Pierce Brosnan is a serving MI6 agent, blah blah. But then you knew all that already. Are the Bond films now unique in having an agent who does not have to reluctantly come out of retirement to do a job? Probably.
First of the franchise re-boot following the long gap from the Dalton films. It still has the proper Q and not frigging John Cleese or some schoolboy and the new Moneypenny is hot in a classy sort of way but I could never get with Judi Dench playing M.
Personally I don't think they've made a really good Bond film since Moonraker but they're still worth a watch as they are always professionally put together. As with all of the more recent ones snappy dialogue and good characters are lacking and villain Sean Bean makes the mistake of not shooting Bond dead as soon as he captures him not once but twice...Bring back Ernst Stavro Blofeld I say. I know Donald Pleasance is dead but can't they use CGI or something?
And the Brosnan Bonds got worse from here on in too although 'Die Another Day' is passable. Oh well, maybe one day they will sort it out and we can have a proper Bond film again.
