Complete with ski chases, casino hijinks, high-tech gadgetry, and sultry women, the 19th installment in the James Bond franchise features the increasingly at ease Pierce Brosnan in...
more...his third appearance as 007, in a race to save the world's oil supply. Sophie Marceau (BRAVEHEART) stars as Elektra King, the daughter of a murdered oil tycoon, while Robert Carlyle (THE FULL MONTY) plays one of the most unusual Bond villains ever: Renard, who is unable to feel pain because of a bullet lodged in his brain. Director Michael Apted, known for such films as COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, was brought in to bring more drama to the story and more complex female characters. One of the fruits of Apted's involvement is that M (Judi Dench) gets to move from behind her desk, while curvy Denise Richards (WILD THINGS) gets to show off more than her figure. Dangerous stunt work, exhilarating action sequences, and a rousing theme song from alternative rock band Garbage make this a worthy addition to the 007 series. The film also marks the 17th and final appearance of Desmond Llewelyn as Q; John Cleese is introduced as Q's successor, R.

Bond is back.... this is Bond's 19th outing and Brosnan's third.
The World is Not Enough is 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. This film is a must for all Bond fans and an excellent overall film.
