment. Pierce as James Bond the very suave, sophisticated and incredibly good looking spy and Michele Yeoh. It was nice to see a Bond girl who could really fight, even better than Bond himself who seems to run away from trouble rather than Yeoh who seemed to attract it. Teri Hatcher was a waste of space, it was a poor role, made worse because she was in it. Jonathan Pryce was a great villain as the media mogul, was he based on anyone in particular? I think So! The product placement was a bit much, although i'm sure it provided most of the funding for the film. Bonds gadgets were great but the story was a bit stupid. I guess they are a little stuck for ideas since the Cold War ended. Still it was fun to watch.
