Author: Jeffrey Caine & Bruce Feirstein

This was the first James Bond movie of the Pierce Brosnan era, and it’s terrific. I’ve seen it a few times of course, but it’d been years. On DVD this is one cool movie (especially watching it on a high-tech laptop ;-). This has everything you expect from a Bond film: amazing action, incredible locations and cinematography, sexy women, and high-tech gadgets. What more could a guy want? What I like best about Bond films — good Bond films — is that they are several films in one. You’ve got the intro sequence, which, when long, is like a mini-movie in itself. Then there’s the various stages of tracking down the Bad Guy — each sequence is like a separate movie, each bigger and badder than the previous. It’s totally cool and it’s what makes the Bond movies so over-the-top. I wasn’t that crazy about the last Bond, but I have high hopes for the latest (out next week, I believe). This just whetted my appetite.
