TND is far better than World is Not Enough and Due Another Day, IMO.

I enjoyed The World is Not Enough A bit more than TND although I was expecting a bit more out of Robert Carlyle's performance & wasn't particularly enamoured with Denise Richards as a Bond girl, in fact....

Hell Paul! Your right, I've changed my mind. TND is better than TWINE , but as for Die Another Day. Invisible cars.....

Awful, awful, awful! (& I'm not gonna mention Madonna.... Ahh crap I just did! )

Carlyle's character was such a wasted opportunity.

I thought TWINE developed the character of James Bond, it proved he had no problems killing women and it was all just part of the job.

Die Another Day began really well, again, developing Bond as a rogue (ish) agent, but it all became too sfx heavy upon reaching Iceland. The sword fight is excellent, both actors look like they really mean it.

Madonna's brief performance is ok, but her song is an abomination.

TND deserves some credit for the casting of Vincent Schiavelli in a (sadly) minor role . . .

... it also gets plus points for being the first one to be scored by David Arnold, going back to classy John Barry style orchestration after the godawful score that plagued Goldeneye . . .

Jesus! I can't stand Arnold or his music. It seems to me that he breaks out the Bond theme at every opportunity he can (probably no more than the earlier films though, and just my imagination because of my feelings).

Really? I live Arnold's scores and really dig the retro riffs. Was really unimpressed with the usually brilliant Eric Serra and his score for GoldenEye though.
