Summary: Bond......James Bond
Review: Pierce Brosnan's third outing as James Bond and a slew of controversy if it will be his last.

Feeling responsible for the death of a British oil tycoon and a friend, who died in an explosion in MI6 headquarters, James Bond takes position as bodyguard to the tycoon's daughter, Elektra (Sophie Marceau), who has a mysterious past and hidden agenda.

In recent weeks, Brosnan has gone on record saying he wants more revealing and sexier love scenes in Bond and he would love to see Bond killed off. He has also said he wouldn't mind leaving Bond behind. Are these the greatest things to be saying upon the opening of the film?

It would be such a shame when he seems to be playing Bond right and having a script that wants us to see more Bond.

I guess the next question to ask is who or what is Bond? And why that element makes a good Bond film. A superior Bond film is always in the script and the intrigue associated with a spy. In the latest film the script always has two levels going on coupled with a pain within Bond himself. These play off each other as the perpetual hero shows the signs of being human. In the past 5 Bond films they have been trying to make him more human and it really isn't till this one that they seem to have located the angle they sought. Betrayed, injured, and scorned are just some of the emotions I haven't seen in Bond in years. And that's exactly why this one works and why it's the best Bond in ten years.

With this revelation, director Michael Apted's action sequences and locales seem to be fleshed out and in the highest of Bond form. Apted pushes the envelope with a great Bond finale which pivots Bond and the villain dueling in a submarine spiraling towards the bottom of the ocean. This sequence is true Bond and reminds me a lot of the great climaxes of the 80's pictures.

Within the cast is the always brilliant Sophie Marceau who's innocent but brutal Elektra is going to be a fondly remembered Bond girl. Wasted is 2nd Bond girl Denise Richards who seems to be quite out of her element and made me thinking that these two could be father and daughter instead of lovers. Richards looks like a teen and is supposed to be a "Lara Croft type nuclear expert"? Rounding out the rest of the cast is "the man who can feel no pain" Renard played deviously by Robert Carlyle. Carlyle reminded me a lot of Sean Bean's 006 in "Goldeneye".

With this entry into the Bond vault I hope Brosnan comes back for at least two or three more. Connery and Moore did over six each why can't Brosnan. So here is to the continuation of the franchise. I hope the DVD release is every bit as good as the film and the previous Bond DVD releases.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I thought Christmas only came once a year!
Review: I am a Bond fan, and fan of Bronson as Bond(maybe he's even the best Bond). This Bond does offer a few more twists than the previous helpings but still keeping to the old Bond formula which as been of great success. The Bond girls sexy as ever, but I did have a problem with Denise Richards(Dr Christmas) as a Doctor(she just doesn't look the part), but who cares its Bond. The action is quick, lines funny(the ones about Dr. Christmas are the best yet) and the best open scene of all the Bonds. One of my favourite Bonds, but maybe not as good as Goldeneye. This will be a great DVD to have. If you don't like Bond, you won't like it, if you do you'll love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The World is not Enough
Review: Bond is back for the 90's and moving very fast into the 21st century, Pierce has brought more to Bond than anyone else since Sean Connery, lets hope he keeps up the British end for a few more years. In the latest Bond film Pierce fight's bad guy's and make's love to some of the most beautiful girl's around what more could you ask from a Bond film stunning locations great fight's and chases and Woman to make your eyes pop out 10 out of 10.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: an OK bond
Review: Bond returns in a complicated & confusing story, although the special effects are as good as always. A little too serious, maybe, but bond is still bond.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JAMES BOND 007 IS OUT OF HIS USUAL LEAGUE
Review: WOW! I think that any 007 fan would be abosolutly CRAZY if they didn't buy this movie. Even if you are not a 007 fan but you like action then this is the movie for you! full of suspence , action ,thrills , and a twist in the story!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: we want more...........
Review: the movie is one of the complete bond movies ever produced. one superhero, 2 beautiful and classy dames and 1 very very impressive villian. what else can we ask for in a bond movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the best Bond but worth a look
Review: This wasn't up there with the best Bond films but is worth a look. Brosnan puts in another solid performance and Denise Richards looks as stunning as ever. A well directed film and some fantastic action sequences including a brilliant opening scene with a chase through the streets of London and staggering stunts at the Millenium Dome in Greenwich.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: He¿s back!
Review: Brilliant locations, beautiful babes, silly gadgets, best opening sequence ever! James is back bigger than ever with a cool villain, sophisticated love interest and disappointing co-star: Denise Richards although gorgeous looks more like a porno star than an atomic scientist. Pierce (sorry Mr. Bronson to me) is a fine Bond; he really does make him a believable character, handsome and tough with just the touch of humor. It was very poignant to watch as 007 said farewell to "Q" as we now know for the last time. You know the plot mad person intent to wreak havoc, good guy saves the world, but has an interesting twist that I didn't see coming. I don't think that it is the best but certainly in the top three. I wonder if in the next movie (cant wait already) if "R" can teach him to leave a building via the door? Great entertainment!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: definately sould have stopped with the first one!
Review: Alright,this movie is a good cheap action flick and thats where it good qualities stop, if you dont care about anything such as a movie who spits on the past, (past=any original bond movie)or a word alien to people who bought this film called QUALITY, then buy this movie otherwise just shield your eyes from watching the title as you hit the back button on your internet because this movie is too much, Enough! I dont care if the intro cost millions of dollars,you still need something in a movie called a STORYLINE or PLOT! let me guess what your saying,"but its a good movie" why dont you take that feeble-minded opinion and see ANY 2 old bond flicks, then youll realize that this idea couldve been invented by a RETARDED MONKEY. and yes im defending the old bond movies why you ask? because the older movies focused more on an IDOL, and his suave abilities to use gadgets to get out of tough situations, true this movie does have a little bit of that, but it focuses on the big explosions that keep numb-minded people happy. James Bond shoudve been left in peace and at the state that it was, greatness.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The movie is not enough!
Review: This was possibly the best OO7 film ever made.My top 11 favorite movies are (in order),The World Is Not Enough,License To Kill,Thunderball,GoldenEye, Live and Let Die,Tomorrow Never Dies,A View To A Kill,The Spy Who Loved Me,For Your Eyes Only,Goldfinger,Diamonds are Forever.The worst is probably The Man with the Golden Gun.TWINE boasts the best ski chase,edging out For Your Eyes Only. Denise Richards was a pretty good Bond girl. The title song was excellent by Garbage.Elektra King was not one of the best villains.Great climax scene on the submarine.
