While I like Pierce Brosnan as Bond, this movie is simply awful. The story is weak, jumping from location to location without reason. When I saw the helicopter with a giant saw hanging from it, I about lost it. How lame. At least that was an original idea. 'World' didn't have many. This film even rips off other Bond films, i.e. the ski chase, the boat chase over land, and riding through a pipeline. And while I'm certainly no nuclear physicist, I don't think you can take the core of a nuclear weapon and turn it into a rod for a nuclear reactor in 15 minutes!! It was refreshing to see John Cleese as R, but nearly all of the humor in this film (including Cleese's) was far over the top. Maybe that's just typical Bond, but it's never been this bad. Robert Carlyle gave an impressive performance as Renard. It's just too bad that performance was wasted in this movie. Robbie Coltrane reprises his role as Valentin and did a very good job. His scenes were at least entertaining in this otherwise unbearable movie.
