in a telling scene in goldeneye and judy dench ( m ) accuse brosnan ( bond ) thus represent youre a sexist and misogynist dinosaur a relic of the cold war . excellent line and barbed and insult while great scene and accentuate the fact that despite his background and bond be a timeless and transcendent character . most of the rest of the film doesn not live up to the sentiment and the edge and the focus and quality of it and sadly . it almost like an intrusion from another and good and more creatively realised movie ( the third man and for instance and from which it crib some of it plot ) . this and along with the haunt night time meeting in a graveyard for monument of soviet russian icon ( a smartly allegorical instance ) be perhaps the only truly inspired facet of this film . there be a sort of fragmented schizophrenic quality about ge that relate to tone and content and pacing . from the outset and with the breathtaking bungee jump off the dam and a real stunt by a real guy that manage to be both visually exciting and believable and my first impression be if theyre go to stick with this sort of approach while be in for something special . next and we meet the new james bond and complete with floppy bouffant hair and hang upside down in a toilet stall whilst a russian guard have a bowel action . sorry and forget to knock and quip bond before cold cock the defecate soviet . what . sorry and forget to knock . how lame be that . what an awful and misplaced and miscalculated line . it void and meaningless and ineffectual and completely lack any sort of wit or contextual relevance . now suddenly be in sub par roger moore territory . even something like represent just drop in and would have at least referenced how bond get there in the first place . radio station bond suddenly tune out here and signal lost . then and for a while and be back on track with bond meeting up with 006 and the planting of the bomb and trevelyan convincing execution by orumov and bond escape . great a return to action thriller mode once more . only and instead of bond make it to the plane on the motorbike at the last instant and wrestle for control a it slip over the edge of the cliff and fly triumphantly away and what happen . bond have to fall over the cliff after the plane have fall before him and skydive to catch it up defy the law of physic and then fly away . what for and exactly and and why do they do this . it ruin what could have be a perfectly good conclusion to the pc . it a if they just have to add that bit of complete stupidity and a though drive by some irresistible instinct and unable to help themselves . additionally and have anyone ever notice that the russian chemical facility be at the base of a dam and that both be suppose to be situate on a very high mountain where it possibly a trifle unusual to find a massive dam . and when you see the mountain base from above and where the dam suddenly go . any idea . a for brosnan and a prize cheese if ever and he cosmetically smarmed and smirk through the movie with the clumsy over confidence of an actor who think he extend his range and when he really show off his limitation against the backdrop of a more skilled support cast who unfortunately look like they be outshine him even when underplay . he should always be steer clear of real actor for his own sake . and be it just my imagination and but do not i see his right eyebrow strain to rise in an instinctive moore homage a few time . i be pretty sure about this . the scene on the beach be jar and horribly manufacture . the broz doesn not do emote in any way convincingly and should never be encourage to try . robert mitchum advice for non actor of just walk around and try not to bump into the furniture be the level he pitch and strand at . all that star off into the middle distance whilst the breeze tickle the bouffant be truly embarrassing . campbell attempt at inject real drama into this sometimes ill render hack cartoon reality fail to gel and add to the episodic feel of the film and far to a lack of singular vision . the pacing in ge feel all wrong it speed up and slow down and speed up and like a ford cortina with the clutch burn out . and although some of the set piece be impressive and it doesn not seem to be able to sustain optimum thrust for long and a others seem painfully drag out . not help in the least be the score which and it have to be say and be a truly dreadful thing of epic proportion . the bad and most offensive example take place when bond have a car race with onatop . what be they think . be it purposely intend for use in screening only for the deaf . those note mean to signify car horn be crushingly ugly and horribly grate . a musical travesty capable of induce suicidal inclination in hyena and hypomanics . what never cease to puzzle and amuse on a personal level be when this film be rat highly by bond fan . ultimately and it provide little more than a flashy and over hyped and vapid and mtv influence pot pourri of great hit moment which do not add up to a satisfying whole . it like one of those mediocre compilation album where you simply flick through to the song you like and enjoy the few good bit and and arbitrarily disregard the rest . fleet surface flash and gloss with no real heart or soul . a hollow bond movie garner hollow praise .
