Summary: Not Good Enough
Review: There's a line in the theme song by Garbage that goes "There's no point living if you can't feel alive" Well alive is the last thing you'll feel after watching this boring movie.

Yep. I can certainly understand the low ratings for this film. It was absolutely a tremendous let down. Especially after the mind bender that Tommorow Never Dies was.

First the biggest problem is the plot. The story just drags on and on without any climaxes. It is boring. Very boring. I kept waiting for it to pick up but it never did.

The second problem was the supporting cast. Whoever made the descision to cast Sophie Marceaux as femme fatale. Made a fatale mistake. She's a joke. Issabelle Adjani would have been a much better choice. The same goes for the villain Robert Carlisle--I really did not find him that scary or effective as a villain.
Denise Richards was nothing but eye candy and does nothing to enhance the movie. If she had not been in the film I would not have missed her at all.

The only pluses in this film are Pierce Brosnan who did a great job again. As well as the witty double entendres "I was wrong Christmas does come twice a year!" Which I found quite amusing.

Frankly the film feels as if it had been slapped together so that they could meet the quota of 2 years between Bond films. After this travesty no wonder the creators wanted to take 3 years instead of two for putting out the next film (Die Another Day). Just so to make sure that they do not make the same mistake.

This is one of the worst James Bond movies ever made. Avoid it at all cost.

Summary: Great Bond Flick, but why discontinue DVD version
Review: Pierce Bronsan is my favorite version of Bond. Connery is very very good, but I fave Bronsan a bit more. This outing has all the components that made the early films so appealing. Although Golden Eye is my favorite edition, this one's no slouch.

BTW, does anyone know why the DVD version has been discontinued? Would appreciate a response at (...)

Summary: the world is not enough, but it is a perfect place to start
Review: This is a great Bond outing. It has it all: action, suspense, betrayel, and did I mention great stunts. The plot is hard to follow and the women aren't rememberable. The villian Renard is great. ... can't feel pain. There are great scenes in the film. The awesome boat chase in the begining. The ski chase on the mountain with the parahawks. Also has a great video game. If you want a great Bond adventure with more action than you can shot a Walther at. You need The World Is Not Enough.

Summary: A Kick ... Film
Review: This is the first 007 film I've ever seen so it will always seem cool to me. I am now a major Bond fan because of this movie. From its explosive (no pun intended) beginning the film ockets ou into an awsome combination of action, suspense, and a lt of death and destruction along the way. TWINE is awsome!!!

Summary: Not bad, Pierce, old boy!!
Review: Who'd-a thunk it?? TV's "Remington Steele" making a truly noteworthy addition to the Bond ouvre besides the surprisingly good "Goldeneye"!

The tape of "World" opens up with one of the better music videos I've seen in the last ten years.The lead singer of the rock group "Garbage" stars in a video of the movie's theme song, involving a robot version of herself KILLING herself! The theme song is the first hint that this is not your ordinary Bond film! It's the best theme since "If There Was a Man"!!

"M" actually gets captured and held hostage in this one, making it a first for any 007 adventure. And it is, sadly, Desmond Llewellyn's last appearance in the series before his untimely death in an auto accident.

Now...the one thing about this better-than-average Bond you need to know, is that NOTHING is as it seems throughout the film!! If O. Henry had ever written a 007 novel or script, it would have been this one! All I can tell you is that it involves oil, Russians, a French psycopath and kidnapping.

The rest is on a "need to know" basis....I'm sure you understand! (g)

Summary: Very Good 007, But You Failed in a Few Key Areas
Review: "The World is Not Enough," is a very good Bond film, and is great entertainment. Sadly, the film suffers from the following:

1. The action scenes seemed very tired. The boat chase, ski chase, and the submarine battle had no real spice to them at all. It's as if Michael Apted focused on the drama, and put the action in as an afterthought.

2. Denise Richards is awful as Christmas Jones. She might be pretty but she sure can't act. The line where she says, "Or are you just hoping for a glimmer?" makes me wince each time.

3. The villains are boring. When this film was being hyped, they made such a big deal about Renard (Robert Carlyle) being impervious to pain. Well they did absolutely nothing special with this facet of the character.

4. The film drags. You start to feel tired about halfway through, and by the time you get to the final submarine battle, you are looking at your watch. This film is about the same length as "Tomorrow Never Dies," but it feels 3 hours long. "Tomorrow Never Dies," is so exciting it only feels like 90 minutes!

The film is redeemed by great acting by both Brosnan and Sophie Marceau. The sets are lavish, and the Bond style and experience are both there. It just isn't the cream of the crop.

Summary: "There's no point in living, if you can't feel alive."
Review: The World is not Enough is one of the best films in the James Bond series. On a more personal mission, Pierce Brosnan in his 3rd mission battles a angry rebellious oil sultress by the name of Electra King. Also a another villian is the man who feels no pain-Renard. These two are planning to explode a nuclear subamrine in order to make Electra the Queen of the oil in the Middle East. The new Bond girl is Dr. Christmas Jones (AND DON'T YOU MAKE ANY JOKES ABOUT HER NAME, SHE'S HEARD EM ALL.) M actually plays a pivatol role in this film, by having the death of one of her friends and her security breached by a person she once called a friend- Electra. The music by David Arnoold is absolutely sensational!!! The theme song by Garbage is no less than outstanding! This movie is the 19th in the best series in the world and on November 22, 2002 the next 007 film Die Another Day will premire bringing the Bond films up to #20 and celebrating their 40th anniversary!!! I can't wait.
