I first saw this in the early 2k on cable tv.
Revisited it recently.
This is the eighteenth in the Bond series and the second to star Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.
After the sinking of HMS Devonshire in the Chinese-occupied waters in the South China Sea and the killings of Devonshire's survivors with weaponry loaded with Chinese ammunition, Bond has only 48 hours to investigate its sinking and avert a conflict between the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom.
This one doesn't have a good pre credit scene but it has an awesome motorcycle chase sequence.
There is not sufficient action towards the end.
The villain Elliot Carver ain't that good.
This time Bond faces a psychopathic media mogul, Elliot Carver, hell bent on securing exclusive broadcasting rights in China for hundred years.
Bond also faces Dr. Kaufman and his student Stamper.
Bond gets to cool off with Cecilie Thomsen, Michelle Yeoh n Teri Hatcher.
We have idiot henchmen in this movie.
They try to break the car's windshield by hammer n other stuff but to no avail, they cud have tried shooting guns cos later when Bond flees with the car, the windshield breaks due to shooting.
The car chase sequence is silly cos Bond manages to evade everything including a bazooka by just remote controlling the car.
Some info on the great Dr. Kaufman : a professional assassin and a professor of forensic medicine (way before Dexter).
Kaufman loves bragging about his professionalism and how his services as an assassin are in demand all over the world. Of all the methods at his disposal, apparently his specialty is the celebrity overdose.
