Summary: For 007 this movie is not enough
Review: It wasn't charming as the first ones and, considering how "special effects" have improved in the past years, the new movie isn't trilling as it ancestors. If it wasn't for "good old times", I wouldn't even care to buy such a movie.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The World is not enough
Review: Absolutley Bondtastic - Bond at it's finest, I think that Pearce Brosnan captures the very essence of Bond in this film - simply marvelous - Certainly comfirms my believe that Pearce is the best Bond to date! The World is not enough shows great direction and is a crowd pleaser from the opening sequences to the closing credits - Something for everyone, clever creativity and wonderful graphics! Can't wait to own it on DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bond Rocks!
Review: Non-stop action. Great story with a few twists. Brosnan is suave as ever, a great Bond. The bad guy was not quite as bad as prior Bond baddies, but more human. Seen it twice already. Will definitely be buying the video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Only Bond Film Worth Watching
Review: I have not liked any other Bond film. They did a real good job on this one. I loved the boat chase. This one had a plot that made sence and wasn't boring. Very well done, if I do say so myself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We've been expecting...
Review: Probably the most densely-plotted of all the Bonds to date, and certainly the best of the series so far; almost certainly the first time that a Bond film successfully employs the art of the double-bluff, in some areas very nearly plausible, and especially enjoyable for this.

Pierce Brosnan is on fine form as ever as Bond, Robert Carlyle is excellently cast as the archetypal bad guy (this movie further underlines his acting credentials; he plays the dying psychopath to a chilling tee) and Sophie Marceau is almost jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Judi Dench adds welcome depth to the previously two-dimensional "M", and John Cleese makes a wonderful "Q's apprentice". If you haven't seen it yet, do so.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The World Is Not Enough
Review: Pierce Brosnan returns as James Bond 007 in an action-packed adventure taking place all over the world! From a fantastic boat-chase, to an explosive nuclear silo, and even a dangerously cool battle aboard a nuclear submarine! Hot babes and deathtraps lead Bond to his newest arch-enemy: Renard, who cannot physicly feel pain! I've seen this movie four times and I have to suggest buying! You won't be disappointed at all!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bond is the best of this time......Dry,humorous,and elegant,
Review: Mr.Bond is ranking itself as the highest of his quality,and is back once more,but this time dry as a glass of martini,and elegant as far as he could ever get,making his job as right as Beethoven while composing his 9th.
James bond,her majesty's loyal star,is back in a very different style and story;He is involved in a complex of a villian trying to take over the world with his lover's own oil pipe line. The thing is,you see,he feels no pain.Nothing.Amazing,as it is surprising for the first time to hear it. Elektra,the new bond girl,is to my own taste one of the best bond girls ever in the series,simply because she has many sides to be related with,and sophie marseau,the actress,bringing an excellent performance in the role of Elektea.The other bond girl,christmas,portrayed by denise richards,has a small relation to a bond girl,but still interesting,though.
As well as the deep and dark plot which develops suprisingly,we also discover a more darker side inside the familiar characters,like M,for example,Which makes this movie special and wonderful.
Also,We are introduced to the the next Q(The great,humorous,and giant John Cleese,from the mighty "Fawlty towers" and "Monty Python's flying circus"),Which is,and believe in my own words,the best there is to portray the charcacter of Q.He is doing it very,very well.
You are going to see a different bond,a new bond,a complex and dark story,the best british humor ever brought to a bond film, and,of course,James Bond himself,Pierce Brosnan,is worth all of the bond touches and twists.
You think you can give me the whole world?
Well,the world is not enough,maybe,but the movie,believe me,does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "I never miss"
Review: This is the best film to date in the series, hands-down. It may not have the classic charm of Goldfinger, but a couple of viewings (something most people aren't willing to credit a Bond film with) reveal a film which is incredibly substantial, in an unprecedented - and unnecesary - way. It could get by on the charm of the locations, one-liners etc., but it still tries to put together a credible and interesting plot, and it succeeds.

The most obvious credit to the writers is Carlyle's brooding, existentialist villain, which reminded me of The Misfit in O'Connor's 'A Good Man is Hard to Find.' Carlyle, in surprising contrast to his turn as the psychotic Begbie in Trainspotting, plays the role with just enough subtley and understatement, making the character's evil much more believable than the cackling megalomania of earlier specimens. What I also like about the screenplay, though, and what isn't immediatley apparent, is that it casts some doubt on the role of Bond in the world. In other movies, he seems to have an absolute moral imperative, able to gun down scores of people without any consequence, simply because his enemies are abosolutley evil. In this film, though, among the ruins of the USSR (a theme already explored in Goldeneye), there's more gray than black and white, and the circumstances don't allow him to get off so blamelessly; ultimately he has to do something which he might might regret. It's far from making him human - if that were to happen, it would undermine the whole promise of the series - but it's an interesting take. Then there's the way the plot works in minor characters, like Judi Dench's M and the Russian gangster Zukovsky, both of whom provide a usually self-reliant Bond with indispensable help, while Zukovsky experiences the closest thing to character _development_ which anyone has probably ever experienced in a Bond film. As for Richards, I don't know what she's doing there, either, and probably it would have been a stronger movie without her, but at least she's hot.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Middle ground Bond
Review: Pierce Brosnan's third 007 outing, "The World Is Not Enough" has all the ingrediants die hard fans of the series love, explosions, cool action, gorgeous women and of course Bond himself played by Brosnan, but somehow the film skips a beat. First off, this 19th Bond epic begins with a bang. Before the title sequence even starts, Bond has escaped capture from crooked bankers, survived a massive explosion which guts out MI6 headquarters and pursues a really attractive female assasin in what must be the most suped up jet boat in cinema history. It's just a shame that the rest of the film can't top the exciting first ten or twelve minutes.

The plot is Bond appropriate, Agent 007 is sent to protect a heiress to an oil industry who has been targeted by a super terrorist who is impervious to pain, he has a bullet lodged in his brain. Before long, Bond embroiled in a complicated (and hard to follow) plot to rule the oil industry and then the world. What is disappointing about this installment is the films sometimes slow pace and final battle scene.

The climax of the film takes place on a submarine and is too reminiscent of the end of "Tomorrow Never Dies". However, the strengths of the film are in the suprisingly strong performances (excluding Denise Richards). M has a more prominant role in this round which makes sense because she's played again by Oscar winner Judi Dench. Her M character is for more empathetic this time and you can tell that she is concerned about Bond's safety. This is a welcome plot development and I hope that Brosnan and Dench have more dramatic scenes with each other in future Bond films.

While just a tad disappointing, "The World Is Not Enough" is entertaining enough.
