The third Pierce Brosnan James Bond film.
The pros:
• A better script than Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
• A vulnerable villain (Robert Carlyle)
• M (Judi Dench) is given more of a part in the story
• Reasonably good theme song (by Garbage)
The cons:
• John Cleese is deeply unfunny as the successor to Q: not the right feel for the film at all
• The scene in which the baddie holds burning coal makes no sense. Even if he could feel no pain, as suggested, it would still have burned his flesh and destroyed his hand.
• The villain was dying anyway: so what was his real motivation? Love for Elektra?
