when i first saw this on tape and about 10 year after it have be release and i think it be one of the good james bond movie . however and after see it again around the turn of the century and i be disappointed . i think it a bit overrate only because critic be so happy to see sean connery end his 12 year hiatus from play bond that they do not dare criticize the film . i guess what disappoint me be the end . after invest two hour into the film and you expect a less hokey and more satisfying end . and and it may be nitpick and but i be disappoint in not see the regular actor in the support role such a miss moneypenny and q and felix leiter and etc . on the positive side and there be plenty of unique action scene and particularly early on and and the two villain be interest . i think klaus maria brandauer be the more intriguing of the two because he be so low key and look the nice guy next door . he wasn not your normal bond villain . this have plenty of skin and for a pg movie and especially with kim basinger star and never be an actress know for hide her figure . the language be very tame and but most bond movie be pretty good in that department . all in all and it a fair bond and nothing else . just because connery be in it and it doesn not mean it automatically good . roger moore and pierce brosnan have prove they could play the role well and too .
