Well, I liked GoldenEye a lot, partly because Sean Bean was one hell of a Bond Villain! Very refined and singleminded, good solid motives and hatred to base his choices on. I respected the character. His last line, it was just spot-on.
That grey-haired media magnate and this new Grey, they're just charicatures of villains, sneering and snickering.
Also, Xenia Onatopp was such a superbly vile hench(wo)man that my gf on many occasions exclaimed her hatred for the character. I teasingly remind her about Xenia now and then.
Also, I like rugged battletanks. :-)
And of course, the last Q-scene of all time, with the inflating phonebooth and ejecting office-chair, jolly good old british fun.
About Die Some Other Day, there were three distinctly british car brands in it. Aston Martin, Jaguar and a third one. Which was it? I forget. Lovely specimens, btw.

Land Rover. Ford owns all three of them and had exclusive rights to all the cars in the movie (except the Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Porsches that Moon had).

Well, see, it's really quite simple: -I think Roger Moore plays a good Bond. -I think Timothy Dalton plays a good Bond as well. -I also think Pierce Brosnan plays a decent Bond, just not so much as the above.
There. See, it all makes sense now, doesn't it???

Er, huh? That wasn't the last Q scene with Desmond Llewellyn. He showed in Tomorrow Never Dies, and his actual LAST scene was in The World Is Not Enough.
And since John Cleese's character is the old Q's replacement, and is now called Q, the "last" Q-scene "ever" was in "Die Another Day" ...
