USA Today
Fans will appreciate not only that the film is predictably solid and surprisingly sharp but that parts of it are just plain bad. - 75
Chicago Tribune
There's the script -- and that's the problem. - 75
Miami Herald
You can't beat a Bond film for adventure on a grand scale. - 70

Isn't quite enough to save the Bond franchise -- but it does prove that 007 is Y2K-compliant. - 67
Portland Oregonian
Apted ("Gorillas in the Mist," "Coal Miner's Daughter") keeps things low-key and low-tech, which makes some of the cliched Bondisms a bit easier to swallow. - 63
Charlotte Observer
Fair, overlong James Bond from the second shelf. - 60
Chicago Reader
This keeps one reasonably amused, titillated, and brain-dead for a little over two hours. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
The hero himself has been denatured for a young, late 1990s audience with little appreciation for real suavity or sex play.
