A few really fun set pieces (car chase, motorbike chase, jumping off a big building etc). Brosnan is pretty good as Bond and it hasn't dated quite as badly as Goldeneye (yet). Michelle Yeoh is also pretty good.
The thing that annoys most is the baddies. Jonathan Pryce is a TERRIBLE super-villain, he just seems like he can't be bothered with the role - you'd think he'd never seen a keyboard in his life from watching the way he pretends to type, he literally just slaps the keyboard like a mong. Every time I see it I find it massively annoying - how much effort would it have taken to actually make it look like he was typing? The guy that plays henchman Stamper is OK, but Stamper himself looks and sounds like a member of a German Take That tribute band.
Still, it's not a bad movie, if you can put up with Pryce.
