One of the worst James Bond intros ever (I think those psychedelic colors should symbolize the colors of the oil but it looks just crappy)! The story isn't great either although the idea behind it ("Oil is the elixir of life for the West") isn't that bad... All in all a mediocre Bond movie and Brosnan's / Bond's invincibility is so annoying, again!

There’s not a lot to say about this one. They played it really safe and relied on a lot of elements that worked in the past. You can clearly see the continuing evolution of the Brosnan era towards cheesier territory, which once again leads to diminishing returns here. The plot and filmmaking are uninteresting, there’s not a lot to chew on because the new characters don’t leave a mark, nor is the story all that compelling. It’s a very by the numbers Bond flick where its main appeal comes down to the references to the classics. It does lead to some inventive action (boat chase; the ski chase which ups the ante from _On Her Majesty’s Secret Service_), but so much of the exposition and character moments feel way too ordinary. The reliable elements are still entertaining as usual (Brosnan, Dench, Llewyn), however the new supporting cast they recruited kinda sucks (in particular Denise Richards, terrible performance). Overall, while it is forgettable and too devoid of risk, I’d still take this bland film over _Die Another Day_ any day of the week.

4/10

It's a Bond movie with all its pros and cons. Brosnan is still fantastic. They little nuances he brings (like adjusting his tie underwater during the boat chase) are great.

Yes, there are parts that are repetitive that we've seen in one form or the other in other Bond films. Does that mean they're less exciting ? No ! I still enjoy those pre-green screen, pre-CGI in camera stunts. They are simply amazing.
The story ? Yes, been there, done that. Is the movie less entertaining ? Again, no ! I enjoyed this one, too.
Sophie Marceau and Denise Richards have to be one of the best one-two punches in Bond history. Top 3 easily. That counts for something as well, or not ?

> I thought Christmas only comes once a year.

The worst line from Bond to end a very average movie.

The opening scene with the Boat Chase was incredible! Overall nice Bond movie but not the best of the Brosnan films.

The World Is Not Enough continues the high energy and explosive action of the Brosnan era. In this adventure Bond is sent to protect oil heiress Elektra King after her father is assassinated by a terrorist. The casting of Robert Carlyle as the villain is inspired, as he has tremendous screen presence. However, Denise Richards comes up wanting as the Bond girl. Though most of the action sequences are well done, a few of them go on too long and feel a bit forced. Still, the storytelling is pretty good, and has a fair amount of twists and turns. Despite a few rough edges, The World Is Not Enough is a thrilling Bond adventure.

There are so many problems with this film. The Bond girl is terrible, some of the action makes no sense, and Renard does not get any interesting screen time. However, it isn't too terrible either. We get more M, which is great. The boat chase is fun, and I love the return of Valentin Zukovsky. Overall I'd probably come in a bit lower in my rating, but to be honest I remember this one so well from my childhood that I enjoy it more than I probably should.

Despite a decent attempt at a plot twist involving this movie's Bond girl, the overall story of this 007 film falls flat. Not bad, just super forgettable.


...what? This movie has practically nothing in it! Stop reading!
