What a shame. Bond is left as nothing more than a set piece--everything that made him Bond seems to have been left out of this hollow and dull film.
Brosnan is good and does what he can with the role, but there's not much there. The script is plodding and transparent, Robert Carlyle is wasted, and the whole mess has gotten an unhealthy dose of stupidity. The redeeming qualities are Judi Dench, John Cleese, and a terrific performance from the other "Bond girl."
