Great stunts, but still needs improvement over the original

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2000)

Great stunts galore! And all that fantastic spying techniques and ways to steal secrets and espionage stuff. Certainly one of the better modern spy movies. But what it lacks is still some of the realism that is at least apparent in the original series. Too much stuff here is simply impossible to believe, like that helicopter in the tunnel. It makes for great special effects and stunt work, but instead of becoming a spy movie which is believable, it becomes one in which one has to suspend believe at times so as to follow the story to its conclusion.
