Rank 3 of 23. I saw a presidential survey asking which was the greatest president ever. Washington was number 1, Clinton and George W Bush were tied for number 2. Sometimes that which you saw most recently is deemed the best you have seen. Being aware of this I still say that the 22nd bond movie made is my third favorite, recentcy being not relavent.
The new "owner" of the bond enterprise finally keep her politics in check a little bit by just having the writers create strong, interesting and at the same time beautiful female characters to balance and play off of Brosnan's charisma. M (Bonds female boss) actually was part of the plot this time. Denise Richards as a 22 year, built and gorgeous nuclear physicist was a stretch, but I smiled and accepted it. Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) is deliciously powerful, vulnerable and beautiful. For families there is no cursing with only a suggestion of sex and nudity. This was to be Desmond Llewelyn's (Q) last bond film, but sadly he died shortly after its release in a car accident, preventing any cameo's that health considerations might have allowed. I still think that Tim Dalton was closest to the Fleming novels bond, but Brosnan is so good that he will probably rank as the second best bond after Sean Connery.

After a surprisingly dismal entry in Tomorrow Never Dies, Pierce Brosnan bounces back with an emphatic performance in Bond #19, The World Is Not Enough. That is not to say Brosnan's outing in his previous film was horrendous (In fact, Brosnan was solid in Tomorrow Never Dies), but he was graced with a more alluring storyline, although at times spotty in its execution. Aside from the unimpressive Bond girl stint of the stunning and delectable Denise Richards, all aspects of the film computed to make The World Is Not Enough a worthy rival to the classic Goldeneye, as Brosnan's best Bond film.
The plot takes a cue from Dalton's The Living Daylights, in that it is dark, deliberate, methodical, complicated and hence, somewhat confusing. The story starts off with Bond in a Swiss bank located in Bilbao, Spain, where our hero secures the money of a wealthy oil magnate, Sir Robert King. Bond returns to MI6 in London and hands over the the cash to King, but he is mysteriously assassinated thereafter. 007 deduces his daughter, Elektra King, played brilliantly by the unbelievably sultry Sophie Marceau, will be targeted next by King's killer. Bond believes that an anarchist, Renard (Robert Carlyle of The Full Monty fame), who has a bullet entrapped in his brain, near his medulla oblongata and had previously kidnapped Elektra, is the one responsible for King's untimely death and will be Elektra's potential assailant. With that, Bond ventures to Azerbaijan, where Elektra is organizing an operation to build a breakthrough oil pipeline, to shield Elektra and hunt down the suspected terrorist. As Bond further delves into his investigation, he exposes that Elektra has Stockholm Syndrome, meaning she has fallen in love with her abductor, Renard and it turns out she was just playing Bond all along. Together, Elektra and Renard attempt to take control of the Western oil supply, by detonating a nuclear bomb in Istanbul, where all three competing pipelines lead to. Bond tags along with nuclear scientist, Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards), who earlier attempted to thwart Renard in his successful quest to capture a nuclear bomb at a nuclear bomb deactivation facility, to save the day.
The World Is Not Enough is a fun, provocative, edge-of-your-seat thriller, exhibiting Brosnan at the top of his game. This is Brosnan's most inspired performance, even more so than Goldeneye, as he seems to display more passion into this effort. Equally impressive is the show-stopping Sophie Marceau, who portrays Elektra, as the mentally frenetic, chilling, yet thrilling "good-girl-gone-really-bad" vixen. Marceau stands out as the best Bond girl villain in the entire series and an honorable mention as one of the very best Bond girls, overall. Robert Carlyle is cold and calculating as the menacing, seemingly invincible, impervious, and tragic Renard. Denise Richards is not as bad as what many critics and die-hard or casual Bond fans would claim her to be. Definitely, Denise is pretty on-screen eye candy, but of course, she is not exactly gifted in acting skills, and her outing is no exception, though she was used quite well, in that she had rather simple lines in the film. The supporting cast receives kudos for being a solid cast. Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane), as previously seen in Goldeneye, steps into a bigger role, as a comic relief tough guy. M (Judi Dench) also receives a boost into a magnified role and she is surprisingly solid. Of course, Q, played by the late Desmond Llewellyn makes a short, bittersweet farewell appearance.
As for the story and screenplay, The World Is Not Enough comes through with an excellent rhythmic flow, although the events tend to zip and zap with quick transitions, at times. The action sequences are formidable and more impactful than those of Goldeneye, in my honest opinion. The rip-roaring pre-title sequence sets the tone of the film beautifully, with the pipeline and Nuclear bomb hijack scenes standing out. The climax is superb and suspenseful, especially the torture scene where Elektra, in sultry, methodical fashion, gets closer and closer to breaking Bond's neck. To cap it all off, Garbage, with the sexy redhead lead Shirley Manson at vocals, rocks with an excellent theme song. All in all, The World Is Not Enough is a sexy, smart, rollercoaster of an adventure, which probably unseats Goldeneye as Brosnan's finest accomplishment as Bond.

The Bond franchise took a beating after the last couple of Roger Moore's outings and the Timothy Dalton take on Bond. If you watch these films, the production values were very low at the point of looking like made-for-tv movies. Other action movies were overtaking what the Bond series had started. The producers took a breather, reevaluated the series and brought in Pierce Brosnan. Wise choice. The production values are very high, and the atmosphere of these new Bond films have a distinct flair as did the Sean Connery series. Also gone is the Roger Moore light attitude towards the character. Near the end of his series, he seemed to be winking at the audience every chance he could get. THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH succeeds with Pierce Brosnan's intense respect and serious take on the character and it is a welcomed one. When he says he's doing what he's doing for Queen and country, it is very believable. Good cast from Sophie Marceau, Denise Richards and Richard Carlyle (THE FULL MONTY). James Bond is defintely back.

In this movie, "007 The World Is Not Enough" is a spectacular movie! This is worth your money! This is about James Bond on a mission to save the world! James has his partner, Christmas Jones to help him defeat Electra and Renard. Of course James has his gadgets with him. Defeating all the bad people one by one is his duty and make sure that nothing goes wrong.
This is rated PG-13 because there may be some violence, sexularity and such. This is about 2 hours and 8 minutes long.
I highly recommend you to get this. This could be one of your James Bond collections.
