Bond gains a hand from research scientist Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards), who witnesses the action which happens when Bond meets up with Renard, but Bond becomes suspicious about Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), especially when Bond's boss, M (Dame Judi Dench) goes missing.

At the beginning of the film, when Bond is in Swiss bank (in Spain), while reviewing the statement of account, the account listed is for "Sir Robert King", but the banker addresses him as Mr. Bond when the document is handed to him. Bond must be authorized to collect the money. The banker tells him "No doubt, Sir Robert will be pleased to see it again", showing that he knows Bond is not Sir Robert King. See more »

Better then the Critics say
4 December 2007 | by freemantle_ukSee all my reviews

I am disappointed about what a number of critics have said about this Bond film. The acting was great, especially Sophie Marceau. The plot was good and not out of the realms of possibility. The gadgets were realistic as well and the action was non-stop and fun. The direction by Michael Apted was also good and what I except from a Bond film My only criticisms was the casting of Denise Richards because she can't act and I would have casted someone older and John Cleese as R because his type of comedy does not fit with Bond, but luckily he was only in the film for a minute and the send off for Desmond Llewelyn was worthy to his years of service. A worthy Bond film to watch and as long as you don't watch Die Another Day, Pierce Bronson would be join best Bond with Sean Connery.
