The World Is Not Enough

Summary: Overly complicated.
Review: I don't know about you, but I found this movie hard to follow. The plot is confusing and, as I previously stated, overly complicated. The action was fast, furious and well staged, but gee whiz... what the hell was it all about? Something about altering the route of a new European pipeline to another country so this lady can get rich but before that, her father dies because of some guy who can't feel pain and blah, blah, blah...! What is this? Although it was good to see Judi Dench get more screen time because she's actually a part of the plot, matters were made worse with an anti-climactic ending. In action films, pay-off is everything. This movie had no pay-off. I wasn't expecting the movie to end when it did. Well enough of the criticism. I didn't hate "The World is Not Enough" but next time I'd prefer more well-defined villians with more straightforward goals for world domination. This MOVIE was "not enough".

Summary: The World Is Enough......To Put Me To Sleep
Review: This movie was so ridiculously lame. You will actually be dumber after watching it. Granted, Pierce Brosnan is a fine actor who is probably the best choice to play 007, but the script was sub-par and plotline was an insult to any human's intelligence.

The action sequences were predictable, albeit intense, but very contrived and hokey. The sinister villain was a goof on a weekend pass who wasn't scary at all.

And what's up with one of his his love interest's name? Christmas Jones? Give me a break! To hear that was just a capper on an overall turkey of a film. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Summary: More True to Form
Review: (...) TWINE brings back the key elements of a "Bond Film" that have been absent since The Living Daylights. First of all, women are supposed to be "inept" and "incapable" or "unbelievable" in a Bond flick. There's a reason why Denise Richards is unbelievable, she's a Bond Girl. Like Louis Chiles in Moonraker. Most of the time we are not looking at their brains. Overall, I think the movie is great and the interlinking elements make it a bond movie more ture to form. All Bond loyalists will agree.

Summary: Is it Really Bond?
Review: James Bond is back again in yet another action packed film, but does it really live up to the previous movies? In my opinion it does not, but dont get me wrong its still a great movie. If you liked goldeneye and tmnd don't expect twine to be as good and thrilling.

Review: I saw this movie and theaters and wasn't to impressed. There needed to be more gadgets and stuff. However it was ok. I liked Q in the movie. Also, there needed to be more car scens.

Summary: The best Bond I've seen in a long time.....
Review: The World is Not Enough is definitely the best Bond movie I have seen in a long time...Pierce Brosnan is the perfect Bond....sexy, gritty, with just the right amound of charm.

The traditional sexual inuendo associated with early Sean Connery Bond films is alive and well..and the plot is fantastic!

Summary: TWINE is Enough For Any Bond Fan
Review: I was hooked on this movie from the beginning; the opening sequence is one of the most thrilling and amazing ever done in a Bond movie and instantly sold me on the entire thing. I'll first describe the things they did wrong for this one: Denise Richards and underexploitation of the villain. I'm sorry, but Denise Richards is no nuclear physicist, and shame on the casting directors for trying to pawn her off on us. She's hot, I'll give her that. But her lines were delivered atrociously and from the minute she walks up in her short shorts and tight shirt, you can't take the character seriously. Of course, this is a Bond film, so you can ignore seriousness when it comes to Bond girls if you want without it spoiling the movie. My second problem with TWINE was how they implemented the main villain, Renard. Now this was a villain I was interested in; he was ruthless, unfeeling, and yet had a strange pathos about him. And the movie makers did not use him to his full extent. I don't want to spoil too much of the movie, but they could have done a lot more with a man who feels no pain. Those two quibbles aside, TWINE is easily Pierce Brosnan's best effort so far, especially after the dismal Tomorrow Never Dies. He combined his effortless grace and charm with a certain ruthlessness that I loved about Timothy Dalton's Bond (yes, I am a Timothy Dalton fan, don't crucify me), and which was one of the most defining features of Connery's Bond in Goldfinger, widely regarded as the best Bond film. There was an actual story this time around, unlike TND. And Sophie Marceau sizzles...she's amazing as Elektra King. I highly recommend this film to any Bond fan.

Summary: For all the, ahem, 'Bond fans' who liked TND...
Review: ...I think TND was a waste of MGM's money, as well as Brosnan's time; it had no *PLOT*, and it was all action, shooting, guns, explosions, I could go on and on. Now, TWINE has a *PLOT* (come on everyone, say it with me: PLOT!), and there is actually *DIALOUGE* (say this one with me too: DIALOUGE!) between the actors, and Brosnan really shines in this one; he really doesn't TRY to be cool, he just IS: I remember reading something in the LA Times that quoted Brosnan saying "In this next movie, bring me in to DO something, don't just have people shooting guns at me for 3/4 of the entire movie!". So, all the little 'Bond fans' who just saw TND and liked it, have a lot to learn from the REAL Bond fans who have been around a little in the Bond world, read the novels, seen the movies, gone to the locations, etc... All in all, TWINE is by far one of THE best Bond films of all time, and I hope mister Brosnan can keep this pace going.

Review: The movie is good. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there are some scenes that were to fake-looking. But it has a good plot line. Buy this movie.

Summary: A darker bond that grows on you
Review: The World Is not Enough is unlike any other of the 90's Bondfilms. It has a more mystery and a more complex plot. Also, thescenery is much gloomier and Bond appears more ruthless (that's a bad thing in my opinion). Bond chases a strange villian across the world, hoping to avenge a friend of M's whom the villian had killed. The plot becomes more interesting and confusing as a conspiracy unfolds. However, this is one Bond movie that grows on you. END
