The World is Not Enough (1999) Review

 Title: The World is Not Enough
Year: 1999
Director: Michael Apted
Country: UK
Language; English

The World is Not Enough is a tearjerker, but not for the reason you'd expect. This was the last feature film of Desmond Llewelyn, who played Q throughout the Bond franchise. He had been a staple of the series since From Russia With Love (1963). and many fans looked forward to his scenes, which often featured him giving Bond a ridiculous gadget. Seeing his last scene  At 85 years old, he lived a long life, but we all wish he lived a lot longer. 

James Bond (Piece Brosnan) uncovers a nuclear plot while protecting an oil heiress from her former kidnapper, an international terrorist who can't feel pain.

The last James Bond film of the Twentieth Century, The World is Not Enough features a great opening song by Garbage & is one of the most impressive of t007 features when it comes to thrilling, pulse pounding action scenes. TWINE is fast-paced, with the 2 hours feeling like 20minutes.

I like Bond Girl Christmas Jones, if only for the name & associated puns. "Christmas came early this year."  & I think Pierce Brosnan has a better developed personality than his previous two outings. I would argue that the plot is a bit weak; the story itself is not very engaging or providing a lot of depth. TWINE is very much style over substance.

The World is Not Enough is a pretty average film that is enjoyable, but not very memorable. Cinephiles often site 1999 as one of the best years in film history, but that's because of The Matrix, American Beauty, and The Sixth Sense. Nobody claims 1999 was great because of Bond.
