Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Denise Richards ruined it
Review: Denise Richards stood out in this movie because she is way too young and dumb sounding to be a nuclear physisist. Other than that flaw, the movie was only OK. The first action scene is probably the best. The worst action scenes involved those ridiculous helicopters with razor blades hanging off. The theme of the story, with the competition of oil pipelines, was interesting. I would say that among the last three Bond movies, this is #2 (1. Goldeneye 3. Tomorrow Never Dies)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Could have been best ever
Review: For those few soles that understand the history of bond, but have not yet seen this movie, let me say this could have been the best ever. We all know that Bond kills the bad guy in a confrontation at the end of the movie. In my opinion, Renard should not have been the ultimate bad guy. He was a follower of the true evil person in the film and Renard should have been wasted before taking on the true bad guy. Making this change would have been very unique and it would have made for a different kind of showdown.

Marceau and Carlysle are great in their roles. Richards was their for show only. I liked this movie, but still long for ones in the less if your face style of for your eyes only and from russia with love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this movie rocks
Review: I think this is the best Bond movie ever. There are some problems with scenes, such as you can't fight in a nuclear reactor once the plutonium has been bombarded by neutrons, the radiation would cook you. Otherwise spectacular. Stunts are incredible and there is no pixelation, edginess, or compression problems. A great DVD.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bond Blowed 'Em Up Real Good!
Review: "The World Is Not Enough" is NOT Shakesperian drama, folks...it's a James Bond movie, and it works almost as well as some of the better Bond films of the past.

Give the filmmakers credit for trying to delve into the characters in Bond's life (particularly the villanous Elektra, who is the most memorable Bond girl in years), but ultimately a Bond movie is about what you'd expect Bond movies to be about...action. "The World Is Not Enough" delivers on this level, though one wonders how many more ways Bond can Blow Things Up Real Good.

The worst aspect of the movie had to be Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones (yes, you know her name will be made into a pun from the moment you meet her, which it is). While undeniably gorgeous, Richards has a major problem - she can't act, which makes her character the dumbest-sounding nuclear physicist ever.

"The World Is Not Enough" is highly entertaining, and Pierce Brosnan is undeniably a very good Bond. But simply because we learn a bit more about some of Bond's co-workers, don't expect some indie-flick character study; Bond is going to blow things up real good, and look real good doing it.

And THAT is the reason we pay to see him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gretat Bond Flick
Review: This is an excellent entry into the James Bond movie franchise. Pierce Brosnon is great as James Bond and the action sequences are great especially the motorboat chase. The women are sexy but Denise Richards doesn't do a real good acting job in this movie but she sure is nice to look at. The bad guy does a good job too but I wish he was a little more menacing. The plot is pretty good with a few twists and surprises. Highly recommend this movie and Tomorrow Never Dies and Goldeneye.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bond makes a mediocre return to the screen...
Review: Actually, the fact that early in this movie 007 injures his back should be a clue that he's not going to be up to his old standards in this movie. Many people have said that they think that this newest Bond movie, "The World Is Not Enough", is good. It's not particularly bad- it just isn't up to previous standards set.

The plot, while fairly simplistic, was still hard to follow, and at times you couldn't understand who was the bad guy, or why. It would have helped had they developed the characters more- then you might have had more insight into the entire development of the plot. The special effects and stunts were fairly good, as always, but they weren't as memorable as many of the famous scenes from other movies (such as the jump off the dam in Goldeneye). Sadly, the former Q made an exit, which is definitely a disappointment- however, I guess that fans will just have to live with it. I must say, though, that "R" certainly doesn't seem nearly as cool as Q, whom he replaced.

If you are a long time Bond fan that sees all of his movies, you probably won't mind any of these problems very much. However, you should probably think twice about seeing this movie if you aren't really a fan- you could probably find a better way to spend your evening.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: buy only if desperate for complete 007 collection
Review: The tribute to Q in the begining was great. I'll miss him terribly. Brosnan wasn't as charming as he was in "The Thomas Crown Affair", and his performance seems strained, but he did the best he could with supporting actors like Denise Richards. Denise Richards appears to be there only as a pretty face. Her acting was stocky and boring! It ruined the wonderful story that was developing cause I wanted to just wish her silent. Just stand there getting wet in that white t-shirt. That's probably the only reason the director casted her for after her "Wildthings" movie. Sophie Marceau was fantastic! I loved her performance--seductive, wicked and total contrast to Richard's. Perhaps Richards and the first female villian should have changed characters. Atleast the villian died with style.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The World is enough, and in this world we do not need. . .
Review: . . . such a stupid movie. Being a big Bond fan I was hugely dissapointed by 'The World is Not Enough'. Sophie Marceau is good playing the main villian, Electra King. I gave the way the surpise she is a bad guy, oh yeah baby!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The World Is Not Enough - James Bond 007

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Thomas Crown Affair.
Review: This movie was great, except they should of used someone younger to play as Pierce Brosnan's girlfriend. Perhaps someone like?......Me.
