Summary: Do Doo Do Doooo......
Review: Great action flick! Maybe better than TND, but I was expecting more. The action scenes could have been more interesting. And get rid of Denise Richards!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This Movie is not enough....
Review: I have always been a fan of James Bond movies since I was a little boy. However this movie just was not the same caliber as the orginal movies before it. I do admit that the opening sequence is pure delight, but the rest of the movie just drags on till the end. One thing that I watch James Bond movies for is the Gadgets. You know how much they hyped Bond's modified BMW with all its gadgets, but we hardly see it do anything before it is hacked into two pieces! Wow, we saw it launch a missle and destory a helicopter and also saw it start remotely. Big deal! I wanted to see more emphesis on this car. I do admit the X-Ray Vision goggles were cool and that scene was very, very nice. I just was not thrilled by this movie, like I was with the others before it. This is the 19th bond movie and Bronson's 3rd one. I hope the others that follow will be better than this one. To me, it feels like this movie was rushed. They need to take thier time on these movies, we are in no rush.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Connery-esque!
Review: Finally, a Bond movie that brings back the good ol' days!

Unfortunately, Denise Richards is soooo attractive you may have to watch it again to understand what happened!

Brosnan turns in a good performance -- all in all, a good effort.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: His Best Bond Yet!
Review: I am a big fan of all the Bond movies and especially the new ones. I saw this movie the first day it came out and I purchased it the second day it came out one video. Of coarse Brosnan does a terrific job acting as Bond but The World Is Not Enough has a great cast unlike the other 2. The World Is Not Enough also has the coolest little devices. Q just keeps seeming to come up with better and better devices. I would recomend this movie to anyone that like a good action flick with a little romance. THank you for your time!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good, but not great bond.
Review: As a film, this was the weakest of the Brosnan movies, in my view. Denise Richards is so talentless, she detracts from every scene she is in.

The whole movie is worth watching for Desmond Llewelyn's eerily prescient final performance.

For any serious Bond fan, you're going to buy the movie anyway. If you're not a big Bond fan, this movie probably isn't worth owning.

I found the DVD quality to be excellent on the transfer. The contrast was unusually high (I'm often disappointed by the "black" on the screen), and the image was crisp throughout, without some of the color gradients you often see in low contrast environments.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What ever happend to the class!
Review: the latest bond flick is fun and exciting but has lost the class that Sean connery had the suspense is so short lived and always ends with an explosion. It has become action flick not a spy flick, the early bonds took intelligence and cuning, these take C-4 and semi-automatic rifels at every possible opertonity. Good as bond films go latly but at this rate it will never be up to par with connery...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: watch it
Review: I recommend watching this film because the graphic is very good and it is a intersting film to watch. This will help you to solve your nighmare problems. The clothes good. the dirctor way is strange but fair.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't you say hello, like a regular person.
Review: This is one of the best bond films. The acting is good and the choice of actors is interesting. The gadets as is the car are both amazing. I didn't think too much of Christmas Jones, she just never came across as a very believable character. But the action is excellent and bond has a very gritty feel which i think is a welcome change. If you are a bond fan then watch it. The dvd features are very decent.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Brosnan's great but the movie drags
Review: I liked this movie mainly because of Brosnan's performance as Bond. He seems very comfortable as Bond and he brings back the menace and mischievousness of Bond from the Connery days. Pierce Brosnan is the best Bond since Sean Connery. Sophie Marceau also is great as the mysterious Electra King. She plays a woman who has a lot of complicated issues to deal with. I was also happy to see Valentin Kukovsky (played by Robert Coltrane) back. He brings a lot of humor to the movie. It was also good to see Q back for the last time. (We will really miss Desmond Llewelyn).

The movie started with a spectacular pre-title sequence where Bond gets away from a tough situation and chases after a female assassin with a jazzed up speedboat. This beginning sequence was my favorite scene in the movie. However, the movie seemed to drag in the middle. The pacing of the movie was not as good as "Tomorrow Never Dies." It got a bit boring in the middle. I was a bit disappointed with this movie.

I also missed a really good villain. Robert Carlyle plays a complicated henchman, but the movie could have benefited from a great villain such as Goldfinger and Blofeld.

The most laughable character is Denise Richards as Christmas Jones (! ), a Ph.D. nuclear scientist. She is totally unbelievable. I think she's there to attract teenage guys to come see the movie.

I commend director Michael Apted for developing a lot more characterization in this movie, for both Bond, Electra, and the villain. However, Michael Apted doesn't seem to be comfortable directing action-adventure movies. He doesn't know how to pace the action sequences in the movie. Consequently, the movie tends to drag.

In any case, I would give this movie a moderately good review. You may want to purchase the Special Edition DVD because the picture and sound quality is excellent. It also has special features such as an audio commentary from the director Michael Apted and a documentary on the making of the film.

If you like Pierce Brosnan, you will enjoy his performance in this movie. However, I would recommend "Tomorrow Never Dies" as a better Brosnan Bond film. It has much better pacing and action. However, cheers for Brosnan. I hope he stays as Bond forever.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could have been so much better...
Review: Although Pierce Brosnan is by far the best Bond since Connery, he can't save this film from mediocrity. Not even with the aid of eye candy Bond girl Denise Richards.

I can't really pinpoint the exact reason why I don't really like this movie. There are great effects and some good acting, but a number of details spoil the overall experience. First of all, the plot just seems to be bits and pieces from all the other Bond movies mixed quite badly together to form something not entirely uninteresting, but definitely less than exhilarating. And that's a big crime in a Bond movie. Secondly, Bond has gotten far too many one-liners for his own good. Brosnan fights bravely to prevent his character from becoming a walking cliché, but even he can't save this script completely, although he really tries. Although a Bond movie is not a real Bond movie unless good old James gets to say some witty lines now and then, there are limits. This is not a slapstick comedy! Overall, the movie never really catches the real Bond spirit.

Tomorrow Never Dies was a far better movie than this, and I hope the next Bond movie will be that as well.
