This really is a superb bond and is one of the series' best and I think it's right up there with Goldfinger and The Spy who loved me! Many things impress me about the film and here are a few
- The superb opening gunbarrel, the first to be done in CG and the remixed theme playing in the background probably makes this the best gunbarrel sequence in the entire series!
- Great music, very good at setting the Russian theme
- Superb action and the fight at the end between Bond and Alec is quite breathtaking and the height at which they are at is very dazzling
- Great plot and actors! Pierce is a great bond and Sean plays a very convincing villain

If you are pondering which bond movie to get out of the 20, maybe go for something like one of the Sean Connery films (You only live twice was the first bond film I ever saw), and then buy this! You will see the best of the new and the old bond!

Brosnan was born to play Bond.
He ignites the screen in his first outing. When a powerful satellite system falls into the ally-turned-enemy 006 ( Sean Bean ). Only 007 can save the world from an awsome space weapon that in one short pulse destroy the world.
What makes the film so good is a number of things. First it's Brosnan, he excells with the charm of Moore and the dark of Connery and Dalton,. He plays the part to perfection. Sean Bean is very good as Bonds' friend turned enemy. Martin Campell directs the film with brilliant cool tension and amazing action scenes. This film is a brilliant roller coaster ride. and a must buy for all Bond fans !

I suppose you can't blame the makers of Bond for re-hashing, it's what they do. Brosnan is undeniably a great James Bond, Judi Dench is an inspired M, and Robbie Coltrane's Russian wheeler-dealer lifts the film out of the doldrums, but the baddies are eye-rollingly cheesy and inept.

Merely being a Bond film gets it the extra star - but if it wasn't, people would be decrying this for being way too tame.

See 'The World Is Not Enough' or 'Casino Royale' for modern Bond done right.

I have to say, this is one of the best Bond films in the whole franchise, and Brosnan pulls off the character with aplomb. Sadly, this "ultimate" DVD claiming to be remastered frame-by-frame, still has odd bits cut out of it. The glaring one is Famke sporting her underwear in a long coat to entice the copter pilots away...cut to just a top half shot. Still a great DVD with remastered sound if you love that sort of thing.

Cant love this film more. The film the hit N64 game was made for. Brosnan's best by far, he did a great job as the new Bond. Then again Tim Dalton did not have big shoes to fill... Great film!

Brosnan's debut as Bond was the best Bond movie since the '60s. He was the perfect man to play Bond in the '90s.

This "comeback" movie got the formula of action, stunts and humour absolutely right. The pre-credits scene is one of the very best and, in his first film, Brosnan is confident and commanding. The girls are fabulous. Like other Bonds, however, only a slightly weak final act drags things down a bit.

A great action film with Brosnan immediately looking comfortable in the part, fine support from Famke Janssen and the unforgettable tank chase make this a classic. Sadly the DVD features a transfer that is worse than the last issue and while it restores violent footage cut out of the UK release the version cut in the US by the MPAA remains unseen
