Pierce Brosnan second appearance and who better to have a hook up with is Teri Hatcher who looks stunning from behind and Jonathan Pryce as media magnet Elliot Carver who seems to know the news first hand and prints it with his own paper Tomorrow. What i like about this is the opening with nearly every terrorist at a flea market and Robinson making a few jokes, M and the Admiral (Geoffrey Palmer) comments to each other is just like re-watching a episode of As Time Goes By. Bond ends up teaming with Chinese secret agent Wai Lin played by Michelle Yeoh who Carver seems to imitate her fight scenes comically.
Brosnan seems more confident in this and easily liked in the role and does seem to pack a powerful punch that at times it doesn't seem to work a lot. Here he is given a BMW7 series that comes with a remote in the form of a Sony Ericsson (ah one of the best phones)with some good gadgets. Think this one one of Brosnan's best films in the franchise (IMO).

Best pre-credit sequence of any Bond film to date in my opinion. Truly exciting helped by some nerve jangling dialogue between Dench, Palmer and Colin Salmon.
