Successful twist on the formula of Bond.......2008-02-14
TWINE is definitely a step up from its predecessor - more plot, more character, more realistic. Scriptwriters Purvis and Wade have brought a much needed dose of fresh thinking to the series, while never taking away from the elements we expect. Indeed, the requisite elements - chases (boat on Thames, on skis, in BMW, etc), Bond girls (two - Denise Richards and Sophie Marceau), Bond music (David Arnold really settling into the position as master of Bond music with a great score) and so on, all are well up to par. Plus a few new notes... Bond is injured for almost the entire movie, and `M' gets out into the field (and proves her mettle) - all great new twists on the formula. Indeed the villain himself comes across less like a two dimensional villain and almost more of a tragic figure in the end.
If there is a minor flaw to this one, it is the direction - workmanlike at best, the director seems to have found himself at the helm of something unstoppable, and hasn't tried to make much in the way of course corrections. Good thing too, as things take a decent route to the end. There are a few wrong turns - Denise Richards is saddled with some of the most exposition heavy dialogue ever, and the finale to what has been a pretty good story is a little bit dud - not least because about ¾ of the dialogue is exposition and not drama. However it's so much fun to be in the company of Brosnan hitting his stride as Bond (- with character touches!) and everyone else clearly enjoying themselves, it's easy to overlook the staginess of a couple of scenes, and forgive the cheesiness of John Cleese's introduction as `Q's successor - made all the more embarrassing by how touching Desmond Llewellyn's departure as `Q' is.
All in all, one of Brosnan's more inventive and enjoyable outings.
The worst Bond movie?.......2008-01-13
Apart from a brilliant pre-credit sequence this must be the worst Bond movie made. The film is utterly tedious and unexciting, something about gas pipelines. There is an awful sense of deja vu too, as old sequences from older and better movies are recycled. How many more snow chases?
The acting is unconvincing, the music forgettable and the whole film is badly directed and paced. The basic problem with a THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH? it is a tedious and overlong film. Casino Royale really showed how weak the Brosnan era films were.
Bond back on good form.......2007-12-09
After the disappointment of Tomorrow Never Days, it perhaps shouldn't have been too surprising that, as per the usual EON pattern of alternating good and bad Bond films, The World is Not Enough turned out rather well. It helps that it has a stronger plot this time round as well as some attempt at an element of mystery - along with For Your Eyes Only this is the only Bond where the identity of the real villain is withheld for the first half of the movie. It's also more character-based than usual, with some interesting dialogue that takes on a different dimension once you know who's on the side of the angels and who isn't. The Maguffin is an oil-based variation on Goldfinger's big scheme, but the execution is very different and rather more grounded. Brosnan has the best character writing of his tenure but isn't always up to it: the moments of ruthlessness convince but he's one of those actors who can't stand still and just be and always has to do something, making him seem somewhat ADDS in some scenes and leads to a couple of strange bits of gurning. Yet it can still lay claim to being his best performance in the role, and the presence of Sophie Marceau and Robert Carlyle helps raise the acting bar enough so that even Denise Richards' hot pant wearing nuclear scientist - in-joke casting at its finest - isn't quite as bad as she's been painted.
There's a slightly schizoid feel to Michael Apted's direction at times seeming a tad uncertain and stylistically very different from Vic Armstrong's action scenes. It's certainly not difficult to tell who shot what, and not just because Armstrong seems better at hiding the significant height difference between Brosnan and Carlyle. While still variable (the opening boat chase has a few too many sight gags and the helicopter/chainsaw sequence doesn't work as well as it should), the action scenes are much better handled this time round and much better integrated into the story. Despite some awful wisecracks, this feels less like an attempt to hang plenty of setpieces on a flimsy plot and more like the action is being dictated by the story. Definitely one of the better modern Bond outings.
There's not much new in the two-disc Ultimate Edition to justify an upgrade though. While the extras from the previous release have been carried over, there's only a Hong Kong press conference and a few deleted and alternate scenes. Of these - including Renard's very unimpressive original entrance, more tomfoolery in Q's lab and a line about madmen in hollowed out volcanoes filled with large breasted women threatening the world with nuclear war ("It only takes one") among them - only a visually striking scene in the abandoned oilfields seems good enough to have kept.
A cut above the regular Bond.......2007-03-19
1999's The World Is Not Enough pitches James Bond 007 (Pierce Brosnan) into an intensely personal mission, and gives the character more depth and dimension than had been seen in years before.
After being unable to prevent the assassination of a British oil tycoon, James Bond is assigned to protect his daughter, the enigmatic and complex Elektra King, and to draw out and take down the assassin, the ever-dangerous Renard.
Complete with a solid and believable plot, with more realistic action and more than one good plot twist, this is an excellent grown-up Bond. The script and dialogue are well-written, with some outstanding moments, including the farewell to Q and Bond's cold-blooded killing of Elektra. This scene shows how far this woman has gotten under Bond's skin, and offers a brief glimpse into what lies beneath his cold, hardened exterior.
With great action sequences and a compelling story, this is for my money one of the best Bonds of the old order, with only 2006's Casino Royale offering more action, emotion and story. At the end of the day, a far better Bond film than many give it credit for.
"There's No Point Living If You Can't Feel Alive!".......2006-08-04
His name is Pierce Brosnan and his number is 007. The James Bond of the 21st Century takes us into the new millennium with plenty of thrills and spills in this 19th entry to the Bond series.
Boasting the most exciting pre-title sequence for decades across the River Thames and the Millennium Dome, 007 is pushed to the limit of his tolerance for the job when protecting a wealthy oil heiress from assassination cause him to re-think his attitude to the mission when the danger hits too close to home.
With sexy and sugary support from the likes of Denise Richards, Sophie Marceau and Robert Caryle, this Bond movie is at times forgettable but always keeps up the pace with the action packed thrills and shocking surprises around every turn.
Amazon.co.uk Review
In his 19th screen outing The World is Not Enough, Ian Fleming's super-spy is once again caught in the crosshairs of a self-created dilemma: as the longest-running feature-film franchise, James Bond is an annuity his producers want to protect, yet the series' consciously formulaic approach frustrates any real element of surprise beyond the rote application of plot twists or jump cuts to shake up the audience. This time out, credit 007's caretakers for making some visible attempts to invest their principal characters with darker motives--and blame them for squandering The World is Not Enough's initial promise by the final reel. By now, Bond pictures are as elegantly formal as a Bach chorale, and this one opens on an unusually powerful note. A stunning pre-title sequence reaches beyond mere pyrotechnics to introduce key plot elements as the action leaps from Bilbao to London. Pierce Brosnan undercuts his usually suave persona with a darker, more brutal edge largely absent since Sean Connery departed. Equally tantalising are our initial glimpses of Bond's nemesis du jour, Renard (Robert Carlyle), and imminent love interest, Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), both atypically complex characters cast with seemingly shrewd choices and directed by the capable Michael Apted. The story's focus on post-Soviet geopolitics likewise starts off on a savvy note, before being overtaken by increasingly Byzantine plot twists, hidden motives and reversals of loyalty superheated by relentless (if intermittently perfunctory) action sequences.
Bond's grimmer demeanour, while preferable to the smirk that eventually swallowed Roger Moore whole, proves wearying, unrelieved by any true wit. The underlying psychoses that propel Renard and Elektra eventually unravel into unconvincing melodrama, while Bond is supplied with a secondary love object, Denise Richards, who is even more improbable as a nuclear physicist. Ultimately, this world is not enough despite its better intentions. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com
On the DVD: There are three different documentaries on this disc, as well as a "Secrets of 007" featurette that cuts between specific stunt sequences, behind-the-scenes footage and storyboards to reveal how it was all done, and a short video tribute to Desmond Llewelyn ("Q"), who died not long after this movie was released. The first "making of" piece is presented by an annoyingly chirpy American woman and is aimed squarely at the MTV market (most fascinating is watching her interview with Denise Richards in which the two orthodontically enhanced ladies attempt to out-smile each other). "Bond Cocktail" gamely distils all the essential ingredients that make up the classic Bond movie formula--gadgets, girls, exotic locations and lots of action. Most interesting of all is "Bond Down River", a lengthy dissection of the opening boat chase sequence. Director Michael Apted provides the first commentary, and talks about the challenges of delivering all the requisite ingredients. The second commentary is less satisfactory, since second unit director Vic Armstrong, production designer Peter Lamont and composer David Arnold have little in common. There's also the Garbage song video, and the booklet has yet more behind-the-scenes info. The anamorphic CinemaScope picture and Dolby digital sound are as spectacular as ever. --Mark Walker

A FINE BOND ADVENTURE.......2007-08-07
After a great start with Goldeneye and the hugely enjoyable Tomorrow Never Dies, Brosnan's run as Bond hits the jackpot with this fantastic action film that is undeniably one of the best James Bond films ever made. It has everything. It has some of the finest action sequences the series has ever thrown up (the pre-credit sequence is to die for), two classic villains in the shape of Reynard and Elektra (they even have Bond baddie names) and what is a surprisingly good little story. Sure it's not Tolstoy or Shakespere, but the plot is very effective and offers up many twists and turns, but as well as that the script is very daring for a 007 movie. First of all the pre-title sequence ends in disaster. The man Bond is trying to save winds up blown to pieces and to further add insult to injury, the usually indestructible secret agent winds up seriously injured ending up with his arm in a cast after the fantastically stylish credit sequence. Even better is that the injury becomes his weakness for the rest of the film and the writers even have him fall in love, a relationship that leads to a denouement more akin to the Dalton era.
That's what I love about Brosnan, though. He brings many of the qualities of the previous Bond's to his own he is virtually perfect, not only giving Connery a run for his money, but at times surpassing him. We have the smoothness of Connory, the humor of Moore and the darkness of Brosnan. There's none of George Lazenby, but we should all be thankful for that. Another plus point is that we have more of an ensemble feel for TWINE, which leads to the villains being more than just the usual "I must destroy the world" stereotypes. Sure Robert Carlyle's Renard may seem like a typical Bond villain (he is unable to register pain due to a bullet in his head), but by playing him as a man in love who welcomes death at the end is a masterstroke and one handled fantastically by director Apted, doing a fine job here. While Denise Richards may not be the best Bond girl acting wise, looks wise she is perfect, with the wet t-shirt moments at the end being a welcome distraction. Kudos too to bringing back Robbie Coltrane. Shame he's killed off as I thought he would make a welcome regular supporting player to the rest of the cast.
To sum up, The World Is Not Enough is classic Bond. The Thames chase at the star will be unbeatable and the script is very strong.
You could say it left me shaken and stirred.
Fantastic film making.......2006-12-10
Like a number of people, I was dissapointed with the outcome of Die Another Day - too many gadgets, a plot to sophisticated, and a general lack of charatcer, as it just seemed like 'another action film'. I think its good though to be able to look back on Brosnans fantastic performances in his previous films, and The World Is Not Enough (aka TWINE) comes top of the pile along with the very original Goldeneye.
I think the reason the film is so enjoyable is because its such a good piece of film-making - a fantastic soundtrack that combines more modern sounds in gun shoot outs, with the classic orchestral Bond theme tunes. Theirs the stunning line up of actors, from Robert Carlyle who was pefectly cast, to the gorgeous Sophie Marceau, who proves that beauty on the outside can be decieving to whats inside..
This was also Q's final film, which was sad in many ways. Firstly, I think the way they took him out of the film was very mellow, as you'll see when he descends on a platform. But the new role of John Cleese was a good choice, as he has a combination of wit and a sense of 'know how' thats needed. Unlike other Bonds too, this film is laiden with gadgets, and actually relies heavily on the shooting of action sequences and the story unfolding. In the cars case, this is just aswell maybe.. A BMW? Again? However, the only scene we see it being driven is down a sandy road for just under 10 seconds, and then later on it gets cut in half. Q wouldnt be impressed!
This is definately Bonds best installment with Brosnan, in terms of directing/the making, as it is very original, and does without alot of techno-babble. Its a great film, and I reccomend it to anyone looking for a film that develops with a great pace, and has plenty of action and 'Bond moments'. 9/10 - the extra star would have come from an English car, and a nicer way to see Q leave.
A very good film.......2005-08-25
Brosnan's third Bond film is another good achievement with an interesting story line and a very good cast. The strongest element to this film is the fact that the main villain turns out to be a woman- Elektra King played by the stunningly beautiful Sophie Marceau. Although some of the action goes to such an extreme that some of it loses all credibility, the wit, some of the music and the acting are of a very good standard making this an enjoyable Bond film. Except I still disapprove of a BMW as a Bond car.
Great characters and casting........2004-09-24
I have always been a fan of this entry into the James Bond canon and I credit this to Michael Apted's effort to make it a character led piece.
The brilliant casting of Sophie Marceau as the wonderfully mixed up Electra King creates one of the best Bond girls/villains of the series and her ultimate relationship with Renard creates a dark and brooding atmosphere for the end of the movie. Robert Carlyle was an interesting find for this Bond villain too as he evokes a sense of naive love behind his driven madman persona. I did enjoy Denise Richards' turn as the 'main' Bond girl, but she is far more generic than Electra and in some ways only offers someone for Bond to cop off with in the closing scenes. The writers did try beef up her character a bit, but her role as nuclear physisist is slightly implausible, although ultimately invaluable to the plot.
I was pleased that this mission was brought to a personal level for M, played brilliantly by Dame Judi Dench, and her extra screen time really adds to the character driven feel.
Another great part is that of Zukovsky. Robbie Coltrane returns to pick up the character where he left off in Goldeneye and this time the relationship with Bond develops through the twisting plotline towards one of the best conclusions to a bond film.
The action is impressive, especially during the pre-title sequence on the Thames, but on occassion does feel somewhat souless and you can tell Apted prefers to direct the charater scenes. I did like the high octane tunnel ride that comes later in the film in which Christmas and Bond try to defuse a nuclear bomb at breakneck speeds. This felt more original and more crucial to the plot than, say, the all round generic skiing scene in the Alps. Its fun, but just feels a tad shoved in because there hadn't been any action for a while.
As I said, this film is one of my favourites, and well worth owning, particularly for Bond fans, to see the direction Apted has taken with the characters. It loses a star because the action scenes sometimes detract from the storyline rather than augment it, but its only a slight quibble, they're fun all the same, although never as colourful as some of the Tomorrow Never Dies action.
Character-wise its on top form, as is Brosnan's Bond (as always), and well worth the money. Buy it.
SHOCKING!.......2004-08-06
STARRING: Pierce Brosnan as 007, Sophie Marceau as BOND GIRL Elektra King, Denise Richards as BOND GIRL Dr. Jones, Robert Carlyle as RENARD, Robbie Coltrane as ZUKOVSKY & John Cleese as 'R'. TITLE SONG BY: Garbage.
"The World is Not Enough", derived from the Bond family motto in OHMSS. Pierce Brosnan makes his penultimate appearance (after announcing he was quitting after 'Die Another Day'). In this film, Bond is pushed to the limits. He beds two glamorous Bond girls, has to rescue his boss, face a bomb at MI6 Headquarters and shoot a girl!! Sir Robert King, a big oil baron is killed by a bomb at MI6 HQ. Being a friend of M's and still having a daughter Elektra, King's death is investigated and the culprits tracked down by MI6's best agent, 007. Bond has to travel the world to find Renard, an almost invincible terrorist. Is Elektra's life in danger or is there something far more sinister? This film has a long beginning before the opening titles appear, with a fight at a Swiss Bank in Spain, an explosion at MI6 HQ, a boat race on the River Thames and balloon explosion above the Millenium Dome. This film from 2000 is again following a newer more farfetched style. With the last appearance of the original 'Q' (Desmond Llewelyn). However it introduces John Cleese as his assistant and succesor 'R'. He adds a synical and comic side to the gadgetry, as poor old Desmond shows his age, a big change since the Q of the 1960s. Nevertheless one of the greatest Bond films, where Bond is forced to KILL a girl he had a relationship with, so unlike the Connery or Moore James Bond. Great gadgets and the average Bond car, definitely not one to be missed!

Brosnan's Darkest Bond.......2007-09-08
After the anti-climatic Tommorrow Never Dies, Brosan's Bond hit back with a bang with Tommorrow Never Dies.
It doesn't matter that the idea of having a bullet lodged in your brain makes you stronger as it slowly kills you is ludicrous, it matters little that the final set piece isn't exactly brilliant and it doesn't even matter that the whole idea of Denise Richards as a Nuclear Scientist is too ludicrous for even a Bond film...
All that matters is that this is one of the most action packed, stunt filled films in the series.
My only real criticism is that the flim never seems to quite know if it's aiming to be a joke-filled romp a la Roger Moore or a serious attempt to uncover Bond's dark edge. If it had truly concentrated on one or the other this could have been very special indeed.

"Bond Cocktail" gamely distils all the essential ingredients that make up the classic Bond movie formula--gadgets, girls, exotic locations and lots of action. Most interesting of all is "Bond Down River", a lengthy dissection of the opening boat chase sequence. Director Michael Apted provides the first commentary, and talks about the challenges of delivering all the requisite ingredients. The second commentary is less satisfactory, since second unit director Vic Armstrong, production designer Peter Lamont and composer David Arnold have little in common. There's also the Garbage song video, and the booklet has yet more behind-the-scenes info. The anamorphic CinemaScope picture and Dolby digital sound are as spectacular as ever. --Mark Walker

A FINE BOND ADVENTURE.......2007-08-07
After a great start with Goldeneye and the hugely enjoyable Tomorrow Never Dies, Brosnan's run as Bond hits the jackpot with this fantastic action film that is undeniably one of the best James Bond films ever made. It has everything. It has some of the finest action sequences the series has ever thrown up (the pre-credit sequence is to die for), two classic villains in the shape of Reynard and Elektra (they even have Bond baddie names) and what is a surprisingly good little story. Sure it's not Tolstoy or Shakespere, but the plot is very effective and offers up many twists and turns, but as well as that the script is very daring for a 007 movie. First of all the pre-title sequence ends in disaster. The man Bond is trying to save winds up blown to pieces and to further add insult to injury, the usually indestructible secret agent winds up seriously injured ending up with his arm in a cast after the fantastically stylish credit sequence. Even better is that the injury becomes his weakness for the rest of the film and the writers even have him fall in love, a relationship that leads to a denouement more akin to the Dalton era.
That's what I love about Brosnan, though. He brings many of the qualities of the previous Bond's to his own he is virtually perfect, not only giving Connery a run for his money, but at times surpassing him. We have the smoothness of Connory, the humor of Moore and the darkness of Brosnan. There's none of George Lazenby, but we should all be thankful for that. Another plus point is that we have more of an ensemble feel for TWINE, which leads to the villains being more than just the usual "I must destroy the world" stereotypes. Sure Robert Carlyle's Renard may seem like a typical Bond villain (he is unable to register pain due to a bullet in his head), but by playing him as a man in love who welcomes death at the end is a masterstroke and one handled fantastically by director Apted, doing a fine job here. While Denise Richards may not be the best Bond girl acting wise, looks wise she is perfect, with the wet t-shirt moments at the end being a welcome distraction. Kudos too to bringing back Robbie Coltrane. Shame he's killed off as I thought he would make a welcome regular supporting player to the rest of the cast.
To sum up, The World Is Not Enough is classic Bond. The Thames chase at the star will be unbeatable and the script is very strong.
You could say it left me shaken and stirred.
Fantastic film making.......2006-12-10
Like a number of people, I was dissapointed with the outcome of Die Another Day - too many gadgets, a plot to sophisticated, and a general lack of charatcer, as it just seemed like 'another action film'. I think its good though to be able to look back on Brosnans fantastic performances in his previous films, and The World Is Not Enough (aka TWINE) comes top of the pile along with the very original Goldeneye.
I think the reason the film is so enjoyable is because its such a good piece of film-making - a fantastic soundtrack that combines more modern sounds in gun shoot outs, with the classic orchestral Bond theme tunes. Theirs the stunning line up of actors, from Robert Carlyle who was pefectly cast, to the gorgeous Sophie Marceau, who proves that beauty on the outside can be decieving to whats inside..
This was also Q's final film, which was sad in many ways. Firstly, I think the way they took him out of the film was very mellow, as you'll see when he descends on a platform. But the new role of John Cleese was a good choice, as he has a combination of wit and a sense of 'know how' thats needed. Unlike other Bonds too, this film is laiden with gadgets, and actually relies heavily on the shooting of action sequences and the story unfolding. In the cars case, this is just aswell maybe.. A BMW? Again? However, the only scene we see it being driven is down a sandy road for just under 10 seconds, and then later on it gets cut in half. Q wouldnt be impressed!
This is definately Bonds best installment with Brosnan, in terms of directing/the making, as it is very original, and does without alot of techno-babble. Its a great film, and I reccomend it to anyone looking for a film that develops with a great pace, and has plenty of action and 'Bond moments'. 9/10 - the extra star would have come from an English car, and a nicer way to see Q leave.
A very good film.......2005-08-25
Brosnan's third Bond film is another good achievement with an interesting story line and a very good cast. The strongest element to this film is the fact that the main villain turns out to be a woman- Elektra King played by the stunningly beautiful Sophie Marceau. Although some of the action goes to such an extreme that some of it loses all credibility, the wit, some of the music and the acting are of a very good standard making this an enjoyable Bond film. Except I still disapprove of a BMW as a Bond car.
Great characters and casting........2004-09-24
I have always been a fan of this entry into the James Bond canon and I credit this to Michael Apted's effort to make it a character led piece.
The brilliant casting of Sophie Marceau as the wonderfully mixed up Electra King creates one of the best Bond girls/villains of the series and her ultimate relationship with Renard creates a dark and brooding atmosphere for the end of the movie. Robert Carlyle was an interesting find for this Bond villain too as he evokes a sense of naive love behind his driven madman persona. I did enjoy Denise Richards' turn as the 'main' Bond girl, but she is far more generic than Electra and in some ways only offers someone for Bond to cop off with in the closing scenes. The writers did try beef up her character a bit, but her role as nuclear physisist is slightly implausible, although ultimately invaluable to the plot.
I was pleased that this mission was brought to a personal level for M, played brilliantly by Dame Judi Dench, and her extra screen time really adds to the character driven feel.
Another great part is that of Zukovsky. Robbie Coltrane returns to pick up the character where he left off in Goldeneye and this time the relationship with Bond develops through the twisting plotline towards one of the best conclusions to a bond film.
The action is impressive, especially during the pre-title sequence on the Thames, but on occassion does feel somewhat souless and you can tell Apted prefers to direct the charater scenes. I did like the high octane tunnel ride that comes later in the film in which Christmas and Bond try to defuse a nuclear bomb at breakneck speeds. This felt more original and more crucial to the plot than, say, the all round generic skiing scene in the Alps. Its fun, but just feels a tad shoved in because there hadn't been any action for a while.
As I said, this film is one of my favourites, and well worth owning, particularly for Bond fans, to see the direction Apted has taken with the characters. It loses a star because the action scenes sometimes detract from the storyline rather than augment it, but its only a slight quibble, they're fun all the same, although never as colourful as some of the Tomorrow Never Dies action.
Character-wise its on top form, as is Brosnan's Bond (as always), and well worth the money. Buy it.
SHOCKING!.......2004-08-06
STARRING: Pierce Brosnan as 007, Sophie Marceau as BOND GIRL Elektra King, Denise Richards as BOND GIRL Dr. Jones, Robert Carlyle as RENARD, Robbie Coltrane as ZUKOVSKY & John Cleese as 'R'. TITLE SONG BY: Garbage.
"The World is Not Enough", derived from the Bond family motto in OHMSS. Pierce Brosnan makes his penultimate appearance (after announcing he was quitting after 'Die Another Day'). In this film, Bond is pushed to the limits. He beds two glamorous Bond girls, has to rescue his boss, face a bomb at MI6 Headquarters and shoot a girl!! Sir Robert King, a big oil baron is killed by a bomb at MI6 HQ. Being a friend of M's and still having a daughter Elektra, King's death is investigated and the culprits tracked down by MI6's best agent, 007. Bond has to travel the world to find Renard, an almost invincible terrorist. Is Elektra's life in danger or is there something far more sinister? This film has a long beginning before the opening titles appear, with a fight at a Swiss Bank in Spain, an explosion at MI6 HQ, a boat race on the River Thames and balloon explosion above the Millenium Dome. This film from 2000 is again following a newer more farfetched style. With the last appearance of the original 'Q' (Desmond Llewelyn). However it introduces John Cleese as his assistant and succesor 'R'. He adds a synical and comic side to the gadgetry, as poor old Desmond shows his age, a big change since the Q of the 1960s. Nevertheless one of the greatest Bond films, where Bond is forced to KILL a girl he had a relationship with, so unlike the Connery or Moore James Bond. Great gadgets and the average Bond car, definitely not one to be missed!
Amazon.co.uk Review
In his 19th screen outing The World is Not Enough, Ian Fleming's super-spy is once again caught in the crosshairs of a self-created dilemma: as the longest-running feature-film franchise, James Bond is an annuity his producers want to protect, yet the series' consciously formulaic approach frustrates any real element of surprise beyond the rote application of plot twists or jump cuts to shake up the audience. This time out, credit 007's caretakers for making some visible attempts to invest their principal characters with darker motives--and blame them for squandering The World is Not Enough's initial promise by the final reel. By now, Bond pictures are as elegantly formal as a Bach chorale, and this one opens on an unusually powerful note. A stunning pre-title sequence reaches beyond mere pyrotechnics to introduce key plot elements as the action leaps from Bilbao to London. Pierce Brosnan undercuts his usually suave persona with a darker, more brutal edge largely absent since Sean Connery departed. Equally tantalising are our initial glimpses of Bond's nemesis du jour, Renard (Robert Carlyle), and imminent love interest, Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), both atypically complex characters cast with seemingly shrewd choices and directed by the capable Michael Apted. The story's focus on post-Soviet geopolitics likewise starts off on a savvy note, before being overtaken by increasingly Byzantine plot twists, hidden motives and reversals of loyalty superheated by relentless (if intermittently perfunctory) action sequences.
Bond's grimmer demeanour, while preferable to the smirk that eventually swallowed Roger Moore whole, proves wearying, unrelieved by any true wit. The underlying psychoses that propel Renard and Elektra eventually unravel into unconvincing melodrama, while Bond is supplied with a secondary love object, Denise Richards, who is even more improbable as a nuclear physicist. Ultimately, this world is not enough despite its better intentions. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com
On the DVD: There are three different documentaries on this disc, as well as a "Secrets of 007" featurette that cuts between specific stunt sequences, behind-the-scenes footage and storyboards to reveal how it was all done, and a short video tribute to Desmond Llewelyn ("Q"), who died not long after this movie was released.
