I like Tomorrow Never Dies, but fuck it for making the Bond car a BMW 7 Series. James Bond does not drive sedans.

Call me a gushing fanboy with no objectivity whatsoever (which I pretty much am, to be honest), but my list of truly bad Bond films is pretty short. Die Another Day, A View to a Kill… yeah, that's pretty much it.

She's not an Evil Bond Girl. She is the villain, and Robert Carlisle was just the henchman.

Quantum of Solace was what everyone wanted Diamonds are Forever to be (i.e. the movie after Bond saw the love of his life killed, and goes on a bloody rampage of revenge). I don't know why nobody liked it.

Tomorrow Never Dies would've been sooooo much better if they'd casted an actual ex-Bond girl instead of Hatcher. Jane Seymour and Maryam D'Abo were available, and still hot.
