Owen Gleiberman

The savviest and most exciting Bond adventure in years, and that's because there's actually something at stake in it. Read full review

John Patterson

The result is the niftiest Bond movie in years -- fresh, funny, and jammed to the rafters with demented stunts, Boys'-Own gadgetry and brazen promiscuity. Read full review

Peter Travers

Brosnan, in his fourth time up at the Bond bat, hits this one out of the park. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Surely it will not be giving things away to tell you there's absolutely nothing new about the latest episode. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Beginning to creak not only with age but with the strain of constant self-one-upmanship in giving us exotic locales, explosive geopolitics and unbelievable stunts. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Frank Lovece

The non-action scenes are so pedestrian that one suspects the good stuff is less due to workmanlike director Lee Tamahori than to one of the best second-unit crews in the biz. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

Dissing a Bond movie is quite like calling a dog stupid, but when it has the temerity to run over two hours, you feel like winding up with a kick. Read full review

A good film, not up to the standard of some of the old classics but good enough, compare it to casino royale and it could be a 10. However, looking at this film compared to the films that were around when they made it, they made a few errors in the writing and designing of it. Firstly Halle A good film, not up to the standard of some of the old classics but good enough, compare it to casino royale and it could be a 10. However, looking at this film compared to the films that were around when they made it, they made a few errors in the writing and designing of it. Firstly Halle Berry's acting in the film was bad, not terrible, but bad, secondly, they managed to make the first 30 mins of the film, almost the best I've seen in any bond film so compared to this, the rest of the movie jsut seems slightly toned down, through to the car chase scene at the end, some of the CG was also pretty cheesy but on the whole worked well. Overall though a thoroughly enjoyable film… Expand

Points taken off for the Madonna song. But it was great seeing Pierce Bronson with Halle Berry. And I actually liked John Cleese as Q. The invisible car was OK.

Sadly this movie is all quips and no punch-line. The effects are bad, even for the time and the acting even worse. Probably Pierce Brosnan's worst Bond flick.

An awful, convoluted & ugly mess. It is very fun though, in a schlock kind of way.

Directed by Lee Tamahori and produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, has script Robert Wade and is the twentieth film in the franchise. In this film, Pierce Brosnan plays 007 for the last time, next to Halle Berry, in the role of Jinkx, Rosamund Pike, in the role of MirandaDirected by Lee Tamahori and produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, has script Robert Wade and is the twentieth film in the franchise. In this film, Pierce Brosnan plays 007 for the last time, next to Halle Berry, in the role of Jinkx, Rosamund Pike, in the role of Miranda Frost, Rick Yune, in the role of Zao, John Cleese, in the role of Q and Toby Stephens, in the role of Gustav Graves.

In this film, James Bond returns to active after being captured and tortured in North Korea, where he remained abandoned by the country he served. He will try to pursue those responsible for his arrest, in particular the traitor who he suspects exist within MI6's ranks. For this, he will have to investigate a network of smuggling of blood diamonds and an eccentric millionaire who has a reputation for never sleeping.

This is undoubtedly the worst film of Bond franchise, to date. If there is any Bond movie where everything went wrong, is this. Pierce Brosnan, who in this film says goodbye to 007, was never convincing as James Bond. He tried, did his best and that's positive, but he never truly fit in the role. And if his previous films had been saved by the excellent quality of the villains and other stuff like that, it doesn't happen in this movie. Toby Stephens works well as Graves, but his character proved to be an unlikely villain. The public simply don't believe in his character or the history around it. Rosamund Pike is a terrible choice for a Bond-girl, as her character tried to be, at some point. She is the antithesis of any bond-girl, but the script was able to make up for it in the end, when Miranda showed not be as friendly as she (ever) seemed. Finally, we have the worst participation of all: Hale Brest... ops, Berry! This actress simply has no talent. She has big breasts, only that. And if that is enough to be a good bond- girl, the world is lost. The script is another problem: despite giving focus to strong and relevant subjects such weapons and diamonds trafficking or the constant military tension in North Korea, the way the film deals with it is simply unacceptable, unlikely and far-fetched. We could accept that in the early films of the franchise, but now the public expects more and that was simply forgotten. Last but not least, the film continues to suffer from continuity errors, paradoxes and faults unworthy of cinema professionals, in addition to the massive advertising sponsors, showed in all sequences and almost every scene. Bond is a action character or a pretty face to sell things?! The opening theme of this film, sung by Madonna, was very trendy to be precisely Madonna's. But even that could have been better and more interesting.… Expand
