Summary: Not as good as Goldeneye, but much better than Tomorrow...
Review: With a cool overture (the adventure before the title), a well performed song by Garbage, and a great cast of characters, The World is Not Enough is one of the best Bond flicks yet. Brosnan is back with his new P99 pistol and lots of new gadgets and car. He's assigned to protect a billionare's daughter who's targeted for murder. But is she all that she turns out to be? Though the story gets confusing and the bad guy is pretty lame, the action sequences make up for that. It is worth buying if you like Bond. 4 stars.

Summary: What happened to Bond?
Review: I'm a long time fan of all Bond movies but had a hard time staying interested in this one. There was not enough emphasis on the villain's reasons for doing what he did. He wasn't convincing -- just a sad, sad figure. As for Elektra, there was not enough reason to dislike her, either. Brosnan's "love" scenes with the women had no steam whatsoever, and Denise Richards spent each of her scenes wandering around in a daze. Brosnan looked weary the whole time. Made me think he was getting tired of the part. Or maybe he just wasn't clicking with his co-stars? Hope the next one is better!

Summary: World is Not Enough: Special Edition
Review: The 007 films are some of the best made DVDs on the market. From the point wherein I first saw Goldeneye on disc, I was hooked. World is Not Enough follows closely in that vein. Right from the start of the disc, where the female voice asks you to activate your menu, the viewer of the film becomes immersed into the feel and atmosphere of the Bond world. Somewhat lacking in Special Features (Only 1 trailer, 15 minute documentary, 2 audio tracks) The featurette on the stunts is excellent however. The image quality of the film is flawless, as is the sound (Dolby 5.1) which all in all makes this a worthy addition to the 007 Collection.

Summary: An OK Movie With Great Action
Review: This was an OK movie. The plot was OK. The acting was OK. But the action was AWESOME. How did they do that. Seeing Pierce Brosnan shoot, jump, and everything is awesome. Buy this movie for the action, not the movie, the plot, or the acting. THE ACTION, DUKE, the ACTION!

Summary: Couldhave been better.....
Review: Sometimes I wish Amazon had "half-star" ratings as Iwould have prefered to give this movie 3 and half, rather than four.It would be pointless for me to conceal my feeling that Connery was, by far, the best of the Bonds, (Timothy Dalton rates second), but Brosnan is better in the part than Moore. The real problem here is that certain of the characters are simply not believable, notably Sophie Marceau. The reason given for her character, Elektra King, betraying, well, EVERYTHING, just isn't believeable..."Stockholm Syndrome" certainly exists,but to use this as the reason a woman plots a)her father's murder,b)detruction of an entire city, and c)disruption of the free world's oil supply, just doesn't play. The Denise Richards character seems to almost an afterthought....However, the pacing is fast, with the spectacular stunts one expects from the Bond films,(the insurance rates for stuntmen on a Bond film must be the highest in the world)the gadgets are there, certainly the beautiful women are there, and Desmond Llewllyn's last appearance as "Q" should not be missed..(surely they are not going to REALLY use John Cleese as his replacement...)Not a bad movie overall, but with some small adjustments it could have been so much better....

Summary: Same old bond.
Review: If you're the kind of person who likes intense action scenes mixed with spy gadgets and busty women then this is for you. I found it enjoyable, but it's not something I'd like to watch over and over and for this reason I'm not buying this movie.

Summary: Great Bond
Review: This is the best Bond flic with Brosnan to date. He looks more comfortable in the role than he did in GE and TND. It is also one of the first Bond-movies in years to have so many sexual references - I didn't know Christmas came twice a year.

Summary: The Best One So Far!
Review: Of all of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films, The World Is Not Enough has to be the best of his films so far. It meets all of the requirements that a classic Bond film should have. It has vile albeit interesting villains, sexy femme fatales and the everpresent "good" Bond girl, action sequences that move at a breakneck pace (tell me the Q-Boat sequence at the beginning didn't keep you on the edge of your seat), an enthralling and twisting storyline, and one of the best end sequences in any of the Bond films so far. In a way The World Is Not Enough reminds me of the early Sean Connery films like From Russia With Love and Thunderball, Brosnan even appears to have taken some lessons from the Connery era in the way he handled the character this time around. As a huge 007 fan, this movie was like a God send. I hope and I believe that number 20 will be just as good if not better.
