I confess I haven’t seen it since it opened in theaters in ’97 but I have only pleasant memories of it. TND was the second Bond for Pierce Brosnan and Judi Dench. An excellent 10 minute pre-credit action sequence opens the film. This sequence also features a nice cameo with Geoffrey Palmer in the scene with Judi Dench. The two were at the time starring together in the sit-com “As Time Goes By,” which continued to 2005 – nine seasons. Also glimpsed in the pre-credit action (I just rewatched it on YouTube) is one of my favorite people to ever exist, the late illusionist, magician, slight-of-hand artists, and historian of magic, Ricky Jay.
Michele Yeoh is always welcome in my book and never boring. She is great, as always.
Yay!

Meh. Probably Brosnan’s best, but still meh.

And your opinion of Michelle is what is not understandable to me.

This used to be one of my least favourite Bond movies, but it grew on me on repeat viewings. I would still rate it as
Meh
Positive:
The pre-credit action sequence is pretty great
Michelle Yeoh is a great Bond girl
Dr. Kaufman (Vincent Schiavelli) is one of my favourite minor Bond villains, he just kills it in this part, I wish they would’ve brought him back for another movie
On paper the plot doesn’t sound quite as far-fetched as the usual Bond plots
Negative:
Elliot Carver as played by Jonathan Pryce is a pretty generic Bond villain
Brosnan handles himself well, but he still doesn’t quite have what it takes to be a convincing Bond actor
Roger Spottiswoode’s direction is pretty vanilla, the movie looks okay but it lacks personality
There is almost too much action and little of it stands out
Teri Hatcher’s character is entirely forgettable
As mentioned before the plot might’ve had some potential on paper, but in the end this is just your typical Bond movie with a megalomaniac villain
The title song by Sheryl Crow is nothing special

Yay - got better on repeat viewings for me.
It failed to live up to the Bondian standards set by GoldenEye, but it is still a great action movie full of vim and vigour and dotted along the way are some truly great scenes. Bond and Wai Lin on a bike, Bond and remote controlled BMW, Bond and Stamper face off and Bond sitting in chair brooding whilst knocking back neat vodka. These are great Bond moments. It loses its way once 007 gets to Vietnam (Thailand standing in) and the gun toting finale is more akin to a Stallone/Schwarzenegger movie, but there's still plenty here to enjoy and be thankful for. 7/10
