Advantages: It's a Bond movie
Disadvantages: It's a Bond movie

...are going to get. The nineteenth official Bond Movie T.W.I.N.E. delivers and then some. Spectacular action scenes, deliberately laughable dialogue, product showcasing, beautiful women, clever gadgets and not-so-clever villains. It's meant to be fun and it is. But with the DVD you not only get this, but you get a heap load of extras as well. Two commentaries, four documentaries (total length over an hour), and various other things. See a website ...

Advantages: Fine performances, and a good plot
Disadvantages: Christmas Jones does not look like a nuclear physicist

The plot: Sir Robert King who is a British oil tycoon, and a friend of M is assassinated by Renard, an international terrorist. MI-6 had sent agent 009 to kill Renard. Although 009 had shot Renard in the head, he did not die. The bullet since then has slowly made its way towards his cerebral cortex; numbing him of any physical sensation in the process. Although the bullet will eventually kill him, Renard grows more powerful with each passing day, ... Read review

Advantages: acting
Disadvantages: noot up to usual boond quality

Watching the film makes you wonder what really goes in on Bond's head. For the millionth time he has a high-speed ski chase, yet this is no stunt man then close-up of Roger Moore in front of a filmed backdrop situation. Okay, well, it IS, but effects have improved so that it is almost believable that Brosnan is leaping all over the place and stopping four very nice flying bobsleighs. Does he think of his parents, killed in the novels during an avalanche? ... Read review

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: Sorted Alphabetcally or as they come?

...terrible mistake, seemingly ignorant of the best of its predecessors or the qualities of its competitors, this Bond illustrates that going through the motions is not enough. Lowpoints? Take your pick from the scene with Q (always suspect - why do they persist in keeping this lame banter) - soon to be R, played by John Cleese reprising English Twit (there's adventuruous casting), to the poorly shot chase sequences, the pitiful accents (Robbie Coltrane's ...

Advantages: GOOD ALL ROUNDER
Disadvantages: None as far as I'm concerned

Bond is back... to save the world - AGAIN!! With more special effects and kitsch cliches, this is another action-packed adventure. This movie though, is a sad farewell to Q, otherwise known as Desmond Llewelyn who died in a car accident last year. He is replaced by R, by none-other than Mr Fawlty Towers himself, John Cleese. Robert Carlyle and Robbie Coltrane do their best with some unforgivable foreign accents, whilst two stunning women provide the ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing stunts, BMW Z8, excellent performances.
Disadvantages: Not much of John Cleese, one-liner really cheesy at end of film!

...currently only available on DVD. The story is up to the usual Bond standard, so is the corny one-liners; listen for the one at the end of the film! The film opens with a boat chase down the Thames and onto a breahtaking view of the Millenium Dome. A excellent performance by Robert Caryle as Bond's baddie. The film also introduces us to 'R' (John Cleese) shame though there wasn't a bit more of him. The DVD is crammmed of extras, including various documentaries. ... Read review

Advantages: lots of extras - the major selling factor of this disc
Disadvantages: not exactly the best Bond film you're likely to see

From the start, I'd just like to say that this is one of the best DVDs for special features, making it good value for money, even at the full retail price. However, for me, the film was ultimately disappointing. It is a Bond Films in every sense of the term, but for some reason it seems really flat. You will watch it once, and I guarantee you will like it - but I doubt you'll want to watch it again, it just doesn't have that re-watchable appeal. I ... Read review

Advantages: A solid film with a fantastic supporting host of extras.
Disadvantages: Bond theme running a little thin with so many competitors vying for the spy theme.

OK so The World Is Not Enough (TWINE) may not be the best Bond movie in the collection. But it is certainly not the worst. Anyway, if you are reading this the chances are that you have seen the film anyway. So what is the DVD release like? The picture quality is excellent, some effort has gone into making sure that the disc has received a decent transfer. From the backdrops of snow covered mountains to the darkness of the caviar factory battle ... Read review

Advantages: Decent story and great sound provide a good all round Bond experience
Disadvantages: Not the best Bond film made so far

The nineteenth Bond film and the third featuring Piece Brosnan, The World Is Not Enough delivers all the heart pounding action, incredible visual effects, and as for the DVD version, amazing sound that all James Bond fans have come to expect. I have only one gripe with this film: James Bond in a BMW? It doesn'twork, I'm sorry. It has to be Aston Martin. The film provides nothing groundbreaking as far as the Bond films are concerned, but certainly ... Read review

Advantages: it's bond
Disadvantages: it's not goldeneye

...bad choice when you're in the mood to turn your brain off and indulge in the usual, totally implausible James Bond spy fantasy. Okay, you know what you're going to get with a newer Bond film. Here's my take on what worked and didn't: The boat chase and ski chase scenes are expertly done and work. Sophie Marceau's exquisite beauty is a definite plus. The radar sunglasses scene is cool. It was good to see John Cleese in the film, but his role wasn't ... Read review

Advantages: A Great night in
Disadvantages: none

...pain (He was shot in the head by 008) Some of the action scenes are the best i have ever seen. This is unrelenting breathtaking action movie wich you will want to see again and again. GO get it. Extras on the dvd include a Tribute to Desmond Llewelyn,Garbage theme music, The secrets of 007, and many more 17 IN ALL ... Read review

Advantages: comedy, action
Disadvantages: N/A

...far feel that it is the best james bond so far. i felt that pierce brosnon bought a new dimension to james bond in this films. as he brings a certain comedy effect to the film making it seem more a comedy action film as many james bond's before took the role far to serious and i did not enjoy them at all but i found this film very entertaining. and i loved every second of it. i would highly recommend this film to anyone interested in the james bond ...
