An average movie

Personally, I always had a weak spot for Pierce Brosnan when he was playing James Bond. Sure, Daniel Craig is completely awesome as the famous spy and the guy completely owns the part now but Brosnan was also pretty good as well, just behind Connery and Craig in my opinion and I think he should get more credit for his turn as Mr Bond. However, if Pierce Brosnan was always awesome, the movies themselves were not always great though. Indeed, for example, this one was rather disappointing in my opinion. The first issue I had was with Sophie Marceau. I mean, sure, she looked great and, on paper, she sounded like a great choice to play a bad Bond-girl but, eventually, I thought that her performance was just pathetic. Usually, you don’t need the best acting chops to play a Bond-girl but her performance was so weak, it was just really distracting. Concerning Denise Richards, it was not much better, I’m afraid. Of course, she looked quite charming, but it was rather preposterous how she showed up completely random so that our beloved spy gets an attractive female sidekick. To conclude, to be honest, my rating might be a little bit harsh, but I thought it was rather weak, especially compared to the previous installments starring Pierce Brosnan and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
