The World Is Not Enough

Summary: Another Bosnan Bomb
Review: Even allowing for the fact that Sean Connery is the only one who could ever play James Bond (and still could!), this movie was a real sleeper. The usual Russian bomb threats yada yada yada. Character development is non-existent, the plot is twisted and confused, and the movie depends entirely too much on special effects. The original 007 movies did not need as many special effects because the characters were well-defined and interesting and Sean Connery was fun and amusing to watch. His Bond had just enough evil in him to make him a believable character with a license to kill. Brosnan, a fine actor otherwise, seems more angry than anything else and by this time is just going through the motions and making sure that Rolex and BMW get plenty of exposure. The film contains quite a number of fine actors from the BBC, but they are not utilized fully. And one hopes the writing for future films will be better, otherwise they're simply not fit to be called Bond films--James Bond films!

Summary: A DVD feature review.
Review: First let me state I'm a huge James Bond fan, I've seen them all. I could go on for pages why I didn't like this film much, and the rating reflects that, but I'll just give a few comments on the DVD extras. First the introduction is too obnoxious and there is no way to skip past it. The very short, 15 minute, 'making of' feature was more like a 'E!' feature from TV with some rather boring interviews with some of the cast and crew. The 'secrets' section was very interesting with storyboards combined with unfinished scenes that showed what the shots looked like before final production. The video by Garbage is very good too. It's a great song although short. The music video isn't just cut scenes from the movie, although it has them, but a whole little story in itself. Finally a big oversight in my book is a lack of English subtitles, although French and Spanish is included. Overall a good DVD production too bad the movie wasn't as good.

Summary: James Bond -The World is Not Enough- (Seafire12)
Review: This DVD has it all. Not only was it a great BOND movie but the DVD takes the Dolby Digital 5.1 and shows you what it is made of. You can hear the choppers in the movie fly in from behind you and pass over head. AWESOME! Brosnan is at his best he still has his wit but portrays a more down to earth and serious BOND. It has to be the best BOND movie in some years. A mixture of Romance, Action and true Espionage makes this movie work! Although Sean Connery is my favorite BOND Brosnan is a close second. I look forward to more movies done by this great actor! Buy it!

Summary: Terrible Nonsense 007 Movie and Brosnan too!
Review: I remember when we had the luxury of having Sean Connery in first few good 007 Movies. Nowadays we are lured to new James Bond movies just to see a horrible mess assembled by some no talent movie makers who take us audience for morons. I watched this 007 movie despite the fact that I can not tolerate Brosnan as James Bond. I was hoping to have some good fun watching a James Bond Movie. However This movie was so bad, awkward and predictable that I found myslef watching it using the fast forward mode of my vcr. Therefore my only thanks go to the makers of the remote control that saved me from wasting probably an hour and half of my precious time. Oh, by the way how do u give a movie a less than zero rating, this one should get a -5 rating.

Review: I bought this movie. You should rent this and you won't feel as ripped off as I do. Close to the worst Bond yet.

Summary: Sad
Review: If id known this Bond would be so mediocre, I would have ordered Goldeneye, even though i saw that Bond installment already. The DVD has some nice features, and the audio was more than I expected, but the movie, as one reviwer put it, does put you to sleep. I hope they continue this movie series, and with PB at that, but i hope they are are able to get back the ambiance that Goldeneye and TND had.

Summary: this film is not enough...
Review: bond, james bond...those words used to mean something when sean connery said them. then came george lazenby, followed by connery again. THEN, the awful roger moore stepped in it, leaving a huge gap till timothy dalton saved our hero. of course, he came in on the heels of pierce brosnan's unavailability, so everyone simply waited for remington steele's dissaperance and mr.brosnan's appearance in one of literature's most enduring characters. "goldeneye" was simply a test-run. "tommorrow never dies" was (arguably) the best of the series (sorry "goldfinger" fans). now this..."the world is not enough" has so many failures to it's credit, it's hard to imagine where to begin. the two star rating is simply one for pierce, and one for john cleese, who now fills in for our beloved "Q". but that's where it ends. robert carlyle plays a very-lightweight heavy who's as unforgetable as this film. sophie marceau is almost as unforgetable, but what is not unforgetable or unforgivable is the casting of denise richards. this is no bond girl...she looks more like bond's daughter. and following off the heels of the terrific michelle yeoh from "tomorrow never dies", you would think that the casting agent would put away his "buffy/dawson/party of five" casting book and get a real woman. those "child-like" demographics don't fly in the world of bond, and neither does this flick. but, as the previous film atests...there's always tomorrow...

Summary: The weakest entry in a new generation of Bond
Review: Coming on the heels of 'Tomorrow Never Dies', this tepid entry in a new generation of Bond adventures can be viewed as a tremendous dissapointment. On it's own, 'The World Is Not Enough' is just that -- not enough. It's story is convoluted, lacking 'Tomorrow's' taut, suspenseful narrative,and showing the evidence of it's multiple screenwriters. Sophie Marceau's seductive performance as the ice queen Electra ends up being a drop in this bucket of sloppy storytelling, contrived (and un-exciting) action sequences. Denise Richards' atroscious performance as a 'nuclear physicist' is so laughable it barely warrants a mention. A huge let down for those of us who savored 'Tomorrow Never Dies', with its colorful villians, exotic locales and inspired action sequences.
