The action is definitely fun, but way more over the top than it needs to be. But even looking past the villain, there's not much substance to the story or other characters either. ![]() What? I know Bond villains can have their fair share of strange qualities, but to have a guy with a bullet in his head that can't feel pain was way too far fetched. A terrorist with a link to MI6, can't feel pain because a bullet is logged in between his membranes delaying all types of pain and feeling. In the ongoing list of nuclear based villains, this film contains perhaps the strangest. ![]() The World is Not Enough is yet another example of a lackluster and disappointing Bond installment. It's not all Brosnan's fault, it's the writing, directing, and overall lack of great story telling. I feel bad for people who grew up with the Brosnan films, which are turning out to be weak to say the least. I feel spoiled that I was able to get into Bond at a time when Daniel Craig was at the helm. Unless you count the whiplash that results from laughing at such casting, the entertaining action scenes can't redeem this fair to middling adventure unlike its predecessor, Tomorrow Never Dies. Even with a film featuring a lot of one-note acting, one particular character and performance pretty much sums up how sloppily this film got executed: Denise Richards gets plays a nuclear physicist, Dr. Brosnan's gives the worst performance of his run and Carlyle, though menacing and funny in Trainspottiing, is just one-half of that equation here: laughable. In this PG-13-rated spy thriller, James Bond (Brosnan) uncovers a nuclear plot when he protects an oil heiress (Marceau) from her former kidnapper, an international terrorist (Robert Carlyle) who can't feel pain.Įven the actors seem to put their feet up in this tiring exercise. The film needs to offer up some aspects that filmgoers have never seen before and, save for Judi Dench's M getting captured and bringing in John Cleese as Q, not enough happens to qualify. For a series boasting Gold Standards such as From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, the aforementioned title bearer, and The Spy Who Loved Me, it's not enough for chapter nineteen to rest on the sum parts' laurels with a plot creakily by-the-book. Sloppy all around, the franchise seems content to let the latest Bind adventure simply operate on cruise control, an easy-to-follow cake recipe starring a charismatic lead and explosions. The World is Not Enough in total, however, summons none of this save for making the audience restless. The World is Not Enough in name refers to the Bond family's motto, bringing up thoughts of restlessness and a desire for intrigue and passion. Even with a title purloined from Bond classic On Her Majesty's Secret Service, such phrasing ultimately proves to be the most interesting thing about this often silly and miscast rote spy romp. ![]()
