My other gripe is with Jinx's characterization - she's supposed to be Bond's professional equal, a politically correct feminist-friendly Bond girl of the 21st century, but she finds herself in the damsel in distress category after being captured twice.
I have no complaints about this, Rose. One, Jinx got captured due to Bond roaming about Graves' complex the first time. And she got captured the second time, because Bond told her to trust Miranda.
Also, even while captive under that laser thing, she still managed to save Bond's ass.
And considering that Bond has been captured a good number of times over the years, I have nothing againt someone like Jinx being captured. In fact, Bond has had his ass saved by Vesper - three times - in CASINO ROYALE. Connery's Bond was saved in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER, and THUNDERBALL by the leading ladies. If it's okay for Bond to become captured or endangered, then as far as I'm concerned, it's okay for the same thing to happen to a competent agent like Jinx.
As for dialogue, I think that Brosnan got the worst of it.
