Rating: Summary: This Movie is more than enough for me! Review: This movie has it good with my opinion. Arguably, this is one of, if not the best, bond film ever made. I've been a longtime Bond fan, and this movie is a fine pick-me-up after Tommorrow Never dies and that last Tim Dalton one. The things that caught my eye most were the superb opening scenes, and the non-stop action. The first chase scene is the best of any Bond film (i'm sure others will agree). I went to see it in theatre with some friends and we all loved it. Now i'm looking foreward to buying it as soon as it comes out from Amazon( May 16). So, I give this movie 4 3/4 stars. The reason being, some of the things about the film are unbelievable, such as the likelyhood of James surviving all those fights. But, that is to be expected from a good Bond Movie. So, Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: The best Bond film in recent years! Review: I don't think any actor has portrayed the immortal James Bond so well since Sean Connery was first handed his license to kill. Pierce Brosnan has done an incredible job in the role and "The World Is Not Enough" is probably his best Bond film to date. It has the typical Bond formula of lost of action and beautiful women that has always made the Bond series so exciting to watch. But with the advances in special effects, Bond has never looked better and has never been more exciting to watch. In this film Bond is sent to protect Electra King, the daughter of a wealthy businessman from a probably his most dangerous villian to date. A man who is immune to pain. with all the thrills and excitement in this film, you'll be wondering to yourself "Who cares if James Bond doesn't drive an Aston Martin anymore". If fans remember correctly, he didn't drive an Aston Martin in the first movie. But my advice, buy this movie. It is a must have for all James Bond fans!
Rating: Summary: Well, its no TND Review: Tommorow Never Dies, in my eyes, was one of the top bond movies ever. Especially coming after two horrid bond films like Goldeneye and "that-timothy-balton-one." So I had high hope for The World is Not Enough (TWINE). Well, its not horribly bad. First, it has a decent story for a bond film, but do they really need to get this advanced? The first bond films were, guys gonna blow up the earth, bonds gotta stop him, plot twist, bond gets the woman. Now days, they think we need mission: impossible like stories to enjoy the film. We are gonna see the film for 2 reasons: 1. The shoot-em-up blow-em-up (no pun intended) action 2. And the women We dont care about these deep plots! The other high point is there is a lot of action, nothing memorable, we've seen it before, but still cool. Characters is something rarely developed in bond films and that holds true in this film. The enemy is hardly hateable. We dont care if Bond wins or not. We just want to see Denise Richards, and thats why the films do well. Give us the explosians we want, the ladies men want to see, and you've got a blockbluster. So, all in all, to test out your new DVD, you can't go wrong. But if your looking for some cool shooting scenes, a good story and TOM CRUISE! Stick with M:I 2 and youll be happy...scratch the tom cruise.
Rating: Summary: Lame, predictable and boring... Review: Settling into my seat after the unusually long pre-title sequence, my expectations were raised. To my dismay The World Is Not Enough turned into one of the worst Bond flicks I've ever seen. To begin with the action scenes are plain terrible. Aside from the pre-title boat chase and the snow chase, everything else is done in obvious studio sets and interiors, with a poor sense of timing and choreography. Whatever happened to the outdoors, adventurous Bond? Why is he confined in tiny spaces so much? The plot, as many claim to be better than in most other Bonds, serve only to lead up to each action scene, which are poorly-paced, in addition to what I've already mentioned. Any attempt to flesh out characters are appallingly lame as it is focused only on the villains. And both of them are flaccid sleepwalkers. Come on, we all know a good Bond villain needs to be over the top. And the attempt to be serious and sympathetic is further undermined by puerile slapstick and bad puns. John Cleese isn't a very worthy replacement for Q either, judging from his performance here. Or maybe he's hampered by the horrendous dialogue. All in all, very unsatisfying.
Rating: Summary: Much better than recent Bond movies Review: I had just about given up on the Bond movies, but this one has swung me back. It is much more true to form, and certainly more entertaining, than other recent Bond movies. Brosnan has really settled into the role nicely, and the "Bond Girls" this time around were more believable and fun to either love or hate, depending. Hopefully the people who make these movies will learn what it was they did right this time, and keep it up for future movies.
Rating: Summary: The World Is Not Enough-a review Review: I went to see this film on opening night, because I am a Bond fan, so I had to. And as HUGE Bond fan, I went in there knowing everything about the film, because by that time I had read the novelization, and had read tons of articles about it on the internet and in magazines and newspapers, but still, the film was great, it was like I had no idea what it was about, because the acting, and directiong, and filming was excelent! I recomend this to everyone.
Rating: Summary: Great Bond Movie! Review: This film to me is the best Bond film ever! Pierce Brosnan is excellent playing the role once again! The movie has a great story to it and great villians! I think it beats both "Goldeneye" and "Tomorrow Never Dies," though those were great films too! Here I am at home counting down to May 16th when "The World Is Not Enough" is released so I can own it on Video! I highly recommend seeing this film to anyone, definately for James Bond fans! *****
Rating: Summary: BOND RULES THE WORLD (AND ITS NOT ENOUGH) Review: The third James Bond film to star Pierce Brosnan, The World Is Not Enough surprised me. First of all it now has the claim to the coolest opener of any Bond movie (Better than Octopussy's jet scenes). The action starts and doesn't let up till half way through the movie when the plot unfolds. WHile uneven at first, the plot takes shape, and after a few Mission Impossible-esque twists the story makes sense. Alot of people think Bond is stale/predictable or whatever. In reality Bond is as slick as ever. People may shudder at Denise Richards funny name (Pussy Galore anyone?) or the silly buzz saw scene, but in fact this is the way all Bond films work. This isn't Sundance material here! This is action/adventure, with style. Overall this is my Favorite 007 outing since The Spy Who Loved Me. Lastly, the film contains the final apperance of Q, one of my favorite characters. The scenes between Bond and Q tug at the heart as Q ponders retirement. A few months ago the actor who played Q sadly died in a car accident. The role of R, Q's successor is done, masterfully, by John Cleese. That fact alone makes this a must have for Bond fans.
Rating: Summary: Either change, or retire Bond Review: After about fifty movies featuring James Bond, you would have thought that they would change the formula around at least a little. It's the same old stuff and Pierce Brosan looked as though he was just going through the motions and that only results in a dull movie. I'm not saying that he's bad in his role, in fact, he's the best Bond period! But the plot, action chase scenes, and the girls...it's getting played out. Either change the Bond formula, or end it here. And another thing, pleeeeesssee get a villian that doesn't bore me to tears! Carlyle was promising as the bad guy who could feel no pain, but nothing "cool" was done with him!
Rating: Summary: A Bond movie with Action, Thrills and emotional touch Review: The movie starts with a good action and stunt, but not strong enough enough to nock your socks of. As compared to this bond movies, the previous two bond movies started with a great stunt. The main villian Renard was good. But he dosn't looks strong, rather he looks like some confused thief. The movie has a good story line and a cool suspense theam. But as the story progress, you might feel it like a emotional movie rather than a typical bond one. The reason Bond gets emotional with Elektra King(sopphie Marceau) as he was getting involved with her to save her. The Bond girls are cool. The reason for giving this movie a 4 star is it has some action scences and thrills that adds this one to a good entertaining movie list. If you are a fan of bond movies or a movie collector and wanted to buy this movie on video. Then you must go for a DVD as its contain some great cool extra stuff that you want find in a VHS.
