Actually, we were a bit disappointed in the latest Bond flick. We went on a Bond rampage and watched about 10 of the films before seeing the new one over Thanksgiving weekend.
Sean was the best Bond, but Pierce is #2 in line as a believable double OO.

But the new film was way too mannered - the Mission Impossible fast video techniques were distracting and the surf sequence in the artic was just plain bad C.G. The thing that makes Bond films distinctive from other action thrillers is that so many of the stunts are genuine. And I felt like I was watching video game graphics when the iceberg broke - did anyone else notice this?
Madonna as a lesbian fencing instructor - now that's another discussion :)

I think "The World is Not Enough" has been Pierce's best film to date and the theme song by Garbage reminded me of the earlier catchy main title songs with Shirley Bassey crooning.

Just my 2 cents in exchange for the $18 tickets.
