Oh, James, you do pick them!!
Advantages: Robert Carlyle is an amazing villain
Disadvantages: Slightly over the top
Glamour is increasing in the Bond productions, with the special effects and gadgetry associated with Bond, the famous Bond girls being portrayed by models or already well known actresses who are also treated as sex symbols, and Bond himself, here played by Pierce Brosnan for the third time. The new wave of the Bond team has by now set itself into a comfortable slot, and has attracted a good following with the style of filming and characterisation. ...
...another world domination plot.
The Plot
James Bond is sent to find the man who ordered the killing of M's friend, Sir Robert King, British oil tycoon. The assassin was under the employ of Renard, a man who had previously survived an assassination atempt by 009, but was left with a bullet in his head, leaving him impervious to pain. Believing King's daughter, Elektra, to be Renard's intended target, Bond is dispatched to protect her and the oil ...

The Irish Bond.
Advantages: All of the Brosnan films in one box with decent extra's.
Disadvantages: Product placement gets worse by the last film!!
...after the last Bond film, James Bond returned in Bond 17.
----The Films----
GoldenEye (1995)
This was the first vehicle that Brosnan appeared in and for me this is probably the better out the four films he made. It is moody, dramatic and will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Although in some places it does step up toi the line of unbelievable it does not cross it to the extent that a film like Charlie's Angels did.
The ...
...with the plot revolving around rouge agent 006 who steals the GoldenEye weapon with the intent of wiping out the Bank of England and all computer records in the City Of London. The weapon itself explodes a nuclear bomb in space and uses the electro magnetic pulse to wipe out anything below within a 30 mile radius, effectively eliminating the use of all electrical equipment.
The cast is made up of multi national actors, Sean Bean as 006, Joe Don ...

Underrated James Bond Entry
Advantages: Great cast, decent script
Disadvantages: Bit drab in places
After the fun but cut and paste Tomorrow Never Dies (which ran out of steam about halfway through) a slight change of direction was required for Pierce Brosnan's third adventure. Michael Apted, a director not known for action or adventure films, was chosen to helm the film. The emphasis was clear. Content that their stunt crews could handle the action, Eon decided to pick a director who could work with actors and give their cast more to do than simply ...
...be the stripped-down and more realistic Brosnan Bond. Did they succeed? The answer is almost. Apted is the biggest strength of the film but also a weakness.
At the start of the film Bond has to collect Sir Robert King's stolen money in Bilbao. Things go pear-shaped and he has to escape from a building several floors up. The scene illustrates how comfortable Brosnan is with the role now. "If you can't trust a Swiss banker, then what's the world come ...

Thunderheart Has Returned
Advantages: unusual suspenseful and believable story, superb acting
Disadvantages: knowing the tragic aspects were real
Thunderheart is a frequently overlooked masterpiece among thrillers. It manages to combine suspense, real cultural issues, history and occasional humour.
Val Kilmer plays RAYMOND LEVOI, an FBI agent with 1/4 Sioux descent. Based on his heritage he is chosen to solve a murder on the Sioux Nation Reservation in the Badlands, South Dakota. LEVOI joins a legendary senior FBI agent, FRANK COUTELLE (played by Sam Shepard), who has worked on the reservation ...
...rejecting his own Sioux heritage, LEVOI comes in contact with the sheriff of the tribal police, WALTER CROWHORSE (played by Graham Greene), and Grandpa SAMUEL REACHES (Chief Ted Thin Elk).
The murder they are investigating seems to be part of the ongoing clashes between traditionally minded Sioux and those in favour of the American Government.
As LEVOI begins to understand and embrace his roots, he finds that nothing is as it seems. In the end ...

The Complete James Bond, 'No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy...'
Advantages: Good collection of films, iconic characters, stylish presentation
Disadvantages: Out-dated in its collection
THE JAMES BOND COMPLETE COLLECTION
I brought this a while back and I must say it is excellent. The presentation is top-notch, the silver briefcase just about the coolest DVD container in the world. It chronicles every film from Sean Connery's 'Dr. No' to the more recent Pierce Brosnan outing 'Die Another Day'. Of course it does not hold the newest additions, Daniel Craig's 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace' but as these are generally new in ...
...watch, if not always for the story then definitely for the generational features. Think Roger more in his 70s safari suit, Sean Connery in his trilby. And then of course you have the women.
The big downside to this box set, of course, is that there's always going to be more James Bond films. It may not be in date for very long. Also the price is fairly steep, yet is falling due to the release of newer additions.
Despite this, in my opinion you ...
