A James Bond movie is always entertaining!

My James Bond movie experience started long enough ago that Sean Connery will always be the definitive '007'. Regardless I still enjoy all the others too because the story and the character are bigger than one actor.

Here Pierce Brosnan, in his 40s, is James Bond. His nemesis in this movie is Jonathan Pryce as Elliot Carver. He has a broadcasting empire but he wants world domination and that requires that he extend into China.

His approach is to start a conflict, most likely WW3, by duping the Chinese into thinking they were being attacked by the West. His plan is to use his special "stealth" ship to launch a drilling torpedo that will cut through the hull of a warship and steal a nuclear weapon. Ultimately this weapon will be launched at China. Bond must sort out the plan and stop it.

One hallmark of Bond movies is the various gadgets that he is provided with, plus a car that can do lots of things ordinary cars can't. He is joined by Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin, an accomplished fighter. One of my old favorites has a role, Teri Hatcher as trophy wife Paris Carver. Unfortunately she doesn't make it all the way to the conclusion.

Entertaining movie.
