It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This is your typical James Bond movie with his spying on Russia and interacting with his superiors and lots of gorgeous girls (this time, though, they actually added some political correctness in the dialogue!), breathtaking and improbable stunts, spy devices,and great chases. Piece Brosnan was impressive in his first outing as Bond, and everything about this movie was first rate. Exciting with a good plot too! He was after a renegade spy satelite. If you are a Bond fan, you will love this movie. *** out of ****

This movie is fun right from the start... Crazy, action packed yet with a lot of emotions.. Pierce looks very classy and is superb with sarcasm.. Each and every one of the cast holds their own amazingly.. A special mention to Natalya (Izabella Scorupco), who is smart, brave, compassionate and beautiful and Xenia (Famke Janssen), bold, confident, deliciously negative. The action sequences were outstanding - be it the indulgent tank scenes, the thrilling library chase, the 'do or die' train sequence or the explosive 'Golden Eye' climax.This movie is high on emotions as well, making your heart melt for 007 as well as Natalya. Truly, a Bond girl who craves her own identity. The movie is funny, charming and won't leave you disappointed.

James Bond teams up with the lone survivor of a destroyed Russian research center to stop the hijacking of a nuclear space weapon by a fellow agent formerly believed to be dead.This film brings James Bond into the post-Soviet era, so the old balance of power is not quite the same. But, in many ways, it has not changed at all, and the Russians are still key adversaries. It's complicated.Brosnan is a good Bond. I didn't grow up watching the series, but if I did he would have been my generation's Bond. And, frankly, he's pretty good. Maybe not as iconic as Connery or Moore, but it's hard to step into the shoes of giants. With ll due respect to Daniel Craig, I think Brosnan was (as of 2017) the last great Bond.

James Bond Fans had Waited Six Years for the New James Bond (after Timothy Dalton) and the New Bond Film. What They got was a Big, Bombastic, Loud, Kill-Fest with Non-Stop Action.Some of it so Over the Top that it seemed a Tribute to Roger Moore. The One Liners are some of the Lamest in the Series with almost Every One Falling Flat. They also got Pierce Brosnan.Brosnan Slides into the Role with Relative Ease, although it must be said that the Frame is Overflowing with Explosions, Machine Gun Fire, Fisticuffs, Gadgets, Trains, Plains, Cars, Computer Screens, and a Tank Ride that has to be Seen to be Believed and even then it won't be Believed. Because it is simply, Unbelievable.Much in the New Bond is Unbelievable. That's Never been a Problem for Bond Movies. But there is a line, and Roger Moore Crossed it many times, that is Beyond Fiction and Ventures into Far Far Away Land. This one goes there more than once.On the Positive, the Bond Girls are Engaging, Good Looking, and Fun. Famke Janssen and Izabella Scorupco are, in Keeping with Modernity, Sexy and Utilitarian. The rest of the Supporting Cast doesn't fair as well, including a Miscast Joe Don Baker who doesn't quite reach "Pepper" Land, but is in Danger of coming close.Sean Bean is Memorable and Occasionally brings Bond back to Earth for some Soul Searching and Judy Dench Debuts as "M" without Fanfare.It is undeniably a Fun Movie and Bond Fans Rank it Quite High. May be Overrated. Casual Viewers like it, but Purist wish there could have been more in the Timothy Dalton Style. After Four Brosnan Bonds, They got Their Wish
