# Dpends.
If you like Roger Moore, knock yourself out. If you're more of a literary Bond fan, I really, really wouldn't bother.

# Actually, if you like plots that make any sense,
I wouldn't bother.

# And by 'literary Bond',
I don't include that awful piece of Deaver shite, Carte Wank.

# Spose.
The books and the films diverged quite early on with a couple of exceptions. Personally, I prefer the Fleming books and one or two of those that followed, although almost none of the John Gardner books were worth reading twice. Or once in many cases. Sebastian Ffaulkes did a good job and it's a shame he didn't try to get another shot at it. They picked Jeffrey Deaver to write one and it was a dripping pile of wanksocks. About 200 pages too many and it's utter, crushing dullness can be summed up with one short quotation about how th henchman fancied his boss:
"His love for him had to remain as buried and as dangerous as a VS-90 landmine."

# Most beautiful Bond film, ever.
Its nomination for an Oscar in cinematography was well-deserved.

# So it's a 'Thin Red Line' then?
I loved it, mates hated it, but I did have that hash-cake beforehand?

# Climatictic fight scen- Ooooh, jellyfish.
Could have been 40 minutes shorter and still found the plot rattling round in the empty cage of the rest of the film. The cast were great - no doubt about that and some of the imagery was good, but there was way too much of it for the poor-quality dialogue, plot and action.
